Also I have a bottle of NN I could bring at my cost. I know it has a poor reputation so may not be welcome! Let me know either way.

Don't underestimate NN75. It has a good reputation and the only time I've tasted it, it wasn't a great wine by any means but I did enjoy it as a fully mature Port which needed to be drunk soon.
