Did anyone take any pictures of the Bicentenary Crusted, or at least make a note of the year in which it was bottled?

Pics are further back in the thread here. Bottled 2008.

First post updated with a first pass at who might bring what in bold and underlined, with a view to avoiding the need for anyone to bring more than one from 66. We can complete this in the next week or two. Currently F66 is the tricky one, unless Julian turns out to have twelve dozen of these in the...

Yes, yes, but I think we know someone there by name.

See your email.

Thanks Phil. I'll shoot them a message.

Yes, yes, but I think we know someone there by name.

Right, finally catching up on this thread. In case you have missed it, we've decided to press ahead with the 17 June for this. Top post updated to include AHB. Now, if we can just persuade a couple more people to come along, then we can handle 12 bottles between 9 people I think. I'd rather stick to...

Very enjoyable evening - many thanks to all for the great company. A quick summary of the scores. Wine of the Flight (Flight 1: 1948-1977), 1955 followed by 1970 then 1966. Points also for FG58, 1963 and 1948. Wine of the Flight (Flight 2: 1980 - 1994, Crusted, Waterloo), 85 Mag, 1994, 85 single. Ve...

I'll bring a Warre 63.

The Wine Searcher article mentions that Dow Bomfim will be released, so this has been added to the first post. I had it confirmed yesterday that Wine Searcher was wrong, that only Vesuvio and Senhora da Ribeira will be released by SFE. Really? Not even Malvedos, Cavadinha, Bomfim for late release? ...

Bicentenary Crusted and the '92 both decanted. All seems well.

Yes please. I'm sure I can find something to fit the theme!

Tom was not sure if he would make it. I'll drop him an email and find out if he can.

Confirmed. Will be there at 5.30pm!

The food order for the event is now complete for confirmed attendees. Let me know if there are any mistakes with your order.

Thanks Dave. I should be able to confirm later today if my meeting has moved and can also get there for 5.30.

Edit: perhaps we skip the Waterloo if only 12? Warerloo appropriate to the date: perhaps instead skip 1994? Bicentenary also appropriate for the date. I'd quite like to see where the 94 has got to, given it is supposed to be a belter. Perhaps sacrifice the Waterloo=£12 reserve ruby...can be sampled...

Next Tuesday I am tied up at the office until around 6pm, which means getting to the B&F for about 6.30pm. Given the number of bottles and the full quota of attendees, some pre-pouring is likely to be helpful. Is anyone able to get there a bit early, and is anyone able to get there a bit early ...

My work commitments on Tuesday and Wednesday do not include dinner on Tuesday night so I am now confirmed and have reflected that in an edit to the quote of Mike's first post above... There's too much of a gap between the oldest and the next oldest if I bring the 1896 so instead I propose to bring ...

Top post updated with various amendments. Two spare slots available, which may or may not be filled by THRA and RDA. So as things stand, 17 equivalent 75cl bottles shared between 12-14 people. What's not to like?

What scope to negotiate on the last stumbling block?

Excellent. We're in good shape with supplies...just bring yourself! We're averaging and splitting the costs.

I think I've got a case of 92 at home - I'll check tonight. Suggest we revert back to the one 70 from THRA/RLC. I do indeed have a 92, so that is sorted. I am working on also having a 94 in time for Tuesday. Julian - hold off on placemat updates for the moment until I can confirm one way or the oth...

Nothing on the website yet.

I've been rather absent of late, but this caught my eye and if the planets align (meaning I am granted a pass and a space at the table remains!) I would love to join you! You're in! Pass permitting :) Got any Fonseca 1920? :wink: The 'wifely' pass is looking promising. If the ticket is a bottle of ...
