Friday 3rd January 2025

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Anyone free on Friday 3rd January for our first emergency offline of the year? Mrs B is out with the girls and threatening to come home ready to snore louder than me (which, obviously, is easily done since I don’t snore).

I therefore have permission for dinner in London with wine and/or Port in hand.

Attendees:
  • Alex B
  • Martin
Possible:
  • -
Not Attending:
  • Neil
  • Mike
  • Julian
  • Alex M
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!

Shuttle her to the spare bedroom so you can sleep without enduring the snoring.

Alas not for me.

Willing to make obvious paperwork, if appropriately instructed.

To quote AHB - "The emergency offline in London on January 3rd did happen. It took place at 67 Pall Mall and featured Kopke 1975 Colheita, Warre 1980, Fonseca 1963 and Fonseca 1934 (from Castle Raby). Attended by me, Martin and Nigel."
