Portuguese Wine Dinner
Boot & Flogger, Green Room - 7pm, Tuesday 14th June 2022

“Following previous Ridge, Jaboulet and Bordeaux events where we've had a few bottles of something that isn't Port, and then a couple of bottles that are.” To quote NAC

I have felt that I haven’t drunk enough Portuguese table wines after a chat at the last tasting.

I was thinking a line up of the following bottle areas but happy to change this around.

3,
4,
R, Niepoort, Redoma, Douro, 2006 - HTWH

Ports or sweet
1,

R, something 70 not sure of shipper - HTWH

This works best with a maximum eight heads currently there is lots of spaces

Attendees:
1. HTWH
2. NAC
3. JDAW
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.

P.S I happy to talk to the B&F about Special Steaks if people are game.

[jdaw1]

Ooh, yes pls. But I have only one (albeit a delicious one): Crasto Touriga National 2006. Obvs., willing to bring fortified as well.

[MigSU]

I would've had very many bottles to contribute, but alas I'm not available on this date.

I did not understand this sentence. Nonetheless, amenable to either, lightly preferring the latter.

[nac]

I’ll definitely bring Bonifacio Unilar Reserva 1977; a red, possibly from Setubal. Will check the details.

Probably something else as well - maybe one of the Chocapalha variants.

Will have a look in the cellar and confirm.

I’ll definitely bring Bonifacio Unilar Reserva 1977; a red, possibly from Setubal. Will check the details.

Yes, it's from Palmela, in the Península de Setúbal DOC region. That should be an interesting bottle to open.

[jdaw1]

Out of curiosity, per person, how many bottles of wine, how many of Port?

From a case of 12 purchased many years ago from Laithwaites. Last bottle was a few years ago, and was still drinking very nicely.

Suspect rather depends upon number of attendees, but if it remains at just three then how about 4-5 bottles still + 1 fortified (in total - not per head).

[CPR 1]

I am enjoying Douro wines more and more, but alas I am in Manchester on the 14th

[nac]

Is this is just the three of us then the Green Room is probably not needed...

Are we still going to do this or should we do something less formal?

[flash_uk]

I'd have liked to have made it but have a prior that can't be changed. If only three of you, maybe a different date for the Portuguese wines, and then Charles and I can maybe make it?

[winesecretary]

I also would like to attend, but I am abroad next week...

I think that we should postpone this tasting as there is a few others that would like to join in plus i have a few bottles being sent to me to try which should be good for this tasting.

I will drop the 2 of you a line about other options.

[Screagle]

I have two of São João Porta dos Cavaleiros Dão Tinto 1980 - allowing one for backup. Of the six purchased at auction in December 2017, four have so far slipped down a treat. As before I'm generally available on Wednesday and Thursday evenings...
