Re: Quinta de la Rosa LBV and Vintage POSTPONED

On the plus side I might have my second jab by then so will join the waiting list. Not sure of the rules but does the fact I gave up my place voluntarily put me up the queue; over to Julian and Derek.

Re: 2011 Horizontal - London, Sunday 23rd April 2051

Julian, not wishing to sart an argument with you regarding non attendance of offspring but you're being a bit hasty. Wouldn't it be good idea to have someone to catch the dribbles and generally keep an eye on us (medical training not obligatory but a definite plus)? I'm also a bit worried about thos...

Re: Quinta de la Rosa LBV and Vintage Thursday July 8th

I would love to be there but,as it is touch and go whether I will have received my second jab, I will have to get off the fence and say no. Bump one up from the waiting list. Any chance of a live link Julian/Tony?

Alex I echo Simon’s comments. I joined a little late and when I saw the line up I reckoned Ben And Jamie would end up wheeling Johnny out in a wheel barrow. Learnt a lot.

Re: Latest buy

yeah it was and a bit of a challenge to find ports from the year, so when i do find them i have to try and get them.
If you are still stuck towards 2024 I bought a case of Delaforce QdCorte and I still have 9 or 10 bottles. Wouldn’t be wowing about them tbh.

Re: Latest buy

Finally after over 30 years of attending auctions a 1961 bottle came up and I got it!!!! Noval Crusted 1961 (Alex tells me it is a sort of vintage as it was bottled in 1964) for €240 plus commission so the most expensive Port I have ever bought...because I'm worth it.

Re: Graham’s Single Harvest Tawny Tasting with Charles Symington and VWP

[It looks like we might have to postpone a couple of weeks (or more) as there are some issues with shipments from Portugal to the UK. This has affected a lot of things and unfortunately our tasting packs are somewhere in the mix. I’m having similar problems as couriers here in Ireland are no longer...

If they extend the offer to some of their other range I’m definitely making a break for freedom!

Re: Latest buy

Alex is that the reason she opened the T70 yesterday afternoon? It might be very wise to take the hint and get yourself down to Morrison’s fast and pick up a few dozen!
