I presume I am adopting a bottle of port from someone....

Re: Wed 30 Nov 2022, The Software’s 20th Anniversary
I'd love to join but can't provide any of those specific ports. I can certainly rustle up a bottle that would be befitting of its company though!

Re: RESCHEDULED: Quevedo Closure Experiment and Bring a Bottle to Share with Oscar
Regret am in Guernsey on business on 11 May. The glamour! I’ve had some great trips to Guernsey. Hopefully more to come. I was on the last ever BA flight to leave Guernsey in about 2008 or something. Pilot got permission to do a low level fly past over the airport to say goodbye and we all got serv...

Re: RESCHEDULED: Quevedo Closure Experiment and Bring a Bottle to Share with Oscar
I should be ok for the new date but I won’t know for certain until nearer the time as I am reliant on Mrs Read not being in Barcelona, which she has been warned might be required at some stage in April or May. Assume yes - she understands the benefits to my mental well-being! Sent from my iPhone usi...

Lisbon
A ‘soon to expire’ TAP travel voucher is taking the whole family to Lisbon for a few days in early April. (Porto was vetoed!) Any advice on family friendly (boys aged 13 & 11) things to do or places to eat. Bonus point if it is somewhere that will also satiate my thirst for port! Sent from my iP...

I've kept the seal and will bring it along.Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑09:31 Wed 02 Feb 2022 Ben - I don’t recall seeing producer seals or producer branding on any BBR bottles I’ve opened previously. The cork on my 1997 didn’t refer to the shipper.

Re: Tue 08 Feb 2022: A Cellar Reduction Party
Your oddments are of great interest to a child of 1970, but unfortunately I don't think I can join you. If you need to reduce your cellar any more of such oddments, do let me know!

Re: Hi - I Like Port
Thank you for joining us here ‘Whoosh’. Having checked offline I can declare that I know Whoosh and directed him here. We’re yet to share a glass of port together, unless he was fortunate to be around when I opened the odd Dow 1960 back in the early to mid 1990s when we shared a house for a few year...

I'm unlikely to make a dinner afterwards as it looks like Nuala might be away that week and my mother is not one for late nights babysitting!

Re: Churchill Tasting, May? 2022, detail TBC
I’d be interested if a space becomes available. I have a single bottle of Ch. 85 and quite a few port club bottlings.

Alex, I feel very much the same as Simon & Rich. I have been expecting this to be postponed for the last week or so - it comes as no real surprise and you have done the right thing in asking Oscar not to travel. So close to Christmas, the last thing any of us want is for someone else to have the...

Re: ThePortForumRed update
I have one suggestion - it relates to what might be considered the home page when using a web browser rather than the App. I expect a click on any website logo to take me 'home'.
