Post by Constandia »

Hi everyone. I'll be in London a couple of days this spring. Is anyone free to catch up over some port & food at the Boot & Flogger?

Given the BFT, I don’t know - but I’m definitely a possibly.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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

I'll be in London between the 21st and the 24th. I'm attending the BFT, but other than that I'm free.

I’m not usually good company that close to the BFT. It gets pretty all-consuming for the week when it’s on.

Sorry.

Currently, both Thu 18 Apr and Fri 26 Apr are reasonably likely for me, but neither are certain.

That's cool. Do let me know either way. So far the 18th looks more promising from the responses.

Is there a theme? You could take the theme from a recently postponed tasting:
