A note to people who have not yet paid the requested amounts to me, please contact me as soon as possible. I am shortly going to have to pay a significant amount of money to secure places at various dinners.

If you have not already paid me and do not contact me before 20 April I will assume that you are no longer travelling with us to celebrate our 10th anniversary. You may be able to join us later, but reservations for people not paying / contacting me prior to 20 April will be subject to availability at the time.

Thank you.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Axel - please do let us know about the tasting, especially comparison of '71 vs latest if you're allowed publicly.
(wish I could have joined you - but you know that! Hope everything shows well)

Very sad to be leaving Porto this morning but I feel I have made some contribution to the recognition of 10 years of TPF. A big thank you to those who made it possible and who helped make my trip so memorable.
