Port and the Euros
Though I am in no way a football fan, after listening to India Women beat England Women in the One Day International I switched on the TV and watched the quarter final.
To keep me interested despite whatever happened on the pitch I opened a bottle of Morgan 1991. While a bit rough straight out of the bottle, by the time the game was over it had pulled itself together and was much better integrated.
What else have people opened to accompany the Euros?

Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

I've been enjoying the football with some excellent craft beer, the highlight this evening has been a smoked wheat wine from Torrside.Alex Bridgeman wrote:Though I am in no way a football fan, after listening to India Women beat England Women in the One Day International I switched on the TV and watched the quarter final.

A F75 from magnum which was almost as disappointing as Wales’ abject performance which it accompanied (it was very one dimensional especially compared to a T75 from magnum of a few weeks earlier). A W70 was hastily deployed which was far better and helped deaden the pain!

That’s some impressive drinking for a man on his own, two magnums of 1975 Port.idj123 wrote: ↑08:38 Sun 04 Jul 2021 A F75 from magnum which was almost as disappointing as Wales’ abject performance which it accompanied (it was very one dimensional especially compared to a T75 from magnum of a few weeks earlier).

No, not quite, it was a regular bottle of the W70 and the wife’s birthday to boot and so we had a few friends around to assist! Also opened the Ch Port Club Tawny blend which all who tasted thought very good (the Ch tawnies are a cut above other Producers’ equivalents)Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑10:32 Sun 04 Jul 2021That’s some impressive drinking for a man on his own, two magnums of 1975 Port.idj123 wrote: ↑08:38 Sun 04 Jul 2021 A F75 from magnum which was almost as disappointing as Wales’ abject performance which it accompanied (it was very one dimensional especially compared to a T75 from magnum of a few weeks earlier).
