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.
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 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!

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
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.

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!)
