Tuesday 22nd February, TCP - The Half Bottle Offline
Posted: 23:49 Tue 22 Feb 2011
Another terrific evening at The Crusting Pipe, where we were well looked after and the 10oz Ribeye On-the-bone Special was absolutely delicious. Thank you to those who turned up for the great company; and the variety of wines we tasted was quite something - from a 2010 cask sample to a 1927 vintage port. Having the half bottles meant that a small group of us tasted quite a large range of ports.
The port that impressed me most was the 1991 De La Rosa - not something that I would have predicted if someone had told me the line-up would include Cavadinha 1992, De La Rosa 1991, Madalena 1988, Martinez 1985, Quarles Harris 1980, Graham 1977, Roeda 1967 and Sandeman 1927!
Thanks to all who turned up and to any who read these posts but haven't had the courage to post - please remember that we are a friendly group and you are welcome to come along and join us at our next offline.
