Inspired by the whites tasting organised by recent member Nelly, would there be interest in a theme of Crusted? I say blind. Bottles can young or old, cheap or expensive, single or magnum, but they must be of sediment-throwing red Port that isn’t quite Vintage.

Posted: **15:29 Fri 15 Apr 2022**

I like the theme.

It is unlikely that I will be able to attend given the other tastings either side of the proposed date. If I can, it will be a decision taken on the day if a space is still available.

It’s so nice to hear that I’ve inspired you, Julian!
I wish I could join you guys for this one as well. But I have my WSET diploma exam on the 10th of May, so will have to pass on this one

Posted: **16:04 Fri 15 Apr 2022**

Nobody has yet committed. The date could be moved. Suggest!

Posted: **17:42 Fri 15 Apr 2022**

Can’t do that week but could the following. Like the proposed theme!

Tue 10^th May 2022 works for me. Others?

Posted: **19:44 Fri 15 Apr 2022**

Am in Guernsey.

Both 3^rd and 10^th?

Posted: **19:49 Fri 15 Apr 2022**

We have tastings on 24 April, 17 May and 24 May. I also have a tasting on 25 April.

A change of date from 3 May to 10 May still makes it unlikely I will be able to attend!

Posted: **21:32 Fri 15 Apr 2022**

It’s a good theme. Help me find a date.

Posted: **20:14 Sat 16 Apr 2022**

It's a great theme which I would love to take part in.

Probably not what you were hoping for - but how about September 7 or 8?

Posted: **20:22 Sat 16 Apr 2022**

Sep 7th would be good - I'm getting married on 8th or 9th so should probably avoid booking a TPF tasting for those dates - party on 10th though - I am trying to negotiate a pork pie and port bar.

Posted: **21:06 Sat 16 Apr 2022**

Well congratulations!

A Crusted Port tasting might be an excellent alternative to a stag night - but might it perhaps be better on the 6th rather than the 7th?

Posted: **21:37 Sat 16 Apr 2022**

How about the morning of Thursday 8^th September?

Posted: **17:22 Tue 19 Apr 2022**

Crusted - yes please. September is good.

Posted: **17:33 Tue 19 Apr 2022**

Would be interested depending on the date. Will confirm once more details have been set.

Posted: **17:50 Tue 19 Apr 2022**

20, 21, 27 Sep would all suit me for date - but I have very little crusted so don't work around me.

Posted: **18:34 Tue 19 Apr 2022**

i would be interested - have a few crusted somewhere.

Posted: **19:19 Tue 19 Apr 2022**

YEs I would be interested in this

Posted: **21:03 Tue 19 Apr 2022**

yes please - great theme

Posted: **20:25 Wed 20 Apr 2022**

Yes please, I have a few.

Any of those dates would work for me.

And George, please allow me the privilege of offering you a bottle to adopt if you don't want to use any of your limited supply. (I didn't realise just how much Crusted I have and how much storage space it is taking up!)

Tuesday 20^th September 2022: any objections?

Not from me

Thumbs up from me

Posted: **10:53 Fri 22 Apr 2022**

Sounds good - count me in! Thx.

Posted: **14:30 Fri 22 Apr 2022**

Works for me also.

Posted: **16:18 Fri 22 Apr 2022**

I’d like to get involved in this if space is available. 20th would work.

Date chosen. Booking made. We are a dozen — there remain two seats.

Posted: **11:13 Sat 23 Apr 2022**

Yes please

Posted: **06:57 Wed 31 Aug 2022**

Please could people confirm attendance.

Posted: **07:15 Wed 31 Aug 2022**

I am afraid I will need to drop out of this one. We have had to open up some closed days in the more seasonal
Months for the B&B to keep the lights on

Posted: **07:17 Wed 31 Aug 2022**

re confirming - looking forward to this

Posted: **22:53 Wed 31 Aug 2022**

Reconfirming

Posted: **08:00 Thu 01 Sep 2022**

Apologies, but I failed to put this one in the diary somehow, so this is looking unlikely for me currently.
Therefore, if you have another wanting a spot please drop me; otherwise if there is still a spot I may try to attend last-minute if possible.

Posted: **11:21 Thu 01 Sep 2022**

95% yes for me.

Posted: **12:20 Thu 01 Sep 2022**

Reconfirming. I still have no crusted port to hand though. Alex, your historic offer to enable me to adopt, if still good, gratefully accepted.

The offer is still good. We can work something out.

Posted: **15:18 Fri 02 Sep 2022**

Yes please.

Posted: **18:48 Fri 02 Sep 2022**

Reconfirming.

Posted: **14:28 Sat 03 Sep 2022**

Small change of plan. There’s been some de-blinding, by people who hadn’t noticed that it was blind. So now it isn’t: we are sighted.

Please reveal.

Posted: **15:32 Sat 03 Sep 2022**

Yes - still good for this

Posted: **15:34 Sat 03 Sep 2022**

Were I to make it, albeit unlikely, it would be with a bottle of Noval '62 crusted - bottled 1965, so arguably should be called '65 crusted, but that's not what the label says.

Posted: **17:25 Sat 03 Sep 2022**

I will be adopting from Alex a Graham bot. 2002, and will also bring one of Wine Society bot. 2013 | Graham bot. 2013.

Posted: **17:27 Sat 03 Sep 2022**

Hi guys,
Sorry, won’t be able to make this one as will be away…
Hope to catch up soon!
Have fun!

I am intending bringing a T64. Also noticed that I have finally joined the "1000 club'-only taken me near enough 10 years!

Regrettably Mrs Read is off travelling that week now so I am unable to make an evening in London.
