Not quite, I have the Fr70!

I’m in.

‘have’

I am in desperate need of a Tasting and so yes (and I the River Quintas iteration).

23, 24 or 25 May work for me.

Apologies all that I have had to drop out of today’s tasting on account of family circumstances but hopefully I should be available again for the next one. Enjoy!

As already flagged up elsewhere, I will unfortunately be unable to attend this tasting as a family matter means that I now have childcare responsibilities that evening.

RV70 decanted just before 1pm today. Not tasted but smelled good. ETA 6.15pm

https://youtube.com/live/7IMamF9i1Rw?feature=share Let's go for the usual 5;30 for 6;00pm kick-off. Stream to start at 6;15 to properly commence at 6;30pm. 15mins is enough to battle techinical difficulties... right? Err…is not ‘the usual’ 6pm for 6.30pm? Certainly, I might struggle to get there be...

Will have my current usual, being:
Truffle mac n cheese
Sirloin steak (M-R) fries and green beans

Think I will bring a RV70.

There are some pretty good wines for sale in the Harvey Nichols sale. F85 - £52. Cr94 - £37. Grahams The Master 1940 - £437. https://www.harveynichols.com/sale/food-and-wine/wines-and-spirits/wine/port-and-fortified-wine//sort_by=high_to_low/ Not sure what volumes they had available but I committed...

Alas, I am already committed to playing Badminton that night and so will be unable to join you.

According to the BBC website, he was drinking alcohol and eating cheese at an (the?) airport lounge at London City airport and so that was probably the source of his Port. Therefore, just need to establish what Port they serve there…My guess would be a standard ruby.

Yes, count me in, have various mags that are readily accessible.

I’m in (train strikes depending).

Merry Christmas to all fellow Port heads! Had a rather wonderfully mature N60 last night and today the F70 will be making an appearance

Yes, thanks Tom and fingers crossed that nothing goes awry at the last minute this year! Now just to find a suitable unknown bottle…

I believe that SWR will be running a limited service and so currently am still attending. Alas, I have now seen the strike timetable and apparently my last train back from Waterloo is 5.45pm! Therefore, I will need to leave this tasting to those London domiciled tasters and those with overnight lod...

I believe that SWR will be running a limited service and so currently am still attending.

S70 decanted at 2.45pm. Not tried. Eta 6.30ish

Usual for me (both done to perfection last time) ie:
Truffle Mac n cheese
Steak (M-R) and frites with the green beans etc

Thanks

On a rare foray into the office in Reading on Thursday I purchased one at Aldi and there were a number still on the shelf. Wonder whether this one of those tested at that Dutch lab…

Am also now booked into the Cricketers and so that’s three of us for a taxi.

Could work for me.

Apologies for the tardinesses but food order is my current usual being:
Truffle man n cheese
Steak (M-R) and frites with green beans and the shallots

Thanks
