However, Waitrose currently have Graham 2015 lbv reduced to £10.99/bt.
I think that deal may have been live all but a few hours. I grabbed four.

This is not a drill. Graham's Crusted (think it's 2013) for £10/bottle or £9 with subscribe and save on amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01H0H0ULY? ... 2369730086

Free Festa ticket (London only) 25th June evening session

Hi team, I won two tickets for Festa (by Bar Douro) at Tobacco Docks in London 25th June 5pm-11pm through Port.Club. After trying to sort any form of transport or cheap accommodation, I failed. Jamie Graham is happy for me to pass on the ticket.

Who wants it?

Additionally, following the great tasting we had today, if you happen to be a new laithwaites purchaser (or stumble across a new email) then I'd suggest using NME40Q4 To get 40 off 110. Could be used towards an excellent redemption of Anderson 40YO. Enjoy comrades. If you are about to purchase from ...

Re: Port for sale by retailer

I've been explicitly told to post deals I find.

If you have an American Express card, you can currently get 20 off 100 there. Doesn't seem to be any particularly great port bargains but please, go ham.

Re: Topic WHITE aged ports, Tue 17th May 2022

hmmmmm... guys... that's a shame - our team is shrinking by the hour... Do I need to do anything for the placemats or bottle-wraps? is it everyone printing their own or how does it work? If you have an A3 printer, closer to the time, Julian will put out a request for printing. If you don't someone ...

2004 Croft Roeda

+6 hour decant.

Deep red fruit nose. In the mouth, still quite decent tannins. Blackberry and sloes comes to mind.

A really quite delicious Port and at *checks notes * £17! an excellent drinker.
