After a little while bedding-in the new Kenfessions site, we're now looking to ramp-up some activity on there and get it singing... hopefully without any actual singing from Ken. Although nothing can be ruled out for certain. ;)

Starting Fri 29/11, we've got 5x El Pres Samplers to give away via random draw, over the next 5 weeks!! :spotlight:  All you need to do is click through (link below) log-in or be a guest user, read the article and then leave a comment at the bottom (on the Kenfessions site, not in this thread). Make sure you use/mention your forum handle so we know who you are. Make the comment as detailed as you see fit but know that quality comments will get extra chances in the draw! :thumbsup: And, of course, you can comment on other articles you find on the site, too. 

If you wish, you can also subscribe to the site and get Ken's articles delivered straight into your inbox weekly! (This will be dependent on numbers, so the more the merrier!)

That's it! Here's the 3rd article in the competition series - enjoy and good luck! :party:

 

San Cristobal ‘La Punta’ – Gutierrez Colosia Amontillado and Oloroso – Ode to La Venencia

The lunch is run by a local medico mate and he does so with an iron fist. Stuff up and your invites to future events might become a little thin on the ground. Plenty angling to take an empty seat. This one, all wines are usually served blind to avoid preconceptions, required wines we considered to be of Grand Cru status. They did not have to be formally acknowledged but we had to defend our choices.

A magnum of Pol Roger ‘Sir Winston’ 2002 was unanimously declared Grand Cru worthy. A Lafite and Sassicaia, a Rayas and a Rousseau, likewise. A couple of VPs – by chance both a mate and I had brought Warres – a 1963 and a 2016 – and the comparison worked a treat. It is all great fun.

One of mine was the... continue to full article.

Is forum handle as a name in comment section sufficient? Or must we mention in the body of comment as well?

Hope so.. I didn't sign mine since my forum handle and name in the comment section are the same.  Regardless, leaving that comment was its own reward.  Chakka chakka chaaa
