Brown and weird. I concur.

Thanks!

In future I sense it would be better if I simply post my TNs directly on the litlte TN forum (instead of creating threads to discuss entire dinners).

Left handed and proud!

I'm planning to in an hour or so (round 3pm) FWIW.

Woo woo

Picked up two '70 Warre's from Seckford this morning (45per, excl. VAT + delivery).

Alright, homey -- just bought the last two loose bottles of this at Seckford (45per, DP, excl. VAT) on the strength of your note.

Fingers crossed.

boy, oh boy. that is one mighty respectable line-up

Now that we're over 100 ports...can we remove the 1980 Taylor from the list?

Only had two experiences, but both were pristine bottles, neither of which meritted a score above 89pts. Not one I would recommend, particularly when bottles like the 2000 Niepoort remain off the list.

The 85F is indeed a good hit, Sushi. You see one or two bottles pop up here and there, but you always have to be skeptical of how those individual bottles have been stored (I have often found them in windows or other large displays as 'show' bottles). Would love to add to my allocation at that price.

Derek -- I do not recall mentioning the nature of the theme, but I did mention that I was told that there was a theme. All -- After reading Alex's notes, and the posts on this thread, it seems that there was pretty strong group consensus on the various attributes of each wine. Is this common in grou...

Rather on the contrary, for better or worse. While Derek had hoped that by having three blind 75s to 'surprise' Julian with their quality and to unmask them in triumph after Julian had guessed some more majestic vintage, when asked what he thought the masked wines where -- he said something along th...

Informal tasting in London with some new friends. My notes are more impressions, as I was busy being introduced to the Bishop of Norwich. Overall, I viewed the wines in three distinct groups. The 70 Dow (the only 'proper') Vintage Port in the group was a standout. In tier two, we had a few very clas...

That's one tasty looking line-up!

Thanks, Ben.

I was thinking I'd bring the 1995, unless folks feel that's too young.

Thanks, Killer.

Sounds like it'll be a wonderful tasting.

What kind of stems do people generally bring to port OLs?

I would be most pleased to attend if there is still space.

Hi there!

If there is any space available, I would be interested in joining. I don't know if it is obscure enough, but I've heard good things about the '76 Niepoort and figured this might be the appropriate time to give it a whirl.

Ben --

If there is space, I would be interested in attending.

Thanks

First post! Hi Jacob and Co. -- I would like to attend this tasting, if there is still space. As a word of introduction, I was born and rasied in Manhattan (with a few stints in London to build character). I've been living over here most recently for the last 9 months or so, stationed out of Notting...
