Re: Photographs
I see a few posts where people have struggled to upload images. I think this is due to there being an undisclosed maximum file-size which is quite small by the standards of modern digital photographs. After a lot of trial and error, I re-sample down until they are <500KB which generally works. Also...

Re: VE (etc) Day Tasting - Weds 8 Sept 2021
Have provisionally booked Lutyen's Room at 67 Pall Mall for evening of Wednesday 8th September 2021 for rearranged event.
If you were confirmed for the previous date could you please reconfirm availability and that you still have your intended offering (or replacement).

Do we still want this if also doing the following Thursday? The answer would appear to be “yes”. If so, any theme suggestions? Crusted has been suggested. Theme is Crusted.

Re: 2021 Virtual Tastings - Planner
Have updated planner and adjusted dates to take account of the VWP tastings. Do we want sessions on both 11th (as planned) and 18th (the new date for the Graham Single Harvest event)? I'll open up threads for both to gauge interest. If 11th doesn't seem to be needed/wanted then we can always cancel ...

Re: POSTPONED: Wednesday 24th February 2021 - Online Churchill tasting with the Port Forum
The two people I approached to substitute for Johnny at short notice are not able to do so. I’ll issue an invite today for TPF Zoom Tasting #4 of 2021. The theme will change to one of “Any fortified wine you want to drink.” Which works for me since I have a bottle of Blandy’s 2004 Malvasia on death...

Re: Wanted Thread
It was 400 for a case of six! In which case the Farr Vintners price is market rate. You can occasionally snag the minor 83s and 85s for 400/dozen all in at auction though. I agree. £400 retail for 6bts of F85 is pretty much the going rate. BI had some ex+Oporto stock last year at £320/6bt IB, which...

Re: Port for sale by retailer
My Asda has three less bottles of the Dow’s Crusted (but bottled 2013) and now has an empty shelf area instead. Plenty of Graham’s 2015 LBV at £14 (I think) and Cockburn 2015 LBV at £10. Have tried repeatedly to get the Cockburn LBV from Asda, but they never have it. Suspect your local Asda has the...

Re: Port for sale by retailer - Carvalhas 1917
Sent an offer this morning by Fine & Rare - Quinta das Carvalhas, 1917 Colheita.
20 bottles available at £1,325 per bottle in bond. So, a case of 12 delivered would be just over £19,100. Bargain.
If you want the full details let me know. I await a deluge of enquiries...

Re: 2021 Virtual Tasting #3 - Thursday 11th February
Vargellas 91 decanted at 1800, so should get 24 hours prior to “proper” sampling.
Quick QA check and all well.
