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.

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 15:29 Fri 15 Apr 2022

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.

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

Nobody has yet committed. The date could be moved. Suggest!

idj123 · Post by **idj123** » 17:42 Fri 15 Apr 2022

Can’t do that week but could the following. Like the proposed theme!

Post by **jdaw1** » 19:09 Fri 15 Apr 2022

Tue 10^th May 2022 works for me. Others?

Both 3^rd and 10^th?

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 19:49 Fri 15 Apr 2022

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!

Post by **jdaw1** » 21:32 Fri 15 Apr 2022

It’s a good theme. Help me find a date.

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 20:14 Sat 16 Apr 2022

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?

winesecretary · Post by **winesecretary** » 20:22 Sat 16 Apr 2022

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.

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 21:06 Sat 16 Apr 2022

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?

Post by **jdaw1** » 21:37 Sat 16 Apr 2022

How about the morning of Thursday 8^th September?

nac · Post by **nac** » 17:22 Tue 19 Apr 2022

Crusted - yes please. September is good.

Doggett · Post by **Doggett** » 17:33 Tue 19 Apr 2022

Would be interested depending on the date. Will confirm once more details have been set.

winesecretary · Post by **winesecretary** » 17:50 Tue 19 Apr 2022

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

hadge · Post by **hadge** » 18:34 Tue 19 Apr 2022

i would be interested - have a few crusted somewhere.

forest26 · Post by **forest26** » 19:19 Tue 19 Apr 2022

YEs I would be interested in this

DaveRL · Post by **DaveRL** » 20:25 Wed 20 Apr 2022

Yes please, I have a few.

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!)

Sounds good - count me in! Thx.

Works for me also.

benread · Post by **benread** » 16:18 Fri 22 Apr 2022

I’d like to get involved in this if space is available. 20th would work.

Date chosen. Booking made. We are a dozen — there remain two seats.

Post by **PhilW** » 11:13 Sat 23 Apr 2022

Yes please

Post by **jdaw1** » 06:57 Wed 31 Aug 2022

Please could people confirm attendance.

Doggett · Post by **Doggett** » 07:15 Wed 31 Aug 2022

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

CPR 1 · Post by **CPR 1** » 07:17 Wed 31 Aug 2022

re confirming - looking forward to this

Reconfirming

Post by **PhilW** » 08:00 Thu 01 Sep 2022

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.

Post by **flash_uk** » 11:21 Thu 01 Sep 2022

95% yes for me.

winesecretary · Post by **winesecretary** » 12:20 Thu 01 Sep 2022

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

The offer is still good. We can work something out.

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.

Please reveal.

forest26 · Post by **forest26** » 15:32 Sat 03 Sep 2022

Yes - still good for this

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.

Post by **jdaw1** » 17:25 Sat 03 Sep 2022

I will be adopting from Alex a Graham bot. 2002, and will also bring one of Wine Society bot. 2013 | Graham bot. 2013.

Hi guys,
Sorry, won’t be able to make this one as will be away…
Hope to catch up soon!
Have fun!

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

Regrettably Mrs Read is off travelling that week now so I am unable to make an evening in London.
