Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑20:33 Mon 15 Jun 2026 OK. I've now elected to bring a bottle of 1920, my only bottle of 1927 looks a bit pale so I don't want to bring that vintage.

Sorry Harry...

I thought that would be the case.

I’m watching to see who puts forward a 1927 as i need that for the 20th Anniversary event.

hadge

If I had Taylor 77 of the quality and vif of the last bottle of Harry’s I drank, I’d happily drink Taylor 77 with pork of any description. Or indeed, with any foodstuff whatsoever. Or without. After this post, I decided that I had no option but to take one of these to lunch today, you are correct t...

I was lucky enough to make this tasting and join Alex as he was finishing his tasting. Overall, it was a very enjoyable event. A nice venue but the room was very hot, I think that this heat did have a little impact on the wines, as some of them felt a little warm in the glass. My notes in the order ...

Will this come in a variety of wood stains? Harvest stain perhaps? I did try that with the Mk1 and then laser cut the stain away but it was a massive pain .... The Mk3 naming is literally a John Bull Printing set with an ink pad .... How about applying peel off adhesive letters and then stain? Or a...

Humm not sure what to say about Muppet Labs Inc, but clearly they have never seen a proper sized bottle and only drink halves. Therefore I'm still not happy with limited selection of Mk1, Mk2 or Mk3. Where am I going to put the corks from a real sized bottle the magnum, the perfect size bottle a Tap...
