Sorry to hear you won't be there Julian, hopefully next time.
I will try to be there between 6-6.30 tonight, if my course finishes on time.
See you all tonight!

Re: TBH London 8 January
Good, 8th it is. Thanks Alex for booking TBH. I have no preference for blind or sighted, both are fine with me.
I will try to find a nice bottle when in London, as I have exactly 1 bottle of Port left here in Oman, and that needs to be drunk together with LadyR.

TBH London 8 January
I will be in London again from 6 to 10 January and would love to see old (and new) friends and share a glass. Probably only just a relaxed get together, could even be with some beers and wines.
Let me know any preferred dates and I'll try to pick a day that works for everyone.

Re: 1991 Quinta de Roriz
I can assure you that in this case the sommeliere was right. This never was and never will be a very good port, no matter how freshly opened the bottle is.

Re: Port for sale by retailer
Does anyone have an opinion on Fonseca Guimaraens / Panascal 96? http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/08/y5ujajan.jpg Does anyone have an opinion on them at these prices? At that price, it is difficult to go wrong. Buy a case of both, and enjoy over the mid-term, or if you only want to buy one of the tw...

Re: Taylor Single Harvest Tawny 1964
In the fullness of time it might prove interesting to note that on this day Wiese & Krohn 1964 Colhieta Branco is available at £49.99 and the 1966 standard Colhieta at £69.99. I suspect the "Taylor" 1964 will be closer to £200. Well that's pertinent for sure.. Is the branding of this ...

The world is facing a wine shortage, with global consumer demand already significantly outstripping supply, a report has warned. The research by America's Morgan Stanley financial services giant says demand for wine "exceeded supply by 300m cases in 2012". As it happens, I am currently wr...

Re: The Helix Cork
Seems to me that this is Amorim's attempt to compete with screwcap, but in my view that battle is already lost. There is general acceptance of screwcap, even for premium wines, so I think it will be very difficult for the cork industry to win back that lost ground. If they had introduced this produc...

Re: Tropical Port Storage
Having lived in tropical conditions for the past 5 years, my experience is that a wine fridge is the best option to keep your bottles at your preferred temperature. We have to deal with power outages from time to time, and temperatures in the house can creep up to very unpleasant levels when this ha...
