Thanks, this works for me. I have F85, T85, G85, W80 and D80.

A very swish bottle complete with pourer. Quite fruity, lovely green salad flavour, good length and sweet finish. Very tasty. Thank you AHB for organising.

Understand 14 is the max. Happy to be on reserve list. Couldn't come on original date, so didn't put name down. Can come in Oct, so did.

I'd like to come please. Either date in October good. I have 1980.

Excellent idea. I would like to come please, but would need to adopt/contribute. Thanks

Sadly I have never had WKD (of any colour). A glaring hole in my education. A quick search of Youtube wasn't terribly helpful - lots of teenagers drinking it as fast as they could to get drunk before going out. A helpful Ozzie reviewed a bottle whilst sitting in his car (yes, very odd) and described...

Thanks. Scooped up a few - the additional £15 off £120 helped!

Six for me please.

Thanks

Apologies, missed this. Thanks, but I'll head straight home afterwards.

If it is as good as the 2009, which is big, rich and lovely, I'll be very happy.

Sandeman LBV 2011 on sale at WaitroseCellar (onlne) 25% off at £11.99 with an additional £15 off if spending £120 or more with voucher code WNAUTUMN15. Wine has to be bought in multiples of 6, but this additional voucher works out rather well for a case of 12. They do now seem to charge for delivery...

+1 Great value.

Both Sandeman 09 LBV and Ferreira 09 LBV opened this weekend. Both very good indeed. Both much better than filtered Noval 05. I'm sorry that many will fail to come across the excellent unfiltered LBV and assume filtered LBV is as good as the category gets. Clear labelling could help, and maybe even ...

The back label, if this helps

I note that Noval also appear to be making both filtered and unfiltered LBV, so caution needed when purchasing.. Noval have been doing that for several years at least, with both available via major suppliers and supermarkets in the UK at different times (and at least once both seen by myself at the...

The pictures are great, but I'd really love to see a video of JDAW zooming on a skateboard. I'm assuming it would bring to mind various James Bond car chases, dashing expertly through narrow streets. Here is a link to JDAW late running late to a tasting. With apologies for the dreadful aspect ratio...

This thread, and the LBVs worth cellaring thread, brought to mind this YouTube video Wine and Spirits Magazine Presents João Nicolau de Almeida interviewing Dirk Niepoort, particularly from about 10:30 mins in.

Glorious detail please. I applaud your good fortune, and would also love to hear about your trip. Hope you have a fantastic time. I'll select something to drink - reading such exploits will make me thirsty.

Very well done. Congratulations.

Breeding implies pedigree. Pedigree implies "class" where higher class is apparently better. In today's world, the concept is debatable.

Agree free corkage a great deal. Available until 11 sept. La Trompette, Chez Bruce and The Glasshouse. One bottle free, other bottles attract corkage. 6 people Chez Bruce 8 the others. 7 days lunch or dinner Sun-Fri. Email reservation to restaurant and copy Yvonne@farrvintners.com. Must be a Farr ac...

In addition, my nearest branch has Sainsbury Taste the Difference vintage port 1998 and 1999 on offer for £12 per bottle or Taylor 2009 and 2010 LBV at £7.20 per bottle. Vintage port @ £9 per bottle anyone? My local Supermarkets never have these mythical specials. Grr. If it isn't on the website it...

The Malvedos struck me as the best too. Six grapes and even Noval LBV rather too much. The wine list is constructed to make less margin on more expensive bottes, and the food is excellent at a more than fair price, so I can forgive them.

Vermouth. Does anyone drink Vermouth neat?

If Buckie counts do QC British wine, Thunderbird, or Scotsmac also count. Perhaps not - too far off the spirit of the thread?
