Inspired by the
whites tasting organised by recent member
Nelly , would there be interest in a theme of Crusted? I say blind. Bottles can young or old, cheap or expensive, single or magnum, but they must be of sediment-throwing red Port that isn’t quite Vintage.

I like the theme.
It is unlikely that I will be able to attend given the other tastings either side of the proposed date. If I can, it will be a decision taken on the day if a space is still available.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

It’s so nice to hear that I’ve inspired you, Julian!
I wish I could join you guys for this one as well. But I have my WSET diploma exam on the 10th of May, so will have to pass on this one

We have tastings on 24 April, 17 May and 24 May. I also have a tasting on 25 April.
A change of date from 3 May to 10 May still makes it unlikely I will be able to attend!
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

It's a great theme which I would love to take part in.
Probably not what you were hoping for - but how about September 7 or 8?

Sep 7th would be good - I'm getting married on 8th or 9th so should probably avoid booking a TPF tasting for those dates - party on 10th though - I am trying to negotiate a pork pie and port bar.

Well congratulations!
A Crusted Port tasting might be an excellent alternative to a stag night - but might it perhaps be better on the 6th rather than the 7th?

20, 21, 27 Sep would all suit me for date - but I have very little crusted so don't work around me.

Any of those dates would work for me.
And George, please allow me the privilege of offering you a bottle to adopt if you don't want to use any of your limited supply. (I didn't realise just how much Crusted I have and how much storage space it is taking up!)

I am afraid I will need to drop out of this one. We have had to open up some closed days in the more seasonal
Months for the B&B to keep the lights on

Apologies, but I failed to put this one in the diary somehow, so this is looking unlikely for me currently.
Therefore, if you have another wanting a spot please drop me; otherwise if there is still a spot I may try to attend last-minute if possible.

Reconfirming. I still have no crusted port to hand though. Alex, your historic offer to enable me to adopt, if still good, gratefully accepted.

Small change of plan. There’s been some de-blinding, by people who hadn’t noticed that it was blind. So now it isn’t: we are sighted .

Were I to make it, albeit unlikely, it would be with a bottle of Noval '62 crusted - bottled 1965, so arguably should be called '65 crusted, but that's not what the label says.

I am intending bringing a T64. Also noticed that I have finally joined the "1000 club'-only taken me near enough 10 years!
