A date has been set, we will convene on 24th April 2019 to taste, discuss and debate as many 2017 Vintage Ports as producers are willing to provide.

Is that date correct?

Rich - remind one of us to talk to you about Skeffington in your quest for "bargain" Vintage Ports. And about Tesco / M&S / Sainsbury own label Vintage Ports. And about proper LBV Ports. All of these offer exceptional value for money for a tiny (perhaps indeterminable) reduction in quality.

See you in June.

The 2016 version of this was a wonderful tasting and I am gutted to no be able to compare with the 2017s, particularly with the back to back nature of the vintage declarations. But, I am delighted because we finally managed to exchange on our B&B purchase so I am completing this Thursday and welcome our first guests on Friday with all six rooms booked for 3 nights. In at the deep end, but just so glad to be swimming at all after the torturous process in getting to here. I hope it is a night of fine juice and look forward to reading the notes.
