Sorry for long delay I suck at communications
I have been looking foward to my second port night for a while.
As mentioned earlier in thread and my g-man I would need to source, otherwise you name the time and place and I will be there.
G-man are you heading in from work or home? If at home I can meet you there.

Decanting Time
I am glad to hear that Different Dave is making the tasting. Six works just fine.
Decanting times? My thought is about four hours before the tasting (for those of us who have the flexibility). What do you think Eric and others?
P.S. Jeff, did you send Dave directions?

Julian:
A correction. The Fonseca is also unfiltered. They just started making unfiltered LBV's.
Jay:
FYI: As far as decanting times goes, I will have to decant mine before I leave for work in the morning, so mine will be decanted for around 9 hours.
Different Dave:
Did you want to adopt one of mine? Here's what I have to choose from: Sao Pedro 1997, Quinta da Peca 2000 and Quinta do Santa Eufemia 2000. Let me know if you want to adopt any of those.

One filtered, for comparison, would be worthwhile.

I just picked up a Dow 2001, which is filtered. As Julian suggested, we should have at least one filtered LBV for comparison, so how about I bring the Dow instead of the Fonseca and allow Dave to adopt that instead. So I would be contributing the Javali and the Castelinho, and Dave would be contributing the Dow. Does that work for everyone?
Dow 2001 LBV instead of Fonseca 2001 LBV

do you think we can replace the Caselinho 1997 (Eric); with the Fonseca 2001 .
That way we have a mini 01 horizontal of LBVs?

Placemats updated. Somebody please check (and admire the new technology).
All in order
Julian, everything looks fine. I especially like the different typefaces for unfiltered and filtered LBVs. A nice visual touch.
Re: All in order
Thank you for noticing. They aren’t quite different typefaces though; they’re just switched from inside to outside.jfacciol wrote:Julian, everything looks fine. I especially like the different typefaces for unfiltered and filtered LBVs. A nice visual touch.

I would join you with a virtual contribution, but nasty Derek has locked away all my LBVs somewhere cold, damp and dark and says I can't have them back for at least 5 years.
