Re: One quiz at a time

New question: A mathematical port fanatic keeps his port in a (temperature and humidity controlled) safe, the key to which is an electronic 6-digit PIN. As he cannot reliably remember this PIN, he has worked out that with each letter representing a different number, he can add three port houses with...

Re: Taylor Single Harvest Tawny 1964

Phil Krohn's has a huge amount of old Tawny's. My understanding is this was from the Krohn's stock. But I've not confirmed that yet. Given their recent acquisition, and the idea of doing this every year, it wouldn't be surprising if this was their plan for the Krohn stock. I wasn't saying it wasn't...

Re: Taylor Single Harvest Tawny 1964

Oh - and the Lay & Wheeler email spiel (which i have to assume was drated by Lay & Wheeler rather than TFP) did amuse me: Would have been even more interesting if it has said "1964 Taylohn", but sadly given keyboard layouts I imagine this is just a simple typo. I really dislike th...

Re: Taylor Single Harvest Tawny 1964

50th Anniversary Release of Taylor's Very Old Single Harvest Port 1964 If this is from the Krohn's lot they bought, I think someone needs to point out them they are quite wrong in their description. And that price :shock: The only Krohn '64 colheita I can see around is a white colheita; since the T...

Re: Apostrophe crimes

Hmm. I noticed a horrendous crime the other day which had not been picked up; unfortunately I failed to write my proof in the margin, and can no longer find it. I am therefore not accusing anyone of anything. Especially DRT ;)

Re: Cooking with Port

I have a Cruz '89 awaiting the same fate, though I'm hoping not to quite match DRT's result. I haven't researched an optimum Port (or Port and wine) reduction, but if anyone has a favourite to recommend, please do. I take it that the Cruz '89 has already been tried and found wanting? Indeed . Two f...
