Re: Possible hacking of site
Thanks for the warning. If you are happy to reply privately by PM to let me know what the other two sites are (once you've changed your passwords on them of course) I'll see whether I can identify which was breached, if it is long enough ago to determine.

Re: Pre-Christmas Virtual Get Together - 15 Dec
I decided to open an unknown. I've tonged the top off the bottle and now it's Audouzing gently in the cellar. I'll push the cork out this evening. Following Alex's initiative, I decided to follow his example as I have an unknown "believed 63" with destroyed (black) capsule and unreadable label (tho...

Re: Nickolls and Perks - Graham’s 200th Anniversary Virtual tasting 2nd December 2020
Hi Guys, could the participants of this tasting with some experience of the wines tell me how the 85 and 70 were from the smaller bottles? Hi Axel, I did also wonder how the wines - particularly the '70 - would hold up to being decanted at least 48hrs ahead; I needn't have worried. The G70 (which I...

Re: Port House abbreviations
My opinion is that the need for an abbreviation should arise from the winemaker’s intention to make a distinction between winemaking philosophies. Thus the winemaker clearly intends Croft Vintage Port to be viewed as distinct and different from Croft Quinta da Roeda Vintage Port; or Fonseca to be v...

Re: Graham''s 1966 vintage port
Hi Brian; could you give us an idea of your rough location? Also it would be helpful to know the level of the wine in the bottle (i.e. with bottles stood upright, is the level of the wine above or below the join of the main bottle body and the neck, and by roughly how much. Cheers (and welcome to TP...

Re: Port for sale by retailer
My notes indicate that when I was at the Yeatman in 2011 the price for a 50ml pour of Scion was EUR 100. In 2015 it was still available in the Taylor's lodge next to the Yeatman, I *think* for the same price, possibly slightly more. And while we're on the topic, you can currently buy a glass of the...

Re: Wine-Searcher.com Photos
I agree it's definitely your image, cropped. It hasn't come from the VPID because it's still in my (long overdue) update, so it can only have come from TPF assuming you didn't post it anywhere else. I don't know who/how images are loaded onto/by wine-searcher. I suspect someone who owns a bottle or ...

Re: Favourite corkscrews
I find the Durand to work extremely well on (generally older) fragile corks where identification is not an issue. For unknowns I prefer to use tongs where possible, otherwise using other corkscrews rather than pushing in, since the external face of the cork is not always clean.
