Re: Happy Portday
Well, I was born in 1984, and even though I'm from a Port producing family, I'm sure I wasn't drinking it *that* early!

No, never.
I must say I find the label quite interesting.

Got 6 x 1992 Warre Otima Colheita, directly from SFE. Bottled in 2022.
Immediately opened one. This is a very good colheita. At €23 per bottle (50cL) it turned out to be a bit of a bargain.

If you're attending the BFT, I'll take some cloth! Already ran out, so this is as good a place as any.

I'll be in London between the 21st and the 24th. I'm attending the BFT, but other than that I'm free.

Good god.

I'm having a hard time imagining what a revolting tosta mista even looks/tastes like.
But yes, avoid Terreiro do Paço/Praça do Comércio (except for sightseeing).

I sent them to Alex via WhatsApp (forgot I said I'd post them here), but I can retrieve them and post here if it's useful to more people.

Re: 1957 Graham
Not in the bible? Outrageous.
Just checked. There's a 1957 Graham's Malvedos, but not a general Graham's. 3rd edition needed!

Re: Mould under foil/on top of cork
