In typical Jubilee weather – cold wind and showers – I enjoyed a day at Ascot with the Graham’s 1952 Diamond Jubilee Port which provided a most welcome and warming accompaniment to the strawberries! The Grahams 1952 was served to a gathering of twenty friends and family at the picnic before the arrival of The Queen and the afternoon’s horse racing.
To great excitement and ever more deafening cries from the crowds one of the Queen’s own horses “Estimate” won The Queen’s Vase Race. As The Queen can not present the prize to herself, The Duke Of Edinburgh graciously presented it to her.
It was really the Queen’s day, so we celebrated her win with – yes, you guessed it – another glass of 1952!
Who was the first at Regata????
Hi Augusto, Warre’s placed first – there is one story on The Vintage Port Site already and more to come shortly here on the Blog, stay tuned! Thanks
Congratulations!!!!!
Very good!
It´s necessary , I think to open a little more Confraria, to the Country, to the City.
