Alas Boris says I should not attend..... One of the children in George's class has been taken ill - so I won't risk it. Sorry - I cannot get the Fonseca or Warre to B&F in time. To put a little flesh on the bone - there is a confirmed case and also a suspected case in my children’s social circles s...

If anyone is out of pocket for the deposit let me know.

One of the children in George's class has been taken ill - so I won't risk it.

Unless Boris decrees otherwise, I am still planning on attending.

Port legends - Iconic ports of the 20th C (or even 19th). E.g. Ck12, Cr45, T48, N31, F66, F27 etc. Small gathering... perhaps 8 max??

I will bring two halves of Warre adopted by Julian

As Infantado is not of the highest repute, I should adopt as well. What is available? We are missing Warre from the line-up. Perhaps you could adopt that from Tony? Sorry - I no longer have the Warre. Would two half bottles W suffice? Let me know what you want - I have Ni, RP, V, C, S, Burmester(ha...

Just checked, and all I have from either is Wiese & Krohn Colheita 1957.

Thanks for checking - I'm trying to avoid the Colheitas - which these shippers are more famous for. Otherwise it would be easy.

I have
Kopke 27 (?), 48, 60, 70 (st Luiz), 80, 83, 87 (st Luiz), 89, 92 (st Luiz), 94 (possibly)
Krohn 61, 65, 67, 70

I would like to organise a Kopke/Krohn Vintage Port mini-vertical in July. A small delegation from the Port Forum went to St Luiz last year where we had a splendid tour of the estate and a 3 hour "lunch" and tasting. A, year on, I thought it would be fitting to have a Kopke tasting. The Krohn is an ...

Yes - please delete the duplicate.

I have

Barros
Burmester
Croft Roeda
Kopke
Warre
Dow
Taylor
Fonseca
Niepoort
SW
GC

Let me know what you need (soonish) and I will put them aside.

Yes please - need to be quick these days

Yes please

Berrys own selection - 1970 and a few others.

Moving on to assembling the cast. Tier 1 should be easy... From Tier 2 I have: - Burmester (Library release) - BBR Own Selection (same case 2 bottles) - Delaforce (same case 2 bottles) - Roeda (Magnum) - Gonzalez Byas (same case) - Messias Cachao (same case) - I am pretty sure Messias only produced ...

This is going to be a challenge to put this together - the saving grace is that it will only need to be one bottle.

At the moment from Tier 3 - I have Royal Oporto, Dalva, Santos Junior and Borges. I'll put them aside as I suspect they will be adopted. I'll keep an eye out for any others.

Works for me

Yes please Given you're first on the reserve list, I'd suggest there's a fairly high probability you'll get bumped up. As such, probably worth letting me know potential wine availability... A quick look shows as 20, 22*, 27*, 34, 45, 46*, 47, 48, 63, 66, 70, (70 Private cellar), 77 etc. * Only one ...

Yes please

25th would work for me

Having missed the last one, it would be nice to meet up. Count me in.

Mike - well done on driving this forward.
You approach seems pragmatic. It would be nice to run this for as many as possible.

QH, W, Ni, Feuerheerd, T(vv), F, S, Ck, V.... maybe some others.

Yes please
