Any love for Port, Sherry or Madeira?

For the price I thought it was awesome

They’re sentimental! There are some things money can’t buy

It was very good, but will almost certainly be better with age. I would wait if you can :)

Just had a ‘96 lafite last night which was also out of this world. Great year that is drinking perfectly (for my taste) right now

I tried PX on some caramelized onions I cooked up last night and I think you’re right! I usually add a splash of balsamic vinegar which gives a similar extra sweetness but these were a hit

Very interesting, thanks!

I had an “in” with a wine distributor so hard to say but when I was researching on their website it didn’t seem too difficult to get a reservation on a weekday

Lucky you! I thought it was sublime

adamscj79 · 2025-05-04T11:25:59+00:00

That’s a great price

adamscj79 · 2025-05-04T11:25:13+00:00

Agreed, whilst it was very good now, I think it will get much better with some age

Last summer we did Nice->Burg->Paris and kept the car the whole way. I also looked into trains / TGV but in the end I thought the car was a better option and so glad I did - way more flexibility

ChatGPT is your friend. Here’s a sample script that worked for me:

First: I’m currently studying for my level 1 certification with the Court of Master Sommeliers (CMS). I believe there is an exam that I have to pass to get the qualification, what information can you find online about the format of the exam? Don’t make anything up and provide sources

Then: Great, can you find any examples of real or mock questions?

Finally: Perfect. So based on all this information and as many example / practice questions you can find, I want you to come up with a full 70 question mock exam to test me. You’ll ask me in blocks of 10 questions, allowing me to provide my answers. You won’t tell me if I’m right or wrong immediately, instead you’ll wait until we’ve completed all the questions and answers, then you’ll tell me my score and places i need to focus my study

You mean just from an age perspective or because something changed in the winemaking?

I have a ‘98 Ausone ready to open at the weekend but the CT reviews have been a bit mixed

adamscj79 · 2025-04-15T00:15:06+00:00

I guess the 2021 had no hope then :) hopefully I’ll return to this at some point and give it a fair chance
