Bring a bottle wrapped in foil Tuesday 16th June
It’s been ages since I have done a blind tasting, we used to do more of these bring a bottle wrapped in foil tastings. In the early days of TPF I think they were the most common type of tastings. We have become better at doing excellent organised verticals and horizontals. Once in a while a decent blind tasting is a lot of fun.
I think we will go for a Vintage Port from a classic vintage between 1960 and 1985 so it’s a bit less open to totally left field bottles
Thus has now been provisionally booked for Tuesday 16th June. I have the Red Room reserved so can do up to 14.
As I know I will get asked I don't mind if you bring in decanter but please bring original bottle wrapped in foil or the like for the great reveal!
Everyone needs to confirm they can make this date please

Definitely interested. Probably needs to be a week or so either side of RP tasting on Tuesday 9 June. Note one of England’s World Cup matches is on Tuesday 23 June
Re: Bring a bottle wrapped in foil
Yes, I’m up for this.
