Does anybody know the Bishop of Norwich?
Admittedly I didn't until just now.

Derek
Based on this book definition- I think we can both be described as "Port Heads " and we know who some of the others are!!
Was a bit surprised to see 1970 excluded form the list of top vintages but 1977 included. Very much looking forward to giving it a full read.

Agreed, but how do we get Claudia Schiffer to a port tasting without having to invite the others on the list?

Simple. Invite her for body shots [cheers.gif] ... off of her, of course. Photos appreciated for those that can not be there in person.

Who is that Chris G. guy? :wink:
