Re: Tue 11 Jun 2019 — 1994 Mini Horizontal
Christopher, I have not seen the first post being updated with the current guest list (this may well be a device failure my end) but, if you haven't picked up that I would like to be there if there is space, I would like to be there if there is space. As noted above, all I currently have from 1994 i...

Re: The cork fell in... and other excuses
Tom's is the perfect answer in that it properly combines computer programming with economic data, a behavioural analysis overlay, and the happily remorseless consumption of significant quantities of port. [I forwarded this thread to a friend of mine who is a, quietly brilliant, economist and social ...

Re: Latest buy
A couple of weeks ago I bought some halves following a tasting note from AHB. 2000 Fortnum & Mason x 6 Consuming one reminded me of how useful I find halves - especially as cellar defenders. So today I ordered, from FWW, 24 halves of SQVP which I can reasonably expect to be drinking now. 2001 Gr...

The cork fell in... and other excuses
I was reviewing my ports this evening and checking levels on the older stuff. On holding my last bottle of Croft '63 up to the light I found the cork had fallen in (although the plastic capsule had held). Obviously it was put out of its misery immediately. Although a bit light it is proving surprisi...

Re: Tue 11 Jun 2019 — 1994 Mini Horizontal
Hello. I would like to attend if a place becomes free. But, the only 1994 I have is Smith Woodhouse, which I believe someone else is bringing. (Indeed, the fact I have no others is the reason I would so like to attend- to know which I want to buy.) Would it be possible to adopt? Or, tell me what's m...

Re: 2000 Fortnum and Mason
On the basis of your TN, I (well, my girlfriend on my behalf) acquired half a dozen halves of this from Fortnum's yesterday. Had one with the cheese last night. It was indeed pretty splendid, ready to go but with life comfortably to continue for another decade. The cork I extracted was branded Niepo...

Re: Tue 21st May 2019 - an informal offline
Splendid. I shall be there, with the interesting-other-fortified decanted into a suitably anonymous bottle in advance, and the original bottle also, wrapped, for the later reveal. Male. Initials GEG. Right handed. Food order (which I shall double-post to the appropriate food thread) starter: goats' ...

Re: Tue 21st May 2019 - an informal offline
Hello. If a new bug might be an acceptable additional attendee, I would quite like to attend. However, most of my port is 100 miles away and I cannot access it before this event. The only port I have in town is a minor 25-year-old. I do, however, have some slightly more interesting other-fortified t...

Hello from London
Hello. I've been lurking here for many years, deriving enjoyment and knowledge from the discussions, and have decided to emerge from the shadows. My primary vinous collecting and drinking interests are burgundy and madeira, but I have had the pleasure of drinking some admirable port over the years, ...
