2012 D.R.O.U.G.H.T offline.

Post by Deleted_User_1 »

As a responsible member of TPF and TPS for that matter, I feel it would be a good idea to promote the fact that we recognise the gravity of the severe drought we are experiencing here in the south east by organising an offline where wines from shippers with the initials that make up the word DROUGHT could be consumed one evening soon.

This has a couple of pitfalls I can see in that the U would have to be an Unknown shipper and the H would not have to be a Hutcheson 1970, which must be avoided at all costs....other than that...easy.

If you are keen to do your bit for the environment please suggest a date...venue I suggest is TBH or as recently identified more accurately as BHC (Bung Hole Cellars)

Attendees:
RLC
THRA (back from his rutting season and no doubt thirsty)

The Americanisation of this tasting is of concern. Perhaps we should do:
  • Romaneira
    Andresen
    Infantado
    Noval
    Sandeman
    Holdsworth, Tuke
    Offley
    Roriz
    Taylor
    Adams (or Avery)
    Graham
    Eira Velha
