UK Offer - Graham's Reserve

Post by Derek T. »

I picked up 6 bottles of Graham's Reserve today at Sainsbury's at £5.49 per bottle (normally £10.99) - great value for a nightcap 8)

Don't be mean to Derek. He won't drink all 6 - 5 - bottles by March 2. After all, this is the man who seeks out and buys examples of bottle aged ruby port.

I say Derek will cellar these for 30 years and then invite us all to compare his bottled aged Graham's Reserve against current bottlings.

Derek,
thanks for the heads up. I'm with you. For those who's palate is that fine, only vintage or unusual port will do, good on yer, and I'll look forward to seeing you once a year! I think I could see Derek every week. Like wine and cigars, lifes to short to wait patiently for the best stuff... :D

Cheers, Alan

Alan,

Don't be fooled by these guys who pretend that their port habit consists of 1 or 2 bottles of classic VP per month. Having spent many hours with each of them I can assure you that their capacity is substantially more than they would have you believe :wink: - just do a search on "TN" in the main forum and see how many times you recognise the authors name from the contributors to this thread :roll:

Alex, OK, I will put one of these in my bottle aged Ruby collection for the 20th anniversary FTLOP Offline 8)
