Re: Map of the Douro
A few days ago Derek checked a document thoroughly. Today he is being pedantic about what it is to be pedantic. I suspect an imposter.

Re: Friday 13th February: Graham vertical in New York
G75 is not worth the effort. (Because it’s a ’75, and the G75 has never impressed me. They declared because the new post-revolution government wanted it. Revolutions grown old always lose their fruit.) This may well be in Brooklyn (Jay?). Whether there or in a restaurant it will need to finish by mi...

Re: London Colheita tasting - date tbc
So two people definitely can’t make 5th Feb, and I might be able to. So on that date attendance would be at most two, more likely one, and maybe none.
Let’s try a date other than 5th Feb.

If it were Thursday 5th February, then there would be a good chance that I could attend. Friday 6th I’ll be in Cambridge.

Tastings, samplings, and the like, by retailers etc.
This thread is to host announcements of tastings, samplings, trials, and such-like promotions held by retailers, off-licences, and even auction houses. But this not for events requiring to arrange or organise.

Noval 1985, the following day, with Eric D, who reported a nose of ‟stale fried chicken”. To taste more sweetness and less brightness than the previous day. More acidic. Too long in the decanter.

Re: 1989½Â±4½ Cálem
1989½Â±4½ Cálem: the following day, with Eric D, all I wrote was ‟So much bigger than the pieces. And longer than the pieces.” I recall it being better on the first day, but even on the second a worthwhile blend. Eric D suggested buying both parts so that his house port could be the blend.
