Hit it.

Have you seen the light?

sounds like a good plan! Looking fwd to see on Tuesday!

Fear not! The car is packed and the road is clear - this thing is definitely happening!! :D Great news! :D Just remembered the quote out of the Blues Brothers movie when Elwood said "You see, we're on a mission from God." Have a good journey and see you in London Tuesday afternoon when yo...

if still possible I also would like to attend. Will bring the Niepoort 1960 if this is OK. Wolfgang, I must warn you that this event has all the signs of turning into a Tasting :wink: Yep, you are right, this goes straight into a tasting. :lol: In this case I do not mind since it is Tom's birthday,...

Chris, Julian,

I had recently also a very good bt Taylor 1980 at the Crusting pipe. This was their house vintage port after the Chruchill 1983 did not work out. They must had not a lot of bts since now the Port on offer is the Sandemann 1982.

I agree with everything that Ben said. I also acknowledge Wolfgang's concerns about the risks of too many of these events being too serious. At this point in time I just hope that the tasting that sparked this conversation actually happens. When I opened the curtains this morning I was surprised to...

Oh my god, what has my statement let to. Indeed I like when we get together in the small boardroom in the crustig pipe and drink Port together. Also when we did our 2007 cask sample tasting it was good company, straight forward, without complications and a bit too much Port (at least for me) :( or :...

Hmmm, when talking to Kevin about the tasting we feel that this tasting can no longer be called an "offline" tasting. We should upgrade this to a full tasting and attempt to organise a another true offline as we wanted in the beginning :wink: :nirvana: :lol: Please describe the difference...

This discussion originated in the organisation thread for the Vesuvio Vertical and was moved here by DRT. Hmmm, when talking to Kevin about the tasting we feel that this tasting can no longer be called an "offline" tasting. We should upgrade this to a full tasting and attempt to organise ...

Indeed! Also you will find that in the US/America you would get by by using those :) :wink: For history and tradition it makes sense to use these old weight measures. But as you also found out yourself most of the history (power and glory!) has been lost in the memory of the people who live in the p...

Hi there, why we are not using g and kg? This would resolve the issue I think. :wink: I am not really doing Detox at the moment. Had lost though ~2kg over last week because I was driving to Germany in very wintery conditions :evil: and therefore not drinking a lot. Otherwise if I stay out of the cra...

Hi Julian,

placemats look great. Thanks a lot! Small issue to report, I ordered Pork Fillet and not Duck Breast as far as I recall.

Hi Axel,

Hi Chris,

to remove the 1980 Taylor is fine by me. The wine is good but bot as good as Dow 1980, Grahams, Quarles Harris and Warre 1980.

Hi Alex, interesting champagne. Have not had very many 1999 vintage champagne but they seem to have an appeal i thought when most of them were released was overstated. They are very good indeed, despite the subtleness I noticed aside with a long aftertaste which is remarkable for the year. Lucky you...

Hi there, it was indeed a great evening. With regards to 75s vintage ports I think the only way to find out if they really are all below par is we need to do a horicontal of the ones we think are very good and compare with some typical kind of "Benchmark ports" (par). One of the bts that s...

Hi there, outside the Ports mentioned by Alex: Nacional 1963 Fonseca 1963 Fonseca 1966 Croft 1945 Croft 1927 Nacional 1994 Noval 1931 Graham 1955 Nacional 2003 Noval 1997 Morgan 1945 Gould Campbell 1977 Fonseca 1948 Taylor 1948 Croft 1948 Croft 2003 Graham 1963 Noval 2003 Nacional 1966 Nacional 1960...

Hi Ben,

WS1

not a prob, thanks

Hi there,

after having had a look at the placemats I fear I was forgotten or there was no space anymore;

Please let me know.

Julian, Derek, despite its appeal 88) I think we should not do a full Vesuvio vertical (18bts). I am getting older and have to work the next day :( :crying: Alex, on the other hand would you not certainly agree we have to open all 18 bts if we had 18 participants? Another collegue of mine, Adam, wou...
