Monday 19th October 2026 - a vertical of old wines

Zak and I have been chatting in the background to make sure we don’t clash dates in October.

On Monday 19th, I’m going to organise another tasting which is an excuse to open some of my older bottles in the company of their peers. I’ll probably use the private room in Noble Rot in Shepherd’s Market in Mayfair again, and again order a suckling pig (with vegetarian options available from the menu or ordered in advance off menu as required).

Cost last year was approx. £250 per head, which included the cost to hire in Riedel Port glasses we needed.

The room is small so places are limited to 8, with one being held for an industry guest.

As last year, places will be allocated to those offering the oldest bottles. Shipper will be decided shortly once I’ve had chance to look through my cellar list properly.

Would be interested in that. One you may find interesting is old Rioja e.g. 1920 or 1928 Paternina.

Would love to, but not sure I can compete at the Highest 'Old Bottle' level. Stick me down if you fall short

Not sure, that I will have a bottle old enough but yes, I’m interested.
