Post by Alex Bridgeman »

On Thursday 17th December 2015 a small group gathered at the White Horse pub in Newport, Essex for the annual TPF Christmas Offline with the usual theme of "The Unknown Shipper and his Peculiar Friends".

Tasting notes on the wines drunk:
Top Ports in 2022: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931. I have never drunk such a wonderful bottle of Port. I cried with joy.

2023: Fonseca 1966. There are not many better Ports, except a good bottle of Fonseca 1927. Wow!
