Re: Port cocktails
Leafing through the ”J Sheekey Fish” cookery book, I came across the below cocktail recipe. Moderators: if the picture breaches copyright rules then please delete. I would love for some of our budding mixologists (God I hate that word) to make it and report back, including a picture. Edit 1: can’t f...

Re: 2015 LBV options
Of limited use in a UK context perhaps but I recently picked up a few Offley LBV 2015 from a supermarket in Denmark. Alas, Wine Searcher did not yield any UK results.

1985 Fonseca
Summary: Desert island port wonderfully balanced between youth and maturity. Many points today and more in the future. Impossible to be overstocked. Longer version: Decanted Friday evening and followed over three days. Cork was clean and soaked about halfway up, no seepage or dust/mildew at the top ...

Re: The Book, ‘Port Vintages’, is for sale
Lux-ed received today. Execeptionally well wrapped, almost obsessively so (a good thing surely), in multiple layers of bubble wrap, zip loc bag, paper and what not. Book looks fab, sumptuous leather, gilt-edged paper - wonderful workmanship! Now sitting down to enjoy the cloth bound copy received be...

Re: Tue 17th April 2018: cellar reduction and health check

Thank you also to Alex for getting there early and starting the decanting, laying the table etc. as well as Julian for booking the room, pr...

Re: Tue 17th April 2018: cellar reduction and health check
Can I bring a F77 ? I can't think of any circumstance where the answer to that question would be no. Hi Magnus, sorry but I'm not likely to be able to join you for this (generously hosted) tasting, but hope you are well and have a good evening; Phil. Hi Phil, would have been nice to see you next we...

Hi Cornish crab please Steak medium rare - side order of green beans Can I bring a F77 ? In light of your generous offer I will quite gladly expand the theme of this tasting and thus, very gratefully, accept your F77. As Phil wrote above, It's hard to conceive of any occasion where this port would ...

My food order: crab salad followed by rib-eye + béarnaise sauce, potentially followed by a sticky toffee pudding.

Re: Tue 17th April 2018: cellar reduction and health check
I would love to come along as I am in town already that week for my WSET Level 3, and this is the best way possible of swotting up for the fortified wine module. Unfortunately, my course means that on this occasion I would not be available to help with the set up. Brilliant! I have added SCD to the...

Re: Tue 17th April 2018: cellar reduction and health check
Count me in Magnus. Difficult to know yet whether I can help with decanting, but I’ll try and protect my diary to make it possible. Also, if all the bottles are coming from the same storage then you could maybe have them shipped directly to the B&F? Great! You have been added. Good idea about shipp...

Re: Tue 17th April 2018: cellar reduction and health check
I'd be up for this as my diary appears free for this day. I wouldn't be able to help with decanting since will be coming in from Reading but hopefully, someone(s) can step in. Failing that, we could always ask the B&F-I believe they've done some decanting for us before? Excellent! Attendee list upd...
