The Ides of March Offline, 2011

Post by DRT »

AHB and I have had a tradition of meeting at El Vinos on Fleet Street on the Ides of March every year since 2011.

Tuesday of next week sees the next event in this long-established tradition.

Festivities commence at 18:30 and others are welcome to join in. If you wish to do so, please bring a bottle of Vintage Port (pre-decanted would be ideal), some port glasses (EV don't have the best) and around £50 to pay for sundries.

Is that their renowned (at least on this site I seem to recall) chips?!

Partly, but also partly for their very special chip sauce.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

It seems that no-one is volunteering to help Derek and I tomorrow night. If anyone changes their mind at the last minute, we should be there from a little after 5pm.
