My misunderstandings in respect of Port often lead to disagreements or controversies. This sounds like the tasting for me!

Re: 1985 Horizontal - 16 March 2022

Please may I order the following:

Starter - Welsh rarebit (I’m sure I got away with this as a starter order late last year…)
Main - rare steak, green beans and shallots & béarnaise sauce.

Many thanks.
