Just a quick reminder about our Christmas Tastings, the first of which, our Port Tasting, is this Saturday. These are the Ports we will be tasting this Saturday (a bit Niepoort-centric, but they are our Ports!) -
Niepoort Dry White Port
Niepoort Ten Year Old Tawny
Niepoort Late Bottled Vintage 2001
Graham Quinta dos Malvedos Single Quinta 1996
Fonseca Guimaraens 1988
Niepoort Quinta do Passodouro 1999
For any of you that don't know, these are informal gatherings at the wine shop and are open to anyone - they are every Saturday in December between 12pm and 5pm. Venue - Fareham Wine Cellar, 55 High Street, Fareham, Hampshire, PO16 7BG. Please telephone me on 01329 822733 if you have any further questions.

They're not exactly pushing the boat out! - but I suppose if you happen to be in Fareham on Saturday, and have someone to drive you home..

Subsequent Saturdays might have a different menu

Subsequent Saturdays might have a different menu, though, as you say, it’s nothing special.

But when you consider the fact that FWC are not charging anything to attend, I think that this is a very fair selection of ports for people to try.
If I could, I would be there to try the FG88

Alex,
I was just going to ask the cost. But for free, that is a very good line up. I'm lucky if I can find one, at best two, Port tastings per year around me. Yet dry wine tastings are almost everyday
the target audience

I think that users of this BB would probably rather pay £25 each for a more extravagant lineup. But we aren’t the target audience, and as a free tasting for the presumed target—people who drink port rarely—it’s very fair.
