Note change of venue:

We are now booked in at the Tappit Hen - Davy's newest venue - 21-23 St Swithin's Ln, London EC4N 8AD

Is in easy walking distance of both Bank and Cannon St stations

A word of warning: The Tappit Hen does not have steaks on its menu. If you want steak it must be pre-ordered.

That makes 70 so far I think... does anybody know the vintage with the most declared. I am sure THE BOOK would help in answering this... The book won't answer this question. The last fully researched vintage is 1986. The explosion of new producers/shippers didn't begin to happen until it became leg...

we are working our way through it at a rate of about 3 bottles a year

You might need this soon: Wine Searcher

Bravo to the NYC collective!

Now declare an emergency and organise a tasting!!!!

Well done!

Monkey won with 5 points!

DRT second with a shameful 4.5 points

Hi, and welcome to the forum. It's not often that we have people who describe themselves as "new to port" and who have also thrown themselves headlong down the slippery slope before getting here :lol: All is not lost - you have done nothing wrong and the bottles you have bought are all likely to tur...

Did I send it to the correct address?

If it didn’t bounce, yes.

You are not being helpful. I Cc'd you. Did I send it to the email address you normally use?

Did I send it to the correct address?

Julian, has the order been sent?

Dow 1970 is fabulous Port.

I strongly recommend continuing to slowly drink your way through the case with your father. It will last two decades or more if is has been properly stored.

Julian, can you please submit the food order tomorrow?

Now easier than from work. Or you could.

Send now or tell me who to send to tomorrow.

Would seven bottles between five be too much for a school night? Should the magnum be saved for another day? Taking your point on numbers I will bring just one bottle if that helps. Both of these reductions seem to have been implemented (which is fine), but only one is reflected on the placemats. T...

A small error on the food order - Simon is after pate rather than crab.

Thanks. Updated.

Julian, can you please submit the food order tomorrow?

Mike's permission has been assumed granted.

Food order and first post updated.

The food order can be downloaded from the first port. Please check.

A "Simon P." existed in a previous order so I have left those choices in. If not the same Simon P or different choices wanted please say here.

Answering the request for volunteers. New to TPF and would very much like to attend. Can bring two bottles ..one for enjoyment (hopefully) and one to confuse (well it does me). If two bottles creates an issue for the placemat software or methodology then will restrict myself to just the one...... Y...

Semantics. Yes it’s a VP, so it has to follow those rules. To be called a “Quinta...” it has to adhere to more rules. For example, Quinta do Noval VP and Noval Silval VP can be declared in the same year. One is technically a VP from a single Quinta and one isn’t. They adhere to similar but also dif...

To be accurate, most VP's don't come from just one Quinta. Even "SQVP's", by law, can have a small amount from other Quinta's and still be called a SQVP. Are there rules for SQVP? I thought that SQVP is not at all regulated by the law nor IVDP? Legally it is a Vintage Port, everything else is just ...

I’m already on the list, but confirming same.

May I invite a guest, Dave A., who is the husband of a friend of the wife? And I’ll bring a magnum.

Of course Dave A. is welcome.

Do we get two guesses at the Magnum?

An emergency has been declared... When: Tuesday 13th November 2018 @ 18:30 Where: The Green Room at The Boot & Flogger , 10-20 Redcross Way, London SE1 1TA, tel +44 20 7407 1184 ( streetmap.co.uk , bing , maps.google.co.uk ) Theme: Bring a bottle of Port to serve blind.

First post update to add Gerwin to the reserve list and re-confirm interest from Tom and Glenn. I am not updating the list of ports as their availability will very much depend on who the 14 brave survivors are when we get to 2051. Perhaps those who have promised bottles could consider bequeathing th...

Re-confirms from JDAW ; DJ ; ADV ; DRT . Hoping to move from reserve list to main list: MPM . By private message one person has requested removal. Could we add the fact that it is a Sunday to the title? Have we booked a room at the B&F? Hopefully we will be able to get the Red Room — but I'm not su...

I saw a bottle of this for sale in John Lewis on Saturday. It came in a polished copper wire bottle cradle shaped like a reindeer. I thought it was rather cute; my better half thought it tacky. I was not allowed to buy it.

I agree with your better half.
