Re: Rio Tua

Back in around 2003 I took the train line up the Tua valley to Mirandela. The train line is now shut - from what I remember there were some abandoned vines ( moratoria) but it was very desolute, there was the occasional village and I remember there were winches with cages for people to get across th...

Re: Wanted Thread

Hi Jacob
What a great idea!
I am interested in buying ports which were bottled by Paton and Co who used to bottle in Peterborough.
They do occasionally come up for auction.
Many thanks

Re: 15 July 2010 - Blind Tasting of 1970 vintage port

Hi Alex

Looks like I will be able to get to this tasting after all , sadly though not till around 9pm. On the positive side if OK will provide a magnum, lucky it is a Thursday night.

Very much looking forward to it, the 1970 vintage is in my view the one you cannot have enough of!
