Re: NEW DATE: Wed 14 Dec 2022 - Quevedo Closure Experiment
When I was added to the list, Alex suggested I bring something as I was the person not paired on the list. I have 2 choices for interesting, depending on how interesting people want to be. Any preferences? The most ‘interesting’ is not a port but a 1990 Domaine Hillside Classico from Azerbaijan. On ...

Hi from London/Kent
Hi I have been reading The Port Forum for a couple of years now. I have made the odd post over the last year but that is it. I was recently lucky enough to be added to the Quevedo tasting next month so thought it was time to introduce myself. I have been a fan of port for many years and made several...

Would it be possible to add me as a reserve for this tasting. I am a big fan of Quevedo ports and this looks really interesting. Thanks.

Re: English Wine Discussion Thread
After port, English wine is what I am most interested in right now. Living in Kent, I am naturally biased towards the Kent vineyards. There are certainly plenty of very boring, poorly produced, over priced cookie cutter wines out there but some really interesting ones too. The ones I really like for...

Allnutt 1893 Price List
Last year I acquired a few bits and pieces of paper that I find interesting (not sure my wife does!). This included 2 x Allnutt prices lists from 1893 (prices for port, sherry, burgundy, claret and brandy). These are not easy to share so I have taken the first page, split into 2 and pasted below. In...

Re: Cleaning an old cork with bleach
Thank you for your replies. I followed the method a couple of times. Whilst I did get a cleaner cork, so I can see this method would work, the missing number remained hidden on this occasion. I have a second bottle of this port and have pasted images here in case anyone can shed any light on this. T...

Re: BBR capsule colours
Not sure if this helps but this is the only one I have (apart from a black capsuled BBR bottle with Dow 1960 handwritten on it)

Cleaning an old cork with bleach
Last night I opened a bottle of very enjoyable port that I had been told was likely to be a bottle of Graham. The cork however revealed it to be Cockburn Vintage 19?7. I have read on this forum that by applying bleach to a cork it may be possible to clean some of the staining from the cork. Could so...

Day Tour to Quinta do Vesuvio
I have been meaning to share this for a while in case anyone is considering this trip but time flies sometimes! In September my wife and I spent a week in the Douro, staying at Quinta da Gricha and The Vintage House. A real highlight for us was a day trip to Quinta do Vesuvio (see visit.quintadovesu...

Re: 1857 Bar, St James Hotel & Club, Park Place, London
I finally managed to persuade someone to visit this bar with me yesterday. It is annual review time so I said we could discuss his performance here. Suffice to say we spent 80% of the time discussing port. I think I did a good sales job for the Symington family as I know he has already ordered the 1...

Re: Grahams Old Crusted Port
Thank you for all your replies. I have another bottle of this (in the queue for sometime in 2022) and it does not look like the 1925 bottle. It is green and I can see fairly clearly through it. My instinct is it is a 1950s/1960s bottle although more of a gut feel than anything else. I have scrolled ...

Grahams Old Crusted Port
Hi. I am a port fan and have been reading The Port Forum for a while now. I have learnt so much so thanks. I try to answer my questions by searching the forum but could not resolve this one so thought I would ask if anyone had any further info. I recently bought an unlabelled bottle of port in an au...
