The Angel's Share: 300 Years of Port's Forbidden Sips

The Angel's Share: 300 Years of Port's Forbidden Sips

Tom and Henry have escaped our London bunker for the season finale and found themselves in glorious Porto, surrounded by the world's finest ports! Join us as Adrian

Bridge, the CEO of Taylor's Port, grants us privileged access to the Factory House - a Georgian-style private club for British port shippers built in 1790. The French pinched all the silverware when they occupied it during the Napoleonic Wars, but there’s plenty of port still in storage. We explore the hallowed halls where port luminaries discuss business and sip their treasures, before touring Taylor's Lodge with its gravel floors and rows upon rows of aging barrels. Adrian reveals how Catherine of Braganza not only brought England her dowry of Bombay but also tea and marmalade (without which English breakfast would be utterly miserable).
