Not my turn, and there are probably 2-300 VPs still within range so guessing at this point is somewhat useless

That's probably enough by way of clues. Who wants the next question?

Just seen Alex's second clue (posts crossed), so am assuming it is my turn:
I have just seen the name of a member of TPF on ebay, in an auction ending this weekend - who and why?

So to recap, we've been told that 1945 is not far wrong, but that it's not 1948. It isn't Fonseca, Graham or Taylor, but Croft is 'close'.AHB wrote:Sorry, missed those on the iPhone.djewesbury wrote:Did you answer the two 48 guesses...?AHB wrote:Close on the shipper.

Taking that literally, the closest other house to the Croft quinta at Roêda is Dow. Is it a Dow 42?

Go back a couple of posts; Alex confirmed the vintage was '47, and then that the shipper was Cockburn just as I guessed Ck'47; I have already claimed, and asked the next question pending confirmationdjewesbury wrote:So to recap, we've been told that 1945 is not far wrong, but that it's not 1948.

No, none of the people mentioned, and the "why" does not involve the girth of any TPF member's tube.LGTrotter wrote:Me selling off my collection of hand-tooled vintage jokes.

Nope, no guesses approaching the right answer yet...
Clue: The TPF member is mentioned by TPF name, not "real" name, and not just Christian name. The reference is NOT a co-incidence, either.
p.s. Have just been out for food with friends, and have another friend coming over shortly, so will be intermittent quizmaster again (as usual!). Another clue later tonight, if needed.

It certainly is; There is a bottle of F77 on there, with tasting notes from Wine Spectator, Robert Parker, Neil Martin and AHB - and AHB's score is the lowest of the lotDRT wrote:Is it a bottle of Port with a tasting note from AHB in the description?
