One quiz at a time

Glenn E. · Post by **Glenn E.** » 21:31 Tue 21 Apr 2009

I think that "classic" requires a quorum and cannot be defined by one person's experience. I assumed that "classic" meant an older, well-known house and for that purpose I believe that Royal Oporto qualifies.

At any rate, now knowing that we're using a different definition, I'll go with a 1970 Offley.

Noval 1970

Great guess.

I will go for Ferreira 1970 - and don't even think about a "is that a classic house" question

Wrong house.

Arrow’s Theorem says that I am the quorum.

Absolutely right to say that KillerB’s guess was ‟Great”. KillerB is on.

What's sad is that I had typed in 1970 Noval, then decided that it was too obvious.

Loophole: DRT's last guess is not yet known to be wrong, so this guess is technically not prohibited.

My next bottle of port has been chosen I have two of them visible. A house of the second rank, though known for doing a very fine job in an occasional vintage, and a year of which there has been a horizontal in the UK but not the US (at least, not under the auspices of

Name house and year.

My first 3 guesses were legit. After that I had to resort to Google as I'm not all that good with song titles.

I could be mischievous and suggest that houseâ‰ 1977 and yearâ‰ Croft! But, of course:

Yes, I read it too quickly and the first offline that came to mind was the fabulous Croft offline, and I didn't recall one of those here in the US, so guessed quickly.

Of course, "year" and "horizontal" should have been clues...
