Re: Quinta de la Rosa LBV and Vintage Third Time Lucky - 10th May ?

Hi we only have 10 at present - we need a few more to justify the number of bottles. I also need to confirm with Sophia in the next week or so. I have (nearly) all of the Ports and will supply in exchange for a small donation to charity (of my choosing). Do some of the reserves want to step forward?...

Re: Quinta de la Rosa LBV and Vintage Third Time Lucky - 10th May ?

nac wrote: 18:20 Thu 03 Mar 2022 Yes, 10th May OK.

Only think to (maybe) be aware of is that it's the Quevedo Closure tasting the following evening.
Yes - she had 10th or 11th May

For me - it means I can stay over (although I am reserve for Quevedo)

Re: Churchill Tasting, 1st March 2022

Need to check but I am little embarrassed on lack of Churchill in my Cellar - only have 2011 to hand.
Will check Monday but may need to adopt.

Dia's Wedding

One of our members (Dia) got married today. I am sure that you would like to join me in wishing her and James all the best....
To make it more relevant here is the Bride and Groom posing with a bottle of Niepoort 1985 (which was above expectations.).

Re: Poças, Tue 26 April 2022

Sorry will have to postpone this - Joao Monteiro is no longer available and he was going to fill some of the gaps.

We could go with what we have but I feel it would be a stronger tasting with Pocas representation
