The Port Forum Christmas Offline
I am usually the last person who would want to organise a Christmas party but, given the problems finding convenient dates for some of our members, I think we should begin this process now. All I will say at this point is that: I am willing to travel and find reasonably priced accommodation Friday's...

Thanks for posting this Fred, very interesting. I was particularly interested in the first section covering the amount of brandy used. I had no idea that this varied from one port to another. I have never tried Infantado VP and now I think I need to find one to see what the difference is. (a poor ex...

Are you sure we have at least 30 already? We need 50 and a couple of spares, to be safe. From previous posts I believe that you have 6, KillerB has 8 and I have 13. Jdaw asked you to buy 12 which means we have 39. If you buy another dozen we will have 51. We have 11 wines and 5 people, so we need 4...

That sounds like the F Plan! That's because that what it is :D I was thinking of decanting the 85 around lunchtime, using Jdaw1's filter. Which gives it 4-6 hours-ish. Does that sound ok? No. My experience of this wine (3 bottles in last 12 months) is that it does not change significantly until aft...

The total number of port glasses already available is 13+8+6=27, so we already have almost half of the glasses we need. I could content myself with 5 glasses for the evening as I see no need to have all 11 ports sitting in glass in front of me at any point in time. Do we really need more glasses? If...

Landlord Revisited
I have a punt ód the fabled TTL in front of me now. I thought beer had a head? Not this baby. Flat as Norfolk. Does not smell of cheese, which is a plus for me. I like the weight of this and its not too bitter. Very enjoyable and head and shoulders above the others so far tonight. Derek PS: can a...

Worthingtons Creamflow
Hmmmmm, I don't think this is a REAL ale. Cold, very smooth and too much like Bodingtons to be a credible beer. But, being a girl, I quite enjoyed this one.

Spitfire Kentish Ale
As some of you already know I normally drink girls beer, otherwise known as lager. Tonight, being bored of sitting in my hotel, I have decided to visit a few pubs in covent garden to sample some warm brown stuff. 1st up is Spitfire. A strange cheesy smell. Very brown, like a 20 year old tawny. Bitte...
