This one snuck up quickly! I assume we're going ahead with the Grahams in attendance, although the chatter on here has been a little quieter than the 85s thread. Neil, are we good to go? Which wines would you like us to bring?

Excellent, thanks.

@ rich_n - you're in!

Wonderful! I have the Dow and while that seems a popular option I would rather bring a bottle than adopt if possible.

Same, I thought I was third on the confirmed attendee list but that now seems to be a blank spot

I would like 4 bottles of the bog standard stuff please!

I would like to reconfirm, I can make this date.

Reconfirming, thanks.

Apologies, misread the date and I don't think I can make this.

Hi Julian, just a heads up that I can't make this date. Have fun!

I would love to join! Might need to work out where I'll stay, but I can sort something out.

Less of a latest buy and more of a "latest arrival", with the 2018 wines finally making it safely to our shores. The Guimaraens is in 375s, I'm looking forward to regularly sampling those over the next couple of decades and seeing how they evolve. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220130/...

Good work on 1000, to you and NAC! Always a pleasure to see you around the place.

If the order isn't set yet, could I up this to 4 bottles please?

I would like to reconfirm, still with the same bottles available.

If it's possible to get a couple of bottles that would be great, thanks!

I can make the 5th May date so I would like to reconfirm please.

(Also just a note - Alex, the date at the bottom of that first post appears to be the old one)

The Churchills are struggling with availability and have asked it we could do this Tuesday 1st March (as both Johnny & Jamie will be in the UK). Just checking availability with B&F, but what's the view on this date? I can make it. The Quevedo event is scheduled the evening before but that l...

Given the possibility that the Churchill event may have to be on the 1st March due to limited availability on their side, would we want to move this or have the two on back to back evenings?

I think I'll have to decline, given my limited options to call on friends spare rooms in London. Looking forward to the 97s when that happens though.

Sorry gents, not on a Monday for me.

So, it’s just over two weeks until this tasting. Given current COVID concerns, do attendees want to go ahead with this or should we push it back until later in the year? I’m happy to go ahead with it, but appreciate that some might be less enthusiastic, so would prefer to postpone if it means we ge...

Great, looking forward to it!

I only just realised this is tonight. Will anyone be around to jump on a Zoom afterwards?

I can confirm that if we're able to go ahead I can definitely attend.

Today has been an enjoyable selection:

- NV Tattinger Reserve
- 1985 Dow
- 1981 Kopke Colheita

Merry Christmas!

Yes please!

<Edit> I can provide the 05 and 09 Grichas, obviously - same as everyone that that subscribed to Port.Club year 1.
