Hi, Can I bring another friend of mine along who's dabbled with Port please ? His name is Richard C and he will need to adopt - I've briefed him as to the way these things work .... As it happens I've just found two fonseca 1994 lbv's so if it works Richard can adopt from me if that doesn't work th...

Not in London tomorrow so will unfortunately have to decline.

There are at least three (and probably more) spaces still available for this tasting, and potentially a couple of bottles available for adoption.

If you'd like to attend please shout. Newbies welcome!

Chuchill, Croft, Dow (2022 release), Gould Campbell, Graham ("normal" & 2022 release), Martinez, Quinta do Passadouro, Quinta de la Rosa, Taylor, Warre ("normal" & 2022 release)

Confirm still available, and think I still have all the wines listed above.

6 x Warre Cavadinha 2006, directly from SFE, at €16 a piece. These are probably drinking nicely right now, but will probably better in 5 or 10 years. I might wait - or not. Are these available in the UK? Plenty available, but at £35-£40 a bottle. I got a few bottles of the 2005 from Waitrose in lat...

5 x BBR Own Selection (Warre) 1997 @ £33.50 each inc delivery.

I'm good w/c 29th April. Would prefer it not to be Thursday 2nd, but each night is possible.

Aah. Shame.

flash_uk wrote: ↑08:32 Fri 19 Jan 2024 Hmmm. I have a lunch on the 5th, so technically I am available in the evening. Still have the T84LBV mag.

Excellent. Will assume you're coming then.

Or ‘35 at 90 or ‘55 at 70 or ‘65 at 60 or ‘75 at 50 or ‘85 at 40… Or 60 @ 65 maybe? Or 70 @ 55. Oh...I'm supposed to be sorting that one... Given we've only recently done probably the largest ever tasting of 55s, not sure there's a rush for that. And I think CEM is considering do it again anyway.

Or 60 @ 65 maybe?

If plans change, I’ll just have to take the risk that a space comes available for me.

Have added you to the reserve list.

Can I get on the reserve list please ?

Yes.
Won't be early 2024.

I'd like to get the confirmed attendee list sorted fairly soon, so if you're on the "interested" list and haven't confirmed you can make the date please do ASAP. Those marked in bold on the first post are definitely "at the table". List will be updated as availabilities are confi...

I've added you to the "interested" list, but previous comments about number of attendees still apply.

I've added you to the "interested" list, but given that my preference is for this to be only 10 heads, it's unlikely (at the moment) that you'll make it to the table.

A question raised elsewhere, that probably needs asking here...

Should we be thinking about a 1945 @ 80 tasting next year?
Do we have sufficient bottles?
Would it be prohibitively expensive?
Full event for 14 or smaller event?

If we want to do this then I'm happy to organise.

Excellent.

Hi yes I can do the 5th can you add me to the attendance list please

Cheers

You're in. Bottle?

Aldi currently listing Fletcher's 2017 LBV for £8.99 a bottle. If they actually have any to sell, this might be a bargain.

Thanks - will add you to reserve list.

Thanks - will update.

Having just updated the Planner, there is quite a gap between events at the start of February and the end of March. So... I have booked the Red Room at The Boot & Flogger for Tuesday 5th March. If you were previously on the list then please confirm your availability for this new date. Also pleas...

Have just updated the planner. Please let me know if I've missed anything.
