Re: Thursday 5th December - Online/Virtual Tasting
Thank you Neil, that was great evening. It would be really good to make this a 6-monthly or quarterly event in the TPF calendar.

Re: Port for sale by retailer
By WhatsApp (you know who you are you irritating people - I was hoping to keep all the orders in one place so I don’t risk losing any), I have had requests for a further 5 boxes.

Re: Apostrophe crimes
Portuguese doesn't use them either. Well, almost doesn't. There are some niche uses. Perhaps a lot more when spoken than when written? Such as “….de ir”, which is only ever spoken as “…d’ir”. Caused me lots of confusion at first. But no more confusion than the usual Portuguese practice of only sayi...

Re: 12 December 2024 - The TPF Xmas Tasting
I’m about to (attempt to) book a return taxi between Saffron Walden and Newport.
I’m booking for me, Mike and Ian. Anyone else need to travel with us?

Rob - I love the theme, but I need to ask two points of clarification before I start my 12 weeks of detailed planning to decide which bottle to select and bring. Niche interest is defined as "fully mature and <3 tasting notes on the database". (1) Are you happy to leave the attendee to sel...

Re: It's nearly 1st of December!
Portious breakfast is an admirable concept but, alas (i) incompatible with advising on the minutiae of legislation and (ii) I won’t get my refills until 25 December. [I should have requested them as a thanksgiving present, will try to remember/ swing that for next year…] I am quite fortunate in tha...

I have been incredibly disorganised about inviting an industry guest, so we'll drop the idea for 2024.
Alex M - are you confirming that you are able to attend?
