When does a taste become an interest?
When does an interest become a hobby?
When does a hobby become a collection?

Re: Latest buy
1 x Calem 40 year old tawny at auction (will make a nice gift to give someone). 11 x Bomfim 2013 at Asda for £22 each (will make a nice mention in my will as I don’t think I’ll live long enough to drink it). Thanks for the tip, indulged in half a dozen myself. As for leaving it in your will, tish p...

Re: Latest buy
Andy, that’s a fantastic price (fully paid up, probably less than release price, I think) for a great port, arguably one of the two stars of the vintage, and starting to drink beautifully now. Indeed, admit I was a little surprised at the lack of bids, 100 per 4 was below the reserve but there have...

Re: Latest buy
Bottle looks like mid to late 1950’s to early 60’s, perhaps. Label appears to say …many years in cask. But no reference to actual age or year. However a good chunk of label is missing.

Can only speak from a personal preference but the Grahams 85 is one of my all time favourites, just beautiful.
