If Irayna has been promoted then congratulations, and much deserved.

Tickets are available, £105 this year. I've bought one.

I'll now try reading to the end of the thread.

This date works for me.

These dates also work for me. Thanks.

I have been trying to resist, but have failed.

Could I also change to the rib eye bone in steak (rare) please. Thanks. It just sounds too good. Yum.

Re-confirm please. Thanks.

I have just found a stapler lurking at the bottom of my rucksack, and I am reminded (my memory was somewhat hazy due to alcohol embracement) that I cleared it up at the end of the evening as the staff at the B+F didn't think it was theirs, assumed it was one of ours, and thought I should reunite it ...

Compared with them, women and men who reported no alcohol use in either survey had a higher risk of...

I have Vesuvio here, and Warre relatively easily available.

Yes please. I will check which 1991s I have to hand, or easily available. Thanks.

Fantastic, very well done. Huge congratulations to Tony and team.

I'd like to add my thanks to Tony and Alex for organising, and to the shippers and producers for sending us some great Ports. What a splendid line up. Great to meet some journalists too. Hopefully some of the less widely drunk Ports can raise their profiles with the various write ups. They deserve t...

I think I can get there for 12 or so.

Do we have a start time for Tuesday? Is it the usual 6.30pm? Start time is 6.30pm Three additional guidelines: - spitting to be encouraged. This is a tasting, not one of our normal drinking evenings. - small sample pours. This is a tasting, not one of our normal drinking evenings. Very sensible. Ce...

Will there be the chance to taste specific wines at the end of the night? I'm looking to try 4 in particular to help with a personal purchasing decision (and would also love to try the other super-cuvees that won't be in my assigned flights). Since this is my first tasting I'll obviously follow wha...

Many for whom 9th July fails. Tom: new date please.

I'm fairly flexible - does a week before or after change things significantly, or do we need to take it to September?

July 2nd or 16th work for me, and Sept OK.

July 9th doesn't work for me, but as I'll be in Porto I'll cope if this date works as the best for everyone else.

I am both delighted and disappointed to have to withdraw from this one. The 2016 version of this was a wonderful tasting and I am gutted to no be able to compare with the 2017s, particularly with the back to back nature of the vintage declarations. But, I am delighted because we finally managed to ...

Very sorry, but I have to withdraw - I now have an event I have to go to. Much less fun, I was looking forward to comparing how these were maturing

Hope you all have a good evening.

Yes please, I would certainly like to come, have liked those few I have tried, but currently have none! I see there are a few on sale, so could obtain something or would ask to adopt if possible.

You're not going blind, nor losing your mind. There was an earlier 2017 thread with an April date and you posted towards the end of it, perhaps after the new thread had been started?

Yes please, an interesting idea. I'm sure Tom has some interesting bottles in his stash! Thanks.

What is value? When you want to buy them today in the uk you have to pay: https://imageshack.com/i/pn6gKLwIj and https://imageshack.com/i/plArG387j So, maybe someone want to buy from you for a very low price? Thank you for posting examples of the highly inflated anniversary market. These do not rep...

I'm still waiting for the day that Julian's Welsh Rarebit arrives at the table as a bowl of molten cheese (plus worcestershire sauce and possibly a touch of mustard, of course) with a piece of toast at the bottom!

This would be perfect for me too, but minus the toast.

Thank you, very interesting, great write up. My mouth is now watering in anticipation, really looking forward to trying these now.
