Could I order the following please:
Duck liver pate
Sirloi steak (medium rare) with fries and peppercorn sauce

I am afraid I have no Cavadinha at all, so my contribution will need to be financial.

SW70 decanted at 3pm. Very happy so far!

Please may I have the truffle mac if available (soup otherwise) followed by the bangers & mash with madeira gravy. Thanks.

Now confirmed. Smith Woodhouse 1970 available. Only Sandeman is Vau 2003!

With Mrs R away this week, it might be construed as child negelct if I allowed my desires to overcome my instinct! Drink well.

Changing the subject, Vintage Wine & Port now have the Quevedo Advent calendars on sale for 2022 - at slightly discounted prices until 9th October. Regular calendar - 24 x 50ml bottles Prestige calendar - 24 x 90ml bottles For the port geeks, the contents of the prestige calendar will generate s...

Attending tastings for me remains complicated - normally! Next week, I have to be in London on Tuesday 27th September. Mrs Read does not have to be in London. Is anyone interested in a short notice 'bring a bottle to share' type gathering? I've made no enquiry about venue availability - Boot & F...

If you solve the problem, I will make myself available!

Regrettably Mrs Read is off travelling that week now so I am unable to make an evening in London.

The date works for me. I’m not sure I can assist other than financially with bottle availability.

In the end I had chilled Quinta de la Rosa tawny. It paired quite nicely. I’m still experimenting with smoking. I gave it 12 hours, of which it was wrapped for about 5. But I think I gave it too much smoke. I use charcoal with wood chips. I need to try’s different approach with the fuel and smoke. S...

If it involves tasting the GM86 v. GM87 I'm available! I still recall the debate about these two at the Malvedos vertical in 2010. I think both were (or very close to) podium finishes that night.

I’m hoping Mr Tawny May stop by here and offer some advice as he is well experienced in the matter of (competition) bbq. My question is what should I drink (port wise) with Texas style brisket? To add to the background info it’s a warm day I’m the U.K. I was thinking perhaps a slightly chilled Speci...

Ordinarily I would be very keen on this. Regrettably the date clashes with ‘New parents evening’ at our youngest child’s new school. Non attendance is not an option. And I have a 1971 magnum of LBV that would have been ideal!

Ooh yes please. Almost my birthday too!

I’d like to get involved in this if space is available. 20th would work.

10th May as a possible date.

Let me know

IO am afraid I will have to excuse myself for that date as both Mrs Reads are away - the wife and the mother! C'est la vie.

Medium rare steak please, with fries and peppercorn sauce.

I presume I am adopting a bottle of port from someone....

I have made arrangements to ensure the children will not be abandoned if I get lucky.....

I'd love to join but can't provide any of those specific ports. I can certainly rustle up a bottle that would be befitting of its company though!

Regret am in Guernsey on business on 11 May. The glamour! I’ve had some great trips to Guernsey. Hopefully more to come. I was on the last ever BA flight to leave Guernsey in about 2008 or something. Pilot got permission to do a low level fly past over the airport to say goodbye and we all got serv...

I should be ok for the new date but I won’t know for certain until nearer the time as I am reliant on Mrs Read not being in Barcelona, which she has been warned might be required at some stage in April or May. Assume yes - she understands the benefits to my mental well-being! Sent from my iPhone usi...

Just the 6 standard bottles please.

Done. Thank you.
