Re: Replacement labels

I think that would be prudent.
I have now started tagging my purchases with more detail and I might eventually get to a label of sorts which is my design and has the information I want on the bottle on it but there could be no confusion

Tom my guest has dropped out so there is a free place I will put you down for if you are still free.
Ben you are on the reserve list at the moment.
Admin needs to step up a gear here- that is me!

Re: Quinta do Noval Olive Oil

I think Douro olive oil is going to totally take off and there will be a large increase in production over the years to come.

As I have said before I think a table of olive oils at trade shows would be great. I have seen them sold in wine shops so a natural move!

I think it makes sense for everyone to declare what they bring so we get a good selection and avoid me doing the usual of guessing it’s a different port when it is the same. By being semi blind we avoid label bias and I think makes it a bit more fun. It wo...

Tue 11 Jun 2019 — 1994 Mini Horizontal

The 1994’s reach their quarter century this year, I think that is reason enough to see how they are getting on. I also think they are rather good value so a good opportunity to see which ones to look out for. I am not sure this needs to be a big tasting depending on how much interest there is I was ...
