Vintage Port with Johnny Symington
Date of tasting: 07/05/2009
Location: Old School House, Tittensor
We are delighted to welcome
Johnny Symington
Current Head of the Symington Family Estates
To Old School Wines on Thursday 7th May 2009
7pm to 9pm
I know it’s a ‘school night’ but the opportunity to taste Port with Johnny Symington is too great an opportunity to pass by.
Johnny is current head of the Symington Port ‘Dynasty’ who own the following Port Houses:
Warre’s
Graham’s
Dow’s
Smith Woodhouse
Quinta do Vesuvio
Gould Campbell
To name just a few and between them they produce 1/3 of the world’s quality Port.
(To say that this is another big ‘scoop’ for Tittensor is to somewhat understate things!)
Johnny is here to introduce us to the 2007 vintage. The first vintage to be declared since 2003 and only the 2nd Port Vintage to be declared this century.
As well as tasting young Ports from the 2007 vintage Johnny will be giving his views on some of the Symington Family’s Ports in the Old School range.
If you love Port you really should try to make it!
Tickets are limited to 35 people and are priced at just £5 per person.
Admission is by ticket only and you will need to reserve tickets in advance.
