Tempus Pro Blendio

Not a classical method for testing the nose of a port, I would respectfully suggest.

No Captain, surely not the sherry as well?

Save time on port blending by decanting both of your ropey old bottles of port at the same time

It’s not only the Cox who lays claim to that of master vintner of the WRC (and laid out guests who historically over-imbibed on her splendid vintages of yesteryear). As the above picture taken at the AGM shows, the Captain of Boats celebrated hosting the first Annual General Meeting since 2004 by creating his own blend of port for the occasion, which the VC and Chairman sampled following the early departure of the Captain due to over-exercising, the ladies having forsook the port for the sake of their relative sobriety. Following on from the last efforts the club made in the field of blending drinks, this could properly be considered a success. Even if the Captain's blend was a tad tart.
