This post to hold details when they are known.
Re: A tasting with proper decanters
One of our number is building a database of pictures of bottles and such like. In seeking materials for him, I have revisited old pictures.
From a tasting that happened before I met you splendid folks:
Please could we have a tasting with proper decanters. They give me the sensation, perhaps the self-delusion, of being a quality consumer of quality, rather than being aspirant trade. Please could we have a tasting with proper decanters.
Date, theme, etc, as yet unspecified. Such a tasting would have to be capped at ten people.

Perhaps we could just recreate that tasting? Looks like a good theme....

Re: A tasting with proper decanters
I'm not sure when this photo was taken but many of those ports were tasted as part of my first 'proper' tasting with TPF - the Cockburn vertical in October 2008 (I think). If the plan is to revisit that...

Re: A tasting with proper decanters
I am more than likely to be "in".
So that's JDAW, DRT plus perhaps eight others? (more than ten and decanters don't really work)

Subject to time, date and theme, I am in.
Of course, we usually have our Christmas offline drinking from proper decanters - we just don't know what to write on the decanter labels until after we open the bottles!
