7.30 all good for me too.

I think my travel plans will allow me to join this tasting if there is room? Any particular theme or just something you want to enjoy at home? Best wishes to all and I hope you and your families stay safe and healthy.

As long as you will always be able to buy at least 3 bottles of port a day each we ‘should’ all be okay.

I have seen Cockburn 2014 LBV in my local Asda recently, but it was at the £13 price.

Could we have suggestions from non-attendees of topics that we can discuss tonight which aren't COVID-19 related?

The British government can borrow for 50 years at an interest rate of about 1%. What are the good long-term investments for which the government should borrow?

Euthanasia Centres?

Andresen?

Skeffington?

Yes please... I have a Dow to offer

Confirmed...but accept I will most likely be replaced as I am unlikely to have a bottle to offer for this part of the tasting.

Confirmed. Thank you and well done on the navigation Mike. Would like to offer a Warre 1970 if possible.

I am afraid I will now need to withdraw from this wonderful tasting opportunity. All yours Mr Carter.

Yes please

I voted on the morning option but forgot to post. Would be dependant on the date.

Yes please, I think I could make this one. I have a 1970 VP or a wildcard of a 1974 LBV (a previous bottle from the same source was delicious).

As much as I would love to be able to do a tasting at the Factory House [at anytime],... mid summer is unlikely to work for me, but I hope that others get the opportunity to make the chance happen. It seems that this tasting of possibly of possibly the best vintage of our lifetimes (I am expecting i...

I can confirm I would still be interested in this depending on the date. I would like to offer a Warre 70 for my contribution if possible.

Yes please, I have a Yeatman labelled 1992 believed to be Osborne.

Quite liked the spirals, flowers and crosshatching. Not sold on the stars but the bold defining of the main elements is good to my taste a la Flowers.

Personally on the latest iteration for the Rebello Valente tasting, I think the droplets detract from the classic nature of the placemat and is like a very light version of Pollock’s number 14. I am all for pimping up the mats but this one is not for me... thoughts?

I hope to be there by 16.30 to assist however I can.

I am afraid I will no longer be able to make this tasting. I hope Tom will be able to join you and have a bottle that will replace de mine.
I look forward to reading the notes on this interesting vintage comparison.

Yes please... I have a Sandeman ready for this one.

Edit: if DRT is not already sharing his... in which case I would hope to adopt please.

I am afraid I will have to miss out in this tasting yet again. A combination of proposed SWR industrial action that would scupper my travel and unknown as yet timings of some renovation works at the B&B mean that I am unable to commit. Apologies, but I hope one of the reserve list will now have a wo...

Great idea. Yes please, depending on the date.

Can I please abstain from food on this tasting. Unfortunately to be able to make the tasting I need to catch the train up from Weymouth in the afternoon and then travel back the same evening as I have a lot of bookings for breakfast the next day. My last train is 9pm from Waterloo so I will be leavi...
