Can't positively recall drinking an 1890, but one may have crept in somewhere..

Either none or two — and you are on the placemats for the 1890 horizontal on 11 July 2008 at Portal restaurant.uncle tom wrote:Can't positively recall drinking an 1890, but one may have crept in somewhere..

I don't think Tom attended that tasting. Firstly, I do not recall him being there and, more convincingly, the review of the tasting and the TNs do not include the T55? and Fr45 that are attributed to him on the placemats.jdaw1 wrote:Either none or two — and you are on the placemats for the 1890 horizontal on 11 July 2008 at Portal restaurant.uncle tom wrote:Can't positively recall drinking an 1890, but one may have crept in somewhere..
For whatever reason, Tom appears to have missed this great event.
