Proof required.

What did we drink from this bottle today (PhilW is disqualified from this quiz as he knows the answer)?

Post by **flash_uk** » 19:52 Thu 25 Dec 2014

Fonseca '70.

Were this QI, that silly alarm would now be sounding...

Nothing. You drank it from glasses, not from the bottle.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 11:55 Fri 26 Dec 2014

This is pedantry that has abandoned all good sense. In order to get it to the glasses and our mouths we had to take it from the bottle.
You lose five points.

Have you been doing the Sarah Miles thing?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 11:56 Fri 26 Dec 2014

I may have been, but please don't out me here.

What is the Sarah Miles thing?

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 12:12 Fri 26 Dec 2014

Sarah Miles used to affirm the health giving properties of a glass of her own urine each morning. But I suppose micturition into a port bottle would be inconvenient.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 12:12 Fri 26 Dec 2014

The Daily Mail, in [url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2337771/Sarah-Miles-affair-Olivier-accused-murdering-toyboy--shes-opened-healing-clinic.html]an interview with Sarah Miles[/url], wrote: 'Drinking your own urine is wonderful for your skin, fantastic for your hair, your immune system — it’s fantastic for everything!'

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 12:14 Fri 26 Dec 2014

Anyway, no, we did not do that. We didn't even have an Xmas blend. It was port what we drunk.

AW77 · Post by **AW77** » 15:03 Fri 26 Dec 2014

You drank half the magnum of the 1970 port (forgot the shipper) that was left over from the christmas party you gave for your friends.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 15:06 Fri 26 Dec 2014

André has the right answer but can anyone remember the shipper (if no right answer in three guesses, the question is André's)?

Post by **DRT** » 15:08 Fri 26 Dec 2014

Cruz?

Guess 1. No.

AW77 · Post by **AW77** » 16:01 Fri 26 Dec 2014

I think it was a Dow.

Post by **DRT** » 16:04 Fri 26 Dec 2014

Cockburn.

Andre's turn, it was Sandeman.

AW77 · Post by **AW77** » 16:25 Fri 26 Dec 2014

Ok, here's my question (a short and quick one):

Today, I had a sherry for dessert. Which one? (Producer and name of the sherry are required.)

Williams and Humbert Dry Sack?

If it turns out this is the correct answer I shall be suspicious, but at the same time, unsurprised.

Sandeman Royal Ambrosante?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 17:45 Fri 26 Dec 2014

It was a PX if you had it for dessert. Emilio Lustau?

Post by **DRT** » 17:58 Fri 26 Dec 2014

Croft Original

AW77 · Post by **AW77** » 18:13 Fri 26 Dec 2014

PX is too sweet for me. It's like drinking liquid jam.
Glenn is right with the producer, but it was not Royal Ambrosante.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 18:20 Fri 26 Dec 2014

Then Palo Cortado. Opposite end of the scale.

AW77 · Post by **AW77** » 18:34 Fri 26 Dec 2014

No Palo Cortado.

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 20:47 Fri 26 Dec 2014

Then it must be the East india Solera. Well maybe it is, or perhaps not. I am sorry to sound so imperative. It was just a suggestion. Get off my back, alright, everybody gets things wrong sometimes.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 20:48 Fri 26 Dec 2014

Oh definitely. I think André likes this one. We shared a bottle of it at the start of our Mosel tour.

AW77 · Post by **AW77** » 21:06 Fri 26 Dec 2014

I really like Lustau's East India Solera. But if you read this thread closely, then you will find out that I had a sherry by Sandeman today. Do you want to have a clue?

AW77 · Post by **AW77** » 21:13 Fri 26 Dec 2014

So far Glenn was closest to the answer.

Sorry Andre. My attention wandered, what about that Sandeman 20yo Oloroso? very lovely, but I can't remember the name.

AW77 · Post by **AW77** » 21:33 Fri 26 Dec 2014

No problem. There is no obligation to read meaningless drivel too closely.
Not the 20 Year Oloroso. Think younger.

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 22:16 Fri 26 Dec 2014

Another guess from someone and I shall put my research into words.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 22:19 Fri 26 Dec 2014

Two guesses in a row there Owen. Sandeman Armada Superior Cream?

That was what I was going to say, now I'll have to go back to that singularly irksome Sandeman site.

AW77 · Post by **AW77** » 22:33 Fri 26 Dec 2014

It was the Armada. My clue would have been "1588". I will post a TN tomorrow. Daniel's turn.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 22:46 Fri 26 Dec 2014

Tomorrow, I might visit a small town that produces a commodity which I like. Name the commodity or the town.

Post by **jdaw1** » 22:48 Fri 26 Dec 2014

Melton Mowbray?

Dún na nGall, for the tweed.

AW77 · Post by **AW77** » 22:57 Fri 26 Dec 2014

Guinness or Dublin?

Post by **jdaw1** » 23:00 Fri 26 Dec 2014

Galway.

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 23:27 Fri 26 Dec 2014

Sligo; for Westlife memorabilia.

Exactly correct. Donegal town to visit Magee HQ. Owen's turn.
