Tuesday 29th July: Bring a bottle to share
There seems to be a bit of a summer lull in London tastings. Is there any appetite (or thirst) for an informal evening at the BH or is everyone busy watching Wimbledon, World Cup or Cricket? I keep hearing the siren call from some of my bottles (could also be tinnitus), and thus like a moth to a flame, there can be only one outcome, an experience which would be greatly enhanced in the company of other Lepidoptera.
Poor attempt at allegory aside, let me know if anyone is around and interested on Tues/Weds in July.

Re: Bring a bottle to share
I was having very similar thoughts today. I'm defintely interested in meeting up at TBH in July for some port.
However, my diary looks horrid over the next month - I could make 29 or 30 July, 29 would probably work a little better than the 30th.
Anyone interested in meeting in Leeds on 15th July? No, thought not...

Tuesday 8th and Wednesday 9th work for me (unless The Boss tells me, or has already told me and I have forgotten, to the contrary).PopulusTremula wrote:let me know if anyone is around and interested on Tues/Weds in July.

Re: Bring a bottle to share
Both would work for me. But 29th is better
Re: Bring a bottle to share
Tentative for 29th. 9th no good for me.

Re: Bring a bottle to share
I have edited the first post to list the potential dates and attendees. Looks like 29th is the one.
Re: Bring a bottle to share
Tuesday 29th July is also good for me.

Re: Bring a bottle to share
No preference for either of these over the other but count me in.

Re: Bring a bottle to share
Can't do the ninth, but most other days do-able.

Re: Bring a bottle to share
Is there a compelling reason that we need to restrict ourselves to just one such event?

Re: Bring a bottle to share
cannot do this week but can maybe do the 29th. Not sure though yet. Do we do port or also wine? The thread is not clear cut!
Would like to do an offline in August, what about the 20th or 27th?

You say that the thread isn't clear cut, and in the very next line you turn it into an organising thread for a tasting in August! Honestly...WS1 wrote:cannot do this week but can maybe do the 29th. Not sure though yet. Do we do port or also wine? The thread is not clear cut!

Wolfgang: My proposal of a get together, which i had hoped you could attend, was intended to be towards the informal end of the tasting spectrum with sighted bottles of port. I had also planned to bring a bottle of Portugese dry red wine to share when eating and would not object to others bringing non-port.
I have edited the original post to update attendees. I am no longer available tomorrow (9th July) as I am required on the home front.
Re: Bring a bottle to share
Taken it as read that the 9th was not going ahead (I should have put my hand up to propose 17 July as am up in town on that afternoon in any respect). Am also amenable to Wolfgang's suggested dates for an August on-line.

Function room not available at TBH, have booked a table for 8 in the restaurant from 6pm. This will hopefully be OK considering the intended informality of the event but please let me know if not.
