Unless our fearless leader objects, yeah....about that.... I had been thinking, given my recent adventures on the subcontinent, that we would be using some form of local script (e.g., http://www.omniglot.com/writing/malayalam.htm) feel free to explore and revert, if this hasn't extinguished your cr...

Bern's Steakhouse is legend in the American wineo community. http://www.bernssteakhouse.com/ Owing to its eccentric owner (a man after my own heart!) their wine list is more than worth the trip and seems especially rich in mispriced port. A reasonable plan would be to arrive in Tampa for dinner on F...

Please see Off Line Planner for "Weekend at Bern's" ...

Can't commit to the date (april 21) just yet, but would love to attend.

Pencil me in?

Sorry to have been a tease, chaps. Just got off the phone with Brad, who sadly confirmed that they have sold the last bottle of this wine (which apparently the owner had bought at a Christie's auction in London 50+ years ago).

I should be here in Blighty from 15th of March to the 23rd of March. Is anyone in the UK familiar w/ Bill Murray's immortal classic (and oscar snub of the century) "What About Bob?" This would be 'baby steps' ... WS1 - As I am keen to have your company and solicit your feedback on the for...

no earlier than the 15th and no later than the 23rd (of March 2016) I will be not available around Easter Broseph, help me help you. You might remember keeping track of Easter isn't what I do best. I have given a RANGE of dates prior to your Continental escapades. Do any of them work? (and that goe...

ppps. for those that have never attended, the only wines that we have had underperformance with have been from burgundy....what do you think you might then be able to conclude about this year's event...?

Anyone interested in flying to Florida to help me complete this TN?

Reputable establishment lists this bottle for a reasonable price...

Happy remembering this event one year later.

BUT...no Quevedo!? - ::paging gman, gman to the office please::

Ordinarily this would be spot on, except of course that I would not deduct points from Wolfgang. Should he grace us with his presence, ws1 can do whatever the - he pleases

The real rules of the ‘competition’ are that Chris Doty is the King, and he will choose the winner. The other rules are that the competition has two parts. • Some points come from guessing the wines/Ports, what connects the pairs in which they are served, and the overall theme. • Further points are...

Merry Christmas to all ! I remain very grateful for the friendships and experiences only made possible through TPF, and with the introduction of Simon and others in 2015, there are no signs of slowing down. I wish everyone a safe, happy and port-tacular holiday See you kids in 2016 - the year of AMA...

Thanks to Javier of BBR for getting me an 11th hour space - ! What an excellent tasting! I thought they did a fabulous job, with a really great lineup showcasing some of the best ports from 1970 to today. If I had to curate such an event, aside from adding Quevedo, not sure I would change much at al...

Splendid evening - thanks Jdaw for marshaling - entertainment not found anywhere else - and surely not the streets of Indranagar Stage II Was fabulous to meet new young port enthusiasts - I hope the first of many similar gatherings on either side of the pond. :tpf: In terms of global vintages for gr...

lovely lovely.

My order is Tom's, but with bernaise rather than peppercorn, please.

No SW 85, sadly, but think I may have 1.5s of Dow and Graham at Seckfords if we can free them in time. please advise

::raises hand::

Flash,

groovy - the palm is solid.

I had been hoping we could do this on Thursday, Dec 17th - does that work for people?

woo woo

Different Dave! Long time no see, and I like the initiative. I expect to be in NYC for the holiday season (mid dec to early jan) and would be interested in attending should a suitable date be found. Preference would be Manhattan, but I'm open minded. Also have some friends that might be interested -...

Best 'emergency' of my life. will seek them out more often! Many thanks to RAYC and AHB for their splendid hospitality. Fresh from a successful holiday, Rob looks about 10 years younger from his dungeon days of S&M; AHB his inimitable self - this time making due with an innovative placemat. Wine...
