Medium rare steak please, with fries and peppercorn sauce.

I presume I am adopting a bottle of port from someone....

I have made arrangements to ensure the children will not be abandoned if I get lucky.....

I'd love to join but can't provide any of those specific ports. I can certainly rustle up a bottle that would be befitting of its company though!

Regret am in Guernsey on business on 11 May. The glamour! I’ve had some great trips to Guernsey. Hopefully more to come. I was on the last ever BA flight to leave Guernsey in about 2008 or something. Pilot got permission to do a low level fly past over the airport to say goodbye and we all got serv...

I should be ok for the new date but I won’t know for certain until nearer the time as I am reliant on Mrs Read not being in Barcelona, which she has been warned might be required at some stage in April or May. Assume yes - she understands the benefits to my mental well-being! Sent from my iPhone usi...

Just the 6 standard bottles please.

Done. Thank you.

If it gets as far as me I’m free on 1st March!

A ‘soon to expire’ TAP travel voucher is taking the whole family to Lisbon for a few days in early April. (Porto was vetoed!) Any advice on family friendly (boys aged 13 & 11) things to do or places to eat. Bonus point if it is somewhere that will also satiate my thirst for port! Sent from my iP...

I've kept the seal and will bring it along.

BBR 2003 (Quinta de la Rosa) now fully decanted according to some very specific instructions from AHB. Apparently the "Audouze" method of which I have never previously heard. 9pm Tuesday - corked pulled and gently reinserted loosely. Bottle left undisturbed in cellar. 8am Wednesday - bottl...

16th not an option for me I am afraid. Have fun.

Your oddments are of great interest to a child of 1970, but unfortunately I don't think I can join you. If you need to reduce your cellar any more of such oddments, do let me know!

Thank you for joining us here ‘Whoosh’. Having checked offline I can declare that I know Whoosh and directed him here. We’re yet to share a glass of port together, unless he was fortunate to be around when I opened the odd Dow 1960 back in the early to mid 1990s when we shared a house for a few year...

I would be interested in 6 bottles please. Thank you.

I am in need of adopting (unless my 2003 becomes desirable). Does anyone have a bottle still available for adoption please? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro I didn’t know that you had the 03 available Ben (did you previously confirm?). In which case I will allocate you it and will update the ...

I'm unlikely to make a dinner afterwards as it looks like Nuala might be away that week and my mother is not one for late nights babysitting!

Thank you. That’s ok for me.

I’d be interested if a space becomes available. I have a single bottle of Ch. 85 and quite a few port club bottlings.

Alex, I feel very much the same as Simon & Rich. I have been expecting this to be postponed for the last week or so - it comes as no real surprise and you have done the right thing in asking Oscar not to travel. So close to Christmas, the last thing any of us want is for someone else to have the...

Alex, could I order the mushroom soup, sirloin & cheese please. Thanks, Ben.

Just checked. I have 1997 and 2003 only. Both easily accessible.

Thank you and yes. Confirmed.

I have one suggestion - it relates to what might be considered the home page when using a web browser rather than the App. I expect a click on any website logo to take me 'home'. With TPF, it takes me to 'Unread posts' rather than http://www.theportforum.com/index.php. Is that intended? Am I the onl...
