I think that there will be a spot available. Let me check tomorrow.

Hi Phil
Looks like there was a gap at 8 - over to you.

Decanted 12:30
1911 is Harveys - fragile... fingers crossed....
F60 back-up OK.

Hi Phil

Slow off the blocks - please add me to the waiting list.

Nice find on the N58 though, Ian.

I have anticipated that this will be difficult to fill for some. More than happy for others to adopt.

Mz58 would be good alongside the N58

Ian - absolutely no problem with a N58.....

FIRST POST UPDATED

I am away for a large part of May - I need to shape this up.
Can you let me know what you would be able to bring ?
If you do not have any 8's I can probably fill the gaps.

Hi May I bring a F60 ?

Food order
Crab starter
Steak medium rare with a side order of green beans.

Hi Axel
F66 from me.

BURMESTER DECLARES 2016 VINTAGE PORT Burmester has announced the launch of its 2016 Classic Vintage Port, a challenging year that ended up producing exceptional wines. In keeping with the brand’s identity and the profile established throughout its history, Burmester is launching a Vintage Port loade...

Hi
Cornish crab please
Steak medium rare - side order of green beans

Can I bring a F77 ?

Assuming others can fill some of the easier years - I have:

68 - S, Fg
58 - W, Mz, Gm
48 - T, F, G
38 - only Tawny
18 - possibly?
08 - none
18xx some

Personally speaking... I like the purity of the theme 2008, 1998, 1988, 1978, 1968, 1958, 1948, 1938, 1908, 1899, 1898, 1897, 1896... (which was the original intention). I can fill most of the years if necessary (except 1908)

Is there a 1960 theme? I recently acquired a batch of 1911 "something" VP.... which, I believe, is another significant Royal event (Coronation). It seems fitting to open a bottle on this occasion. Given the bottle condition is not perfect, I will also bring a reserve (probably a 1960...! ).

At last... a date I can make - Is there space for one more?

I did get the Ck12 from Bonhams - It wasn't cheap!
Let me know....

Hmmm - not quite what I had in mind.
Ending in 8 might be more along the lines (exceptions for anything 18XX)

Set for Week commencing 23rd October 2019. Miguel from Messias and myself have arranged for 23rd October. There is no need to contribute physical bottles as Miguel is providing most of the ports gratis. Where I have had to fill some gaps (I am still struggling with the 63) there will be a nominal co...

OK B&F Now booked for the 5th June Some comments on the theme would be useful. either: a) we try and construct a vertical of examples from years ending with an '8' b) we go for a 'blind' bring a bottle with an 8 in the vintage as suggested by Alex. Please confirm availability for the evening and...

HI Simon
I have now confirmed for the 5th - and unfortunately I cannot make the week after - Sorry!

27 confirmed and put aside - Don't get too excited about the '12... proving a little difficult to locate.
