Think I might have to purchase a bottle or two of something from North of the border for our next meeting

Port. We need port.

I have just shoved over 2 gallons of best Single Malt up in the loft as we have plenty of opened choice in the cabinet.

Last night, in addition to the TV going terminally pop, I opened an LBV Cockburns which was very thin and reedy. I commented to Mrs FC that I was glad:
a) that it wasnt the only bottle in the rack
b) I hadnt given it to anyone I liked.

So it was on the table this morning with only an inch or two missing.
But the cheese was spectacular.

Port ?
Cockburns ?
What is the ECF coming to ?
Must admit I prefer a drop of good brandy given the choice, or rum even, but port is a nice substitute should none of the others be avaiable

Nothing like a good smooth port and some Tuxford and Tebbutt finest blue stilton to round off the day

That's quite enough of the cheap port stuff if you please
Try something extra special, you know she's worth it

Port. We need port.

I always find port = headache in morning! My choice for post dinner would be a Duke of Clarence Rich Madeira.

Deep golden brown colour with honey and raisins on the nose; rich, full-bodied and soft-textured. It is a fine accompaniment to desserts, especially fruit, cakes or chocolate puddings. It also goes well with soft cheeses.

Anyone calling me a big girl's blouse can argue with a former First Sea Lord who was responsible for introducing me to this finer drink in life!!

I see.
Midshipman Karouise invited to private dinner sessions and fine wine lessons at Admiralty Arch. Hmm.


The dessert wine was actually a very nice Beeren Auslese, which, as we were dining in French order, came after the disappointment of the Cockburns.


I agree that a Madeira is an excellent swill, and can make a nice alternative to Sherry, but I prefer the stickier ports which cling to the glass having the consistency of a decent cough mixture.

Update

Just to let you know that after carefully checking my spelling I placed the calendar order late last night (Sunday) and I had an email confirmation all 64 were printed by lunchtime today so I expect to get them by Wednesday or so. I need to get one out urgently to Tillergirl but once that's done I'll sort out delivery/collection of the rest.

Stand by...
