Thank you, Alex. I will be along later (before 2215) and will be armed with £30.

Not quite as orange in colour as Sandeman 20, but not far off the mark. A lovely colour indeed. Very nutty - hazelnuts and orange peel on the nose. Entry much more dainty than I was expecting (based on the nose), almost like a diluted marmalade mixed with lightly roasted nuts. Grip excellent, and th...

October 3rd I wanted to have a look at bottle 828A - a lone bottle of Sandeman '54 - or is it '34..? I've plenty of Sa34 but the '54 is rare and the capsule is a bit ambiguous. I wanted to have another look at the capsule to see if I could era date it. Computer said location code 06J18 - but there ...

They're working with supply chain re additional steak choices & will update soon.
More importantly though they've agreed to do Welsh rarebit.

Phew!

I think most people who do this (whether professionally or at home) take some steps to reduce the amount of oxygen that is admitted to the bottle when re-corking. This can range from just getting a spray can of something like Private Preserve (a mixture of inert gases) and spraying that into the ne...

Would anyone like to split a "2 Book" pledge with me - €30 per copy rather than €38 for a single copy? Yes, I would. OK Mike, you're on. I've done a two book pledge, you can have the second copy. Mike - the books have arrived and they look fabulous. Any idea when / if / how best to get yo...

Out of curiosity, is there a way other than seepage to determine original release versus late release of the T77? I've seen a few for sale at auction online but never noticed a difference in labeling... The Symingtons usually apply labels in the current format, resulting in quite a few styles for s...

At auction for a little over €50 per bottle.
Labels poop, levels all good and bought from original cellar.

That’s a very nice win, Justin. T77 is on top form at present.

N17 - 1 case of 6.

Yes please (though as I have a hearing on the 26th, please accept my apologies in advance if I’m a no-show).

GC00 - 1 case of 12.

Though I am in no way a football fan, after listening to India Women beat England Women in the One Day International I switched on the TV and watched the quarter final. To keep me interested despite whatever happened on the pitch I opened a bottle of Morgan 1991. While a bit rough straight out of t...

Bravo Tony et al.

Perfect - thanks.

I’ve just ordered my kit - please may I be added to the after party list?

Ck16 - 1 case of 6.

Yes please. I have a Fonseca and Graham’s available.

I wish I checked TPF more frequently! Enjoy, folks.

Only cases of 6 I’m afraid, George.

Please may I be added to the reserves list for this event, too?

4 cs of FG18 and 2 cs of CrR18.

Ditto what Jacob said (sorry for not being in touch sooner, Mike).
