Re: Porto Colheita 1968 - Envelhecido em Casco - OOPS!
Susan, sorry for the less than ideal news. Colheita is tawny port from a single year, aged in a wooden barrel and then at some point bottled.

Re: Tuesday 15th May 2018, for the Royal Wedding
Does anyone have a bottle of Cockburn Pink LBV? LBV is not allowed. Have we access to any NV? :D The plan is for a tasting as splendid as that for E2>V . Understood. Consider me reprimanded. I will try my best to deliver on theme. In any case, Pink Cockburn isn't listed on their website, surely it ...

Re: Alcohol and health

Re: Tuesday 15th May 2018, for the Royal Wedding
Given the Groom's reputation as a bit of a lad (reformed now I am sure), I wonder if he is familiar with Cockburn.

Re: Coravin
So far, the cost has prevented me from buying a coravin, although I really do like the idea. I did however back the kickstarter campaign of this new device as I think it's quite a cool innovation.

Re: Port and Madeira inquiry
They may be past their best but will still probably be quite pleasant. They may not be worth very much to sell, but a good option perhaps is to drink these with family and friends in memory of your father.

Indeed, thank you Ian and everyone on decanting and pouring duties. An excellent evening, with an early start. GC certainly did not disappoint, with some very good wines.
