I broadly agree with Alan as long as it's a two way thing I think there will be no problem.I thought the posting of the harvest tour was a bit of an advert which would cause eruptions if done vice versa.For example if we all organised a trip to the Douro would the ftlop let us post our trip to anyon...

I went for the Royal Oporto.

I'll confirm I can attend if someone drops out.I'll bring along if wanted Cockburns 1896 beleived and the 75.The 1896 is low level.

I do not not snore normally but do so after a large intake of wine or port.

I've had a couple mostly from auctions in europe.the last one bought was a 1939 father in laws birth year I paid £35.I was a bit worse for wear on a 1941 I drank previously But from what I remember It was different a bit like a very old past it vintage port tawny in colour.

Derek two of the bottles we had that night were Burmester 1900 colheita and the 1917. The Burmester was a typical colheita but the 1917 was extremely light I'm no expert in this field but I beleive both were bottled quite close in years but the contrast was quite extreme.Does this mean that Niepoort...

I can say that Derek and I shared a 1917 garrafeira at my home since this thread started.

Put me on first reserve please Alex.I can bring any of the port I have mentioned plus an unknown 1908 if desired.

Well I'm preparing myself for the north east derby.I'm in two minds port or wine.Port if it gets exciting will be drunk rapid style and I'll be tempted to open another so wine might be a safer bet.

I'm afraid being midweek I can't confirm my attendance.Cockburn I have are 1896?,1960,63,67,70,75,97and I'm nearly sure I have 83.

Seems pricey to me but to be honest I don't know the price structure in the states for older bottles.

I have very little experiance on this part of vintage port.Apart from the Symingtons and the other big hitters,Which is your top three of the smaller not so well known Quinta's that are consistently making good port.

I also enjoyed this port two or three years ago although mine had good colour and what I remember this was very subtle.

I should have gave mine quite a bit longer time in the decanter.

I have a vargellas 69 but I have only one bottle.

That album is a blast from the past.

Was that pre Hampden park.

Hooper being Royal oporto made a lot of colheita's from the war years.

I've had a few messias wines which are priced at between £4 and £10 pounds retail but I don't know if I've had that paticular one they seem to concentrate more on wine than port.

Although I had some mixed cases of wine and a wine cooler plus a surgical cork removal kit the most interesting to me was a book called the wine behind the label Michael Broadbent is ok if you buy first growths on a regular basis but my funds don't stretch that far.This book surprised me the vinyard...

Does anyone know how to send a case of wine or port from Portugal to the UK while your in Portugal and how much it will cost.I've looked at UK sites and it is quite expensive to do it from here.My workmate Peter is off to visit his sister in Gaia in May and wants to send some olive oil and wine back...

That was quite interesting Tom

Quite a bit still there but just over the hill

I'm afraid I'm out as I'm off on holiday a couple of day's after
