I'm good for the new date.

hadge

why not, humm my gateway port, was a T27, but the night before there was a G63 which i enjoyed which made my host open the T27 the next evening. therefore i will bring a G63 which created the openning.

I think that i'm going to be watching this one from the side, have a big dinner the next night plus half term.

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...

hadge

well, I have been lucky enough to have a few sucking pig with Port. i think that i would go for a Taylor 77 or a Graham 70. the sweetness really works I find.

I have added everyone to the first post. I will be closing the expression of interest on Sunday 17th May. I plan to confirm numbers and draft itinerary at the end of the month. I noticed Mike wasn't on the list of interested people on the first post, assumed this was an oversight (he was the first ...

I think they will be released for EP buying after 18th May, but don't quote me on that.

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...

hadge

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...

hadge

i would push the cork in or use tongs. yes the shipper and date should be on the cork.

5th or 12th works for me ..... But why not hold it on the 7th ? For that matter how about the holding it on the 7th of July 2027 at 7pm ?

QH only have the BBR 77
