Re: Wed 17 June 2015, The Sweet-spot Vintages (66,70,77)

Any views on when to decant the D77? We could pop n pour which some suggest as the best approach given it reputation (In which case I will leave it there this week to settle) or we could take a chance and decant as normal? What do people think?

I had been having similar thoughts to Alex and would be up for the Taylor option. I could bring the 77

Re: Tue 05 May 2015, Boot & Flogger, Fonseca

An great evening and a excellent line up thus big thanks to Mike for organising.

The F55 was deservedly wine of the night, but many others were also great underlining why Fonseca is one of my favourite shippers

Re: Wed 17 June 2015, The Sweet-spot Vintages (66,70,77)

I think there are now 7 of us with AHB thus shall we plan on 3 shippers Graham, Fonseca and either Dow or Warre? (but no 63's)

I have available 70/77 in all of these

Re: Thu 26 March 2015, Boot & Flogger, Blind with a clue

A most enjoyable evening with good port and company, even if my guesses were more errant than usual. My wine of the night was the SW 77 which was very good.
