Re: Muslin cloth

Everyone was a bit tired from the event, but I think good times were had by all. The theme was "things we brought from the BFT".

Re: Muslin cloth

Well, Mike, you couldn't come to the B&F, but at least you enjoyed an emphatic win!

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!

Re: Latest buy

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’m not usually good company that close to the BFT. It gets pretty all-consuming for the week when it’s on.

Sorry.
More than reasonable, it's a big event!

Re: Lisbon

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).

Bumping this as I should be going to Lisbon end of April.
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.

Not in the bible? Outrageous.

Just checked. There's a 1957 Graham's Malvedos, but not a general Graham's. 3rd edition needed!
