Thu 24 Nov 2016 - Berry Brothers Annual Port Walk
Posted: 08:25 Wed 04 Jan 2017
On Thursday 24th November a number of TPF members attended the annual Berry Brothers Port Walk in the Pickering Cellar of their St James's shop. Charles Symington was there to present the wines, which were predominantly from Symington Family Estates. There were 16 vintage Ports shown plus a small number of other ports that I did not have the time to try. I managed to take notes of the following wines:
As usual the Port Walk was excellently organised if a little busy and the walk through the cellars to get to the Pickering Cellar allowed many interesting trophy (empty) bottles to be admired.
