Re: 1994s, Tue 26 Mar 2024

Ck and Tesco corks pulled at c9pm last night and decanted this morning at 6.15. No problem with the Ck cork, but yes, the Tesco cork disintegrated!

Re: 1994s, Tue 26 Mar 2024

Would anyone object if I brought a Tesco 94 as an additional bottle, which I came across at the same time as locating the Ck94?

Can’t help but being underwhelmed by the current crop of B&F starters and so:

Welsh Rarebit
Steak (M/R) and fries with peppercorn sauce and carrots
Dessert TBD on the night

Thanks

Re: Aged LBVs - Tue 5 March 2024 @ B&F - ALIVE AGAIN!

Regrettably, I will now have to excuse myself from this tasting, since my wife is away on business and therefore I am in the chair when it comes to childcare responsibilities. Enjoy!

Re: Quinta do Vesuvio in February 2024 - 6th Feb

Given formal confirmation has been received that the truffle Mac and cheese has been removed from the menu, I will have Welsh Rarebit, followed by steak (m-r) and fries with green beans and the brownie for dessert.
Thanks

Re: Thu 28 Dec 2023: Bring A Bottle Or Two

All being well with the intended train I should be with you about 5pm. Like Tony, I might have to be strict with time of leaving given the frequency of the trains this evening.

Sounds like Cliff and Julian will have shared 6 bottles of Port before the rest of us arrive! For my own part, my eta will be about 5.30pm currently and I will be accompanied by a bottle of fortified wine.

Re: 2013 Declarations

Looking down the list, I think Bomfim and Madalena need to be added.
