VWP has some and i am up for playing your suggested game ....

mcoulson

I would highly recommend the underground walking tour of the centuries-old streets and buildings under the royal mile, many of the current buildings having been simply built on top - look for "the real Mary King's close". It's many years since we did this, but I found it fascinating. Mand...

Usual practice for me is morning decant, into cool decanter, kept cool by ice packs. But I’m bringing a Graham LBV (bot. 2001), as donated by Harry, and likewise a Tesco 1995 doesn’t need a twelve-hour decant. I propose: • 7am for the Warre Cavadinha 1995, and kept cool; • After lunch (so in my off...
