Churchill have declared a Vintage Port for 2014
Total production 10,300 litres.

I have just received the press release.

Only available in Magnums and half bottles... somewhat unusual....

Hi Would you mind if I went way off-piste on this? I have just acquired 6 bottles of 1933 ?????? vintage port , the glass is to dark to read the cork so there is only one decent thing to do to identify this (open in good company!). There are only a few shippers for this year. I can bring a 70/77 as ...

At last a date I can make.... !
Count me in - 77 preferred.

Can you add me to the reserved for this

Cheers

Gentlemen, with great regret, I will have to bail out of Wednesday.
I was banking on leaving work early to catch the train but this is no longer possible.
Have a great evening and I look forward to catching up with you soon.

Probably - I think I have a few .... I'll dig it out tomorrow.

Hi I guess it is for me to bring the sticky stuff. I have a bottle of 1934 Dalva tawny - it is a 1970's Bottling. I am curious to learn how older bottlings vary over time. I will bring a reserve bottle of something else bottled more recently - just in case! I may be a little late arriving on Wednesd...

Hi - I should be able to attend.

Yes please add me to the tasting.

Sirs (and Madam) I have encountered a small issue with the BN55 - in that I could not find it! Can I respectfully offer another 55 - A Mackenzie bottled by J Harvey and Sons Bristol. Sorry!!! I am looking forward to this evening - I may be a little late if todays auction overruns. If this is the cas...

Placemats glasses pages on A3: who is to print? I notice that I am down to bring a F63 from the same pipe as yours. I can do this or if you want some more variety for the second half - I can substitute this with a Butler Nephew 55. Decision needed in time for placemats. I will print on Monday. JDAW...

Grahams released a small quantity of Malvedos to meet its Port Bond commitments.

I dashed out without saying thank you for organising what was a wonderful tasting last night. Undoubtably one of the best I have been to. Wines and organisation were exceptional.

Hi looking forward to Thursday
Forgot my food order

Main sirloin medium rare

See you next week

I notice one berth left on this- can I come along?
If it is any help or doesn't complicate things I can throw in a bottle from a case I purchased in this sale.

Yes... I just might have a small arsenal of 67's spirited away in my cellar waiting for a suitable opportunity to taste them.
There are a few on the list I don't have that could be a problem.

Hi

Can I send my ports to one (or two to lighten the load) of you so that you can take them to the B&F. Send me a PM and I will organise postage
Cheers

With the calendar already pretty full for 2017, I thought I would put a placeholder in for a 67 tasting.
It is still quite a way away so plant of time to find the rarer bottles. Recent tastings (Fg, Tv, Ck, Kr) indicate that the vintage has held up very well.

Thursday 08 June 2017 - 6:00pm Boot and Flogger Booked. The 1967 vintage falls in the shadow of the outstanding vintages that preceded it. Bottles I have tasted recently have held up pretty well. For those of us who are turning 50 in 2017 (and others), this will be an excellent opportunity to re-eva...

Wow - this got off the ground quickly.
Can I go on the list please?
TC

Thank you - glad to help out in an emergency.

A timely reminder! I can send my bottles to one of you or direct to B&F. At the moment I have available. D, W, N, RV, Ca(foz), GC, S (lib release), Ms(cachao), G.
