Suggested theme - a bottle of 1970VP sighted, no duplicates, No Hutcheson!
Any interest?
(A invitation was sent to London tasters.)

Just had a Delaforce on friday. Very nice drinker, probably one of the best Delaforces.
Need to check date for a bit.

The telepathy was correct.
I can (easily) offer Dow, Mackenzie, Martinez or Sandeman. I could dig something else out of storage if necessary.
Top Ports in 2019 (so far): Cockburn 1947 and Quinta do Noval Nacional 2017
2018 Ports of the year: São Leonardo 1927 White Port (Bottled 2018), Quinta do Noval Nacional 1994

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?

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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?
