My flights are now booked and bottles will be winging their way to Belfast later today.

DRT’s package includes, or at least should include, a bottle for me.

"confirmed" meaning they are in your hands?

The slip on my doorstep, when I got in about an hour ago, said that they are at the post office around the corner. Update follows first thing tomorrow.

Ah but we're not on the mainland sir. That'll be extra. And it won't be guaranteed. Except to go missing...

Sadly chaps, I will be absent. As sometimes happens with parcels being sent through a network, instead of being delivered to Belfast it appears that I will be delivered to Amsterdam instead.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

Same here. Although I am presently in Kerry enjoying lots of Port with my parents, I have to be in the Rheingau for the Rheingau Open this day, a famous wine presentation of all VDP Wines at Schloss Johannisburg. We are visiting Robert Weil and then continue for the event.
