Are the 1963s coming into their second wind?

Tuesday 3^rd April (being the day after Easter Monday)? Tuesday 10^th April?

Theme: 1963s, sighted, no duplicates, no awful shippers — recalling the excellent tasting on 2 Nov 2017:

Suggested theme - a bottle of 1970VP sighted, no duplicates, No Hutcheson!

Any interest?

(A invitation was sent to London tasters.)

[forest26]

Yes please - great idea.
Dow’s / warre’s or something else

We are not available on 3rd as still in New Zealand...10th is favourite...will need to check but likely S'63 from me...Kate will be in attendance as well...will provide details of her contribution at a later date.

[CPR 1]

Yes please, Graham or Warre for me.

[flash_uk]

Yes please, but only the 10th works for me. Croft.

Tuesday 10^th April 2018. For which date I have just booked the Red Room.

[uncle tom]

Count me in - will bring the Noval

[WS1]

I should be able to make that, please put me down for this tasting. I would bring a Cockburn.

Just had a Delaforce on friday. Very nice drinker, probably one of the best Delaforces.

Need to check date for a bit.

KMH will need to adopt please.

[DaveRL]

Yes please, but I would need to adopt.

[PhilW]

Sounds like a plan; please count me in. Will check what '63s I have, though I know it is very few.

[idj123]

Yes please! Does OBV count as an 'awful shipper's?

[jdaw1]

We are thirteen: almost full.

Yes please! Does OBV count as an 'awful shipper's?

Offley welcome.

[AHB]

The telepathy was correct.

I can (easily) offer Dow, Mackenzie, Martinez or Sandeman. I could dig something else out of storage if necessary.

[jdaw1]

I can (easily) offer Dow, Mackenzie, Martinez or Sandeman. I could dig something else out of storage if necessary.

Please, Mackenzie. Several adoptions are required. Would you be willing to allow adoption of a Martinez?

Others: please say what you’ll allow to be adopted.

Will bottles÷people at 1.0 be sufficient? Should the team adopt from those with multiples?

[CPR 1]

Happy to provide a Warre for adoption

[uncle tom]

Others: please say what you’ll allow to be adopted

I have 17 shippers of '63

Possible candidates for adoption not already confirmed:

Borges
Constantino
Dow
Feuerheerd
Fonseca
Graham
Warre

- And if anyone's feeling generous, I could also supply a Nacional at moderate cost..

[jdaw1]

Thank you. Please can the Fonseca be adopted, after which the Constantino?

And if anyone's feeling generous, I could also supply a Nacional at moderate cost.

Thank you again. But alas ‘moderate’ by the standards of Nacional would still be beyond my budget.

[Doggett]

It appears that this is a tasting I would be foolish to miss. Could I please add my name, and would need to adopt please.

[jdaw1]

Which makes fourteen. Hence this event is full. There will likely be a waitlist.

[uncle tom]

Please can the Fonseca be adopted, after which the Constantino?

No problem. There is a significant value difference between the two - it might be fairer if the adoptees shared the total.

[PhilW]

Sounds like a plan; please count me in. Will check what '63s I have, though I know it is very few.

I have and could bring a Fonseca.

[idj123]

So I believe that means the three adopted bottles being W (from Charles), Mz (from Alex) and Cn (from Tom). However...

Will bottles÷people at 1.0 be sufficient? Should the team adopt from those with multiples?

I agree that with a full complement of 14 people there's a case for adding for adding two or three additional shippers. Not 'pro 14' tier but I'd be willing to throw in Calem Foz, gratis, if it helps?
