We have 2 Taylors then?jdaw1 wrote:? = Taylor;
Tom - before I head into the wilds of Essex for Taylors of questionable reputation, maybe I should adopt one of yours. Would that be a good idea? I will PM you now.uncle tom wrote:For those looking to adopt, I also have Taylor, Offley and Rebello Valente available.

Ah, yes. Do you mean that my saying that I would avoid a particular wine, based on an unenthusiastic TN, contradicts my wish to explore this vintage thoroughly? Well, I am guided (swayed?) by others' opinions, as a prelude to forming my own; and when we have finite scope in a single evening to taste wine from this vintage, I suppose I prioritise some more established or reliable names over others. Once those are confirmed, I am happy to roam far and wide through the wines of 66. Is that not the best way to further my education?RAYC wrote:djewesbury wrote:I think for this tasting I'd like to know what I'm drinking.

Less of that... Are you being helpful, jdaw1?jdaw1 wrote:How long have you two been married?
If now's not the occasion for your Croft, THRA has a Rebello up for adoption.benread wrote:Subject to nothing changing with Mrs Read's schedule next week, it loooks like I am able to join you. The only 66 I have is Croft which was a present from my father and I think had been in his cellar for 40 odd years. Croft has already been promised though, so does anyone have anything to offer for adoption please? (Assuming Chris is still planning on bringing this.)
Are there any lesser 66s we're missing / can get hold of?RAYC wrote:Question: if we have covered the main 66s, should we be looking at a couple of choice 67s (eg: Sandeman, Martinez, Cockburn) for any additional bottles that are needed?
