I have a WC82 if required.

Food order for me please:
Duck liver pâté
sirloin steak - rare with a fried egg
fries
green beans and shallots

JDAW - up for sharing a larger cut of beef should something be on offer

Yes please.

I’ve got TH47 which colour is ok but it’s mid shoulder. Happy to add it in, or equally happy not to if someone has a better bottle they’re able to offer.

Oh OK then.

Yes please. Will find something...

Edit: Sandeman LBV

Count me in. Have one bottle of the ‘77. Not much else. Thanks!

As pointed out in the TPF Port Deals WhatsApp (which you can join using https://chat.whatsapp.com/KJD2UqySzxdGQ07WGsBIer ) Graham's Crusted (likely 2013) for £10 a bottle if you're happy to wait. Thanks Michael for the deal. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Grahams-Crusted-Port-Carton-Wine/dp/B01H0H0ULY/re...

Hi Tom, away week of 15-19th, but 23rd or 25th look OK.

I'll likely get to the B&F for 1845-ish

Alas team I must apologise, due to logistical difficulties I can not provide the Cr77 Magnum. As a replacement I can offer a magnum of F77 if that is acceptable to the team? If so I will split this 3 ways given we are 8 1 decanted with nothing other than a funnel 2 decanted through new muslin 3 dec...

Please:

Duck liver pâté
Sirloin rare with a fried egg
Fries
Green beans and shallots

Many thanks.

I'll be getting there closer to 1830 tonight.

Horrible line-up.

Food order please:

Duck liver pâté
Sirloin steak - rare with a fried egg
Green beans and shallots
Fries

Many thanks!

Cr70 retrieved and found to be a leaker, just below top shoulder fill. Not convinced by nose and quick QC sample. W70 decanted, as a bonus.

Should get there for 1815.

I'm talking to Zak about having 2 (or more) machines running tomorrow night. The tentative plan is that Zak can broadcast via YouTube but we can have people joining remotely on a Teams / Zoom / WhatsApp / Other link with one per person per PC around the table. That should give both a clear view of ...

Many thanks Zac. For me:

Duck liver pâté
sirloin steak - rare with a fried egg
Fries
Green beans and shallots

And a Croft '70 will be appearing.

Count me in, please.

19/12/22 - four of us for lunch and then dinner at Hawksmoor, Air Street. A selection of wines that was possibly slightly indulgent...

Rather disappointing, my local cheese shop was closed today so my planned cheese hasn’t happened

If desired, I’ll happily return the sample bottles when I next see the person lending them.

Will do.

I've never computed pointless stats. If I did, I would need to get up to date with tasting notes...

I will start getting the usual food order together tomorrow unless anyone has an issue: Smoked salmon 14oz fillet steak + chips Vanilla ice cream and gravy Stollen slices A selection of British cheeses + biscuits Wonderful - thanks Tom. I'll bring one or two extra cheeses as usual. And some cash to...

Food order for me please:
Scotch Burford egg
Cote de Boeuf shared with JDAW (show it an unlit match, then serve)
Buttered Autumn greens
Triple chips (or fries if on offer)
Plum crumble

Maybe we need a section dedicated to Auction houses and problems and praises connected to them. When I started buying Port at auction, in the late 1980's, buyers commission was typically 8% in Ireland and vendors paid 10%. Nowadays it's common to pay up to 29% as a buyer and vendors up to 25%. Auct...
