Re: Quaffings for Xmas

We started opening bottles on the 15th December (it's rude not to) so far it's been a 63 Dow, 63 Taylor, 63 Croft, 63 Cockburn, 63 Noval and a nice little mystery bottle of a 35 Graham 3 days out and doubt we are going to top that now!

Re: Which 1945 VP?

I've had the Rebello and it was immense really really lovely wine, not as good as the Cockburn's 27 though - I've got a very fine example of the Croft 45 in the cabinet which I am not drinking just yet :wink:

Re: Almost meaningless drivel

We bought a Climadiff from Tanglewood and are also delighted with it, we paid the extra for all sliding drawers. We would love to buy a second but how many bottles is feasible to store at home? :P
