Wed 17th April - Oscar Quevedo
Re: Wed 17th April - Oscar Quevedo
Hi,
would be interested to join as well but cannot say for sure if I can. Have been away for 2 weeks and need to check schedule first. Please also confirm that brown sticky port is tawny/Colheita. If so I might be able to bring something interesting.
regards

No problem, you would not be the first person to arrive at an offline around 9pm - nor the last!RonnieRoots wrote:I am in town that day, but have another tasting to attend first. Would it be problematic if I arrive somewhat late, probably around 9PM? Would be great to see Oscar again.
Oh, and I would have to adopt (or buy something from Davy's list).
Davy's currently have on their bar wine list Smith Woodhouse 1983, Dow 1994, Offley 1977 and Taylor 1980. A call to the Bung Hole on +44 207 831 8365 would sort out one of these. You're probably too late to order off the Davy's Off-license Wine List.

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

Re: Tue 17th April - Oscar Quevedo
My arrival time is very uncertain, so please could somebody else print the placemats.
Re: Wed 17th April - Oscar Quevedo
The double decant is noted. Assume that this is not blind and so need to mask? Might also try and rustle up a bottle of brown sticky stuff in case of anything unforeseen!
Re: Wed 17th April - Oscar Quevedo
Blinding is optional, but easily done. Tin foil works well (and there will be sticky labels to add to the outside, to distinguish bottles).idj123 wrote:Assume that this is not blind and so need to mask?
Re: Wed 17th April - Oscar Quevedo
Hi,
found the sticky brown stuff. Will bring that despite some believe this is hysterical.
cu on Wednesday

Thank you for helping in my Port education, I knew I could count on you. Now the question is should I go for brown or for red?!?DRT wrote:AHB wrote:Theme - bring a bottle of port to share (note: does not have to be vintage; Oscar quite likes sweet, brown sticky port <<shudder in horror icon>>)I have taken AHB's words as a direct instruction from the organiser to bring a mature Vintage Port, which is what I intend to do. It is our duty to educate young Oscar in the error of his ways.jdaw1 wrote:I’m in. Hurray! Rather lacking in brown stickies should I adopt or bring red?

I'm on the move using my phone. I may be in a port free zone! At least Tapatalk is keeping me in touch. I'm grateful at least for that much.

Re: Wed 17th April - Oscar Quevedo
Hi,
just separated very fine sediment and double decanted the brown sticky stuff. Was also able to put the older orginal driven cork back in. Really morish juice Rob would say. And the smell.....
Obviously tonight Oscar is intended to be shown the merits of vintage port versus brown sticky stuff. Not sure if this is gonna work.
Not a lot of label left but still put bt in tinfoil.
cu tonight

I've just decanted. Big flakes of sediment in the bottle and juice that is fabulous in flavour.

Will take Ronnie's place, if that's OK..

My pair were decanted at 3pm. One cork disintegrated; one fell into the bottle.
Start at 6pm-ish.
