I vote that Alex buys either Vargellas, or Malvedos, or Noval.

Any preferences between these three?

Maybe.

Maybe, please.

My quick count says that it is now full. Please could somebody check that?

Yes please.

Tastings fill up fast.

Permission granted for either date. Not sure whether I can fairly interpret the permission as being for both.

1978? 1982? But not 2009?

1989: Axelʼs comment was too gentle.

What data determined 1756 but not 1757? (See TH chapter.)

What data determined 1765?

a placemat can be 1.5 of A4 paper, so at tasting time, we could potentially fit a few more settings in.

People are wider than 1×A3 = 2×A4 = 420mm.

You would have hated it.

Warre vertical?

Yes please.

This is the sort of leadership that we like to see. Agreed. And thank you. (The ’70 babies might have been born in a good Port year, but you’ve excelled them in competence.) Re tiering, eleven years ago we were very impressed with both Cálem and Cálem Foz, both of which were candidate WOTE (‘Event’...

Previous day, previous week: either would have been excellent for me.

Yes please.

Evening prior, North Korean style, now has 100% of the votes.

But if the consensus is different, I'll still go with it.

on the limit of what it is possible to taste in one day.

Thirty-five bottles, between fourteen people, was the top limit of what my eleven-years-younger self could do.

I will message you this evening.

I might have some interest — and work in central London, simplifying delivery.

Please, how many are there of each?

I’m have a mostly dry January, which achieves most of the health benefits (which, of course, are none), without forcing me to miss events (broadly defined). I like the idea of free pour (be restrained about portion size), with a 2pm start. There needs to be an organiser who is to decide the date, fo...

Hello Harry. As Alex said, come drink with us.

One of mine is only a half.

So quite moderate really.

If a couple of late additions might be acceptable- self plus OJW. If acceptable - OJW food order same as my standard, save that steak medium-rare as opposed to medium-well.

Placemats: +GEAG; +OJW.

apologies but I have to drop out of this tasting as work matters developed in an unfavorable way. Enjoy!

Placemats: −WPS.

The placemats updated again.

Please could our organiser ensure that we will have enough glasses for nine people and eleven Ports.
