If everyone can make sure I've got you down for the right Port. If not please indicate the change as soon as possible.

I was planning on bringing only the Martinez '70, not the Cockburn '67.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

The placemats will be based on the first post; please ensure that it is correct.
Re: Tuesday, October 8th, London, "Bring a bottle to share"
With Alex opting for the Martinez and not the Cockburn, can I be put down for a Cockburn '70?

I can print and bring, but the latest that I can print will be Friday 4th. If I print, no changes after that date will be reflected in the tasting mats.

Re: Tuesday, October 8th, London, "Bring a bottle to share"
In addition to the Ca35, I will also bring a drop of claret (ullaged bottle, 4th growth, has-been year for Bordeaux, so don't expect too much.. - but nice label!)

As long as it looks good on the outside. Of course, we could add a couple drops of VP to it and spice it up if need be LOLuncle tom wrote:In addition to the Ca35, I will also bring a drop of claret (ullaged bottle, 4th growth, has-been year for Bordeaux, so don't expect too much.. - but nice label!)

Re: Tuesday, October 8th, London, "Bring a bottle to share"
Ca35 stood up and ready, but as this is a really unusual bottle, I think I'll decant it at the table, so people can photo it, capsule 'n' all.
Currently plan to be on parade at 6pm - what time are others showing?

Re: Tuesday, October 8th, London, "Bring a bottle to share"
I think i could fill the spare circle with a bottle, if there's space for me at the table. If not, no worries - i will do the things i should be doing....
Have stood a Vargellas 69 (unknown stock), a Quarles Harris 1970 (ex-cellars at some point within the last 5 years), a Roeda 1970 (good stock) and a Graham 1960 (same stock as this) to choose from. I won't open unless someone vaguely in charge confirms there's space. Subject to that, feel free to state preferences...

We have nine people, and our fearless leader is on a plane from California. So we must take a decision without him.
You’re in.
Please select a bottle for my choice the CR70, but others might have a different preference for prompt updating of placemats.
Edited to remove people-counting error.

Re: Tuesday, October 8th, London, "Bring a bottle to share"
I think the loose 1970 theme rules out the Vargellas 69 on the basis that either (i) one of the more infrequently-drunk 1970s should be brought for consistency or (ii) a solid port from another major vintage should be brought for variety.
I have multiple bottles of each, so someone else can choose. The Croft Roeda would be a fine choice and i will go with that unless strong preferences to the contrary are expressed before your cut-off point

Croft decanted at 7am. Aiming to be there for 6.30pm; if the Ca35 is opened before I arrive, someone please take pics!uncle tom wrote:Ca35 stood up and ready, but as this is a really unusual bottle, I think I'll decant it at the table, so people can photo it, capsule 'n' all.

Re: Tuesday, October 8th, London, "Bring a bottle to share"
Apologies - on wiping clear the cellar grime, it turns out my Roeda 70 is in fact a Roeda 67 (Roeda 70s must have gone to Big Yellow...)
I'll bring the Quarles unless people want something else from my list.

Re: Tuesday, October 8th, London, "Bring a bottle to share"
I'd go for the G60 or TV69 from your proposed options over the QH70, but this is just my personal bias away from QH; however others may not feel the same, and the QH70 probably fits better with the 70-horizontal-ish theme.RAYC wrote:Apologies - on wiping clear the cellar grime, it turns out my Roeda 70 is in fact a Roeda 67 (Roeda 70s must have gone to Big Yellow...)
