Hi

I have seen the term Cuvée used on old bottles of Tawny/colheita destined for the French market. I believe in this case cuvee refers to 'barrel'.

Reconfirming please

Sorry - can't make it.
Have a good evening shifting bottles...

Hi Ian
I have D85, F85, F85M, G85, W85, D83, T83, F83, W80

First post updated.

Tony - stop reading now!
So in real terms today is clearly the time to be buying 1970 vintage ports if our predictions of a price hike in 2018-2020 are correct.

Have you tried buying G70, F70 or T70 in the last 6 months? - Ouch!

Thanks Phil - I will consolidate this over the weekend.

Thank you Simon - a big loss in the calendar - especially as the mood music is positive around the 2015 vintage. Dia expressed an interest in helping which I would support. However, producers have already made commitments for the year so it is almost certainly too late. If it looks like a general de...

Hi Stefan
I am just updating the page for this - can you let me know if you still want to come to this tasting. Also what 67's do you have to offer ?

Two points - - there is a lot of consolidation in the wine industry at the moment. This has resulted in a lot of 2000, 2003 coming onto the market as the companies minimise stocks. - counter to the anniversary uplift - prices tend to fall for 18 -21 year old port as port laid down from Christening c...

Yes - that was my fear. I have not heard anything from the shippers.
I am not sure what other opportunities there will be around this time to taste most of the 2015 ports under one roof.

Does anyone know the status of the BFT this year?
(Ben sadly passed away last year and Danny Cameron moved from RR)

I'm quite weak on 1980 (no F80)
I have most/all 85 and 83.

Food order
Starter - Potted crab
Main: steak - medium rare

yes please count me in

Now getting round to arranging this....
We appear to have most of the shippers between us.
I have booked B&F for Thursday 08 June - I have edited the list in order of expressions of interest. Please reconfirm that you can attend.
I will update the list after this.

Cheers

Tony

Yes please... count me in...

Hi - yes please count me in - I have 1927 which I will keep aside.

Cheers
Tony

I should be OK for the 4th...

Thank you - for comments etc
Slightly tied up until Xmas - I will tray and finalise dates etc by end Jan
In the meantime have a great Christmas.

I'd love to attend. I also really like the 1967 vintage and think this is one which is often overlooked by the port market generally - but that could change when desperate people start to look for 50th birthday presents. I've got a few shippers: Ck, a solitary GB, Martinez, Noval, one bottle of Roe...

Hi - I need to start planning this and firm up dates by end Jan 17. I now have most of the 67's on the list bar a few which are proving difficult. I would like to try and make this as complete a horizontal as possible. At the offline we did talk about holding this in Porto in June if we ever got the...

Please count me in - cheers T.

At the moment I have T, W, G, D, QH in Mags
I can get the D in Tappit - but it is very expensive.
