Sorry guys - I am going to have to back out of this one as I'm now away for that week.

Samples should be with me around first week of June. We have the 1994 mini on 11 June - can I suggest Tuesday 25th June?

I am away for most of May so cannot 'support' a May date - probably too early in the cycle to accumulate samples. June could work quite well... it would inform buying decisions / press etc. so the shippers will be more inclined to support.

No this will not be on that. I need to arrange a date with Miguel - he has just become a father so is a little distracted.

I was thinking about this very topic over the weekend.

We should do this! I am happy to organise (with help).

Last year was a little last minute / ad-hoc. With a little more foresight we can have a greater range of shippers.

w/c 9 September works best on lots of levels.

Great idea - count me in

Yippee - I'm in!
All the easier ones have gone.... I'll see if I can find something.

Yes please. Great idea

Christopher has an 8 bottle case of Vesuvio (vintages 89 onwards) he would very generously like to share with us.
The proposal is to set the bar at 8 attendees (by coincidence we have 8 confirmed) and hand over to Christopher

Yes it would work for me.

70's tasting would be nice and easy. Definitely up for this as Room is booked for 13th - I may have a problem with moving to Valentines day

I'll work out an alternative date with Miguel from Messias. We are both keen to organise this but it will have to be later.

I'll amend the post header.

I will have to postpone this to a later date as we will not have the wines in time - the suggestion is near the BFT.

I still have the room booked if we want to do something else (and a little less logistically challenging).

YEs please

Sorry - feeling under the weather so will have to back out.

Possibly..... was thinking of a dry Jan but 3 days might be more than enough!

A really interesting summary - I like the logic you have applied and the forced constraint of a limited number in the top category.

Would be interested, subject to date; I have only the '70. I would prefer to have RV on a separate occasion (and will be extremely keen to join for that, and have been trying to pick up occasional RV in preparation for this). We could convert this to RV - I just want to put a place-holder down for ...

We have a lack of organised tastings in the New Year!!!

Would anyone be interested in a Krohn vertical? I have a small run of 5 vintages 61-70 not sure what others have in their cellar.
If limited could combine with a Rv run.

Thoughts and offers please.

We have a lot of vintages to cover - any thoughts on how best we should approach this (e.g 2 flights) ?

Note date is now set as 13th Feb
