Re: Wednesday 24th February 2021 - Online Churchill tasting with the Port Forum
sorry for the delay, i have the 94 or Gricha 05, if there is another 94 then i will go with that, otherwise to keep things easy i will go for the Gricha 05.

The tasting with Churchill has been postponed to later in the year. Keep an eye on this thread, however, in case we are able to find an alternative host.

I think we should go ahead with our meet up as by the time we reschedule we will have received at least one other part of our Port Club offering so we will be able to have an even wider selection to choose from.

The two people I approached to substitute for Johnny at short notice are not able to do so.
I’ll issue an invite today for TPF Zoom Tasting #4 of 2021. The theme will change to one of “Any fortified wine you want to drink.” Which works for me since I have a bottle of Blandy’s 2004 Malvasia on death row.

The bottles I’d opened to share with some other TPFers have been decanted into smaller 20cl bottles, capped with argon, and stuck in the fridge. Hopefully they’ll survive until the rearranged tasting. Hopefully the samples sent out have also / will also survive?

Is the plan for this to occur tomorrow at the time previously scheduled for the Churchill tasting? And has the invite been sent? (I have not received it yet.)Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑12:14 Mon 22 Feb 2021 I’ll issue an invite today for TPF Zoom Tasting #4 of 2021.
I have some leftovers from Sunday evening that I'll finish off for this tasting.

Attachments are misbehaving. I can't remove the extra copy of the glasses pic without the bottle pic also disappearing. When first posted (after placing the attachments inline and using preview, which displayed correctly), the bottle pic disappeared and there was a message that said the attachment was no longer available. When edited to re-add the bottle pic, the above happened.

That Romaneira 40y.o. is making me drool a tiny bit.

I’ve had the same issue when posting with multiple attachments. I think it’s an underlying problem with the phpBB software.Glenn E. wrote: ↑19:23 Tue 23 Feb 2021 Attachments are misbehaving.

I have one left. They're very difficult to find because I think they are made specially for an importer in Denmark, so not available anywhere else.
But even more drool-worthy, I have one of the old ones left, too, circa 2011. The "40" is red on the old labels, and the old bottles were 3-4 points better than the new ones in my opinion.

I’m afraid something has come up and I may not be able to join you tonight. I hope that doesn’t cause any inconvenience, especially since I think the plan is just for an informal session. If it does, I apologise.

The date of Wednesday 28th April has been suggested as the replacement for our postponed meeting in February.
Any strong objections?

No objections, but unlikely to work for me.
