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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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?

Sorry Andre. My attention wandered, what about that Sandeman 20yo Oloroso? very lovely, but I can't remember the name.
Re: One quiz at a time

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

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