Printed. I’ll do it...

Hero!

Bottle opened and decanted at 10pm last night. Stopper put on decanter but will be removed at midday. Seems to be showing very well.

By coincidence it is the 50th anniversary of the first filtered Taylor’s LBV (The 1965 LBV released in 1970).

Coming back to the first post’s premise... The important thing is there is a place for both styles and filtering should not be banned

Tony and the team at Vintage Wine & Port are doing a fundraiser Quevedo Port tasting on the 7/8th May in support of NHS and Portuguese charities. The tasting pack is £99 for 6 x 375ml bottles for a Taste at Home tutored tasting with Oscar on YouTube Live. This is also done in association with th...

Rightly or wrongly I thought that those that filter their LBV do it so that there is a quality ‘ruby’ port available for the market that requires no decanting (and can also be described as Vintage). To a lot of people the need to decant and a lot of the other traditions around port that we like are ...

If there is an apres tasting tasting, we should arrange a warm up tasting for early birds too

Can you add Mike/Flash please. He is busy helping the NHS supply chain, but good for this tasting.

Yes please... I have 1999 and the popular 2001

Below is a list of documentaries and films based around wine that I have come across. As people might have time on the hands, other than Mike and those others saving us in this strange times, I recommend SommTV.com where you can register for a free 7day trial or and or subscribe for about £9 month (...

He also announced that Churchill's will be introducing a 40 year old blend next year, when Churchill celebrate their 40th anniversary. Does that mean they have bought In some older tawny to help produce an average age of 40YO? If so I wonder who/where provided that. Either way, I am sure it will be...

Yes please.

In the last week a bottle of Penfold's Bin 707 1996 and compared that against a bottle of Penfold's Bin 707 1997 - a very interesting comparison. Both were fabulous but the 1996 was richer, sweeter and more rounded while the 1997 was a little more austere and had a much bigger tannic structure. The...

So there is the scoring sheet. Congrats to Alex for a high scoring 11 points. Charles’ T85 was unsurprisingly had the most correct guesses and there was a couple of bottles that didn’t get any correct guesses. A great spread of different ports and more than a few that I wish I had had the opportunit...

Well done on arrangements again Mike. I am already looking forward to the next one. As a returning officer who was blessed by a whole bottle including the angel’s share... combined with 15 people on Zoom chaos... all means i just need to find out (anyone?) what Andy’s bottle was and then I can total...

Can I check what time we are starting today? Mike's invite suggests 18:00. I will struggle with that. Was assuming 1930. My assumption too Mike's zoom invite is for 19:00, so I was assuming then. Seems likely people may come & go? I must confess I didn’t check but assumed (wrongly) that it was ...

Was assuming 1930.

My assumption too

Spotted this... https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2020/04/snow-hits-portugals-douro-during-spring/ Oscar Quevedo also posted a picture of snow covered vineyards to the Portlovers at Naked Wines. Is this a coordinated April Fool with TFP or just a chilly Douro! Oscar said the snow and frost were of ...

Could I please request a correction on the paperwork to me being SCD, rather than SDC. Thank you, SD...C

Would love to join on the 7th April too. Will look forward to seeing everyone again.

a wonderful evening and a very welcome respite from these strange times. Great to meet George, and also briefly Joao. As Mike says, there was far more time talking with each other than concentrating on the ports. The varied a wide range of topics was most entertaining, and by no means was dominated ...

7.30 all good for me too.

I think my travel plans will allow me to join this tasting if there is room? Any particular theme or just something you want to enjoy at home? Best wishes to all and I hope you and your families stay safe and healthy.
