Four of us, and 4½ bottles. Are we at risk of thirst? Yes, methinks.

It would probably help maximise attendance if the date were chosen soon. What dates are you in the UK?

Placemats.

On that bulletin board a follow-up question has been asked. Are Berrys' Selections a relabelling of the original blender's wine, or are they -- in some way -- different wines? Again, thank you for your help with this historical digging. They wouldn't be ''relabellings'' necessarily - each vintage w...

OK, play nicey nice. He’s a policeman. And bigger than you.

And if you don’t I’ll split the thread.

When you say “Marco†, is it a humorous reference to “MagalhÃƒ£es†? Or have I missed something?

AHB and Jdaw. Please confirm time and place. Err, Wokingham, Tuesday. AHB to confirm. A 1980 horizontal would be of great interest. Possible contributions from me include: 1980 Fonseca (recently purchased from THRA ); 1980 Graham (I have 23 bottles remaining); 1980 Nacional (excellent, and tasting ...

If we ignore the Q d Silval and Q d Marco anomolies for one moment, I think the three principal VPs produced by Noval today need to appear together in the list with the following display names in this order: Quinta do Noval Quinta do Noval Nacional Noval Silval This would require the sort names to ...

I am embarrassed that I have hitherto failed to notice the hyphen. Yes, definitely “Ramos-Pinto†. {Sackcloth and ashes emoticon}

Noval Silval Quinta do Noval (Quinta do Silval) MagalhÃƒ£es (Quinta do Noval) OK, so with this new information I think we need: Quinta do Noval (produced from only the Noval vineyard) Noval (Noval’s main brand, also using other grapes) ; Noval Silval (Noval’s secondary brand) ; Noval Nacional (Nova...

But that is a different Quinta do Silval Which that? Not a “that† different to MagalhÃƒ£es Vintage Porto 2000 as MagalhÃƒ£es is mentioned on their website. The list of names, still not yet including Derek’s extras as I really ought to be doing something else right now. Abbrev. ; Sortable ; Display...

Quinta do Silval has (I believe) no association with Noval and is principally a Hotel. As far as I know they have never made a vintage port. I seem to recall they make some table wines.. ..but I'm not sure? Tom It does have a past with Noval, as they are next to each other. IIRC, Noval now owns som...

Did Quinta do SÃƒÂbio declare 1900 and 1963? And Quinta do Corval the 1977?

FWLIW, Quinta da Pulga can be bought in Estonia from Batsland.

Bottles so far known to be available: 1873 Schofield ( FF ); 1932 Butler Nephew ( ED ); 1947 Barros ( JDAW ); 1952 Barros ( JDAW ); 1938 Hooper ( JDAW ); 1942 Hooper ( JDAW ); 1944 Hooper ( JG ). People: JDAW ; FF ; ED ; AHB ; ADV ? That’s either quorate, or almost so. First draft of placemats .

Yes, I will build a list of questions.

Offley versus OBV. We could show this as two columns, one having been declared in only one year. IMHO, a waste of space. Or we could agree on a multi-declaration symbol, and use it rarely. More mess in the data.

Yes, I could find a way to show the data. Alex B. to gather.
