I have, while stocking up on something else, spotted at the same source and acquired a bottle of Churchill Agua Alta 1992; which is now additionally proffered for this tasting.

In the unlikely event that I make it off the reserve list, the only 1992 I have is Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo.

I am just touching base with you in regards to your provisional Port Forum booking on for the 12th of May.

Can I just confirm whether this is going ahead and whether you will be pre ordering?
JDAW wrote:Hello Kate.

Yes yes, the 1992 horizontal on Tue 12 May is very much keenly anticipated.

We always pre-order if there are more than a few of us. But it feels rather early, perhaps even very early, to be pre-ordering 104 days in advance. When do you want us to pre-order?
Kate wrote:Thank you for confirming the 12th of May. I’ve just returned to the reservations role and I seem to have a lot of provisional Port Forum bookings, so I’m trying to establish which ones are going ahead.

There is of course no need to pre order now. 2 weeks in advance will suffice.

You’ve been made first reserve, swapping places with IDJ.

As remarked elsewhere, this is likely to be cancelled. By which I mean postponed — I still want it to happen, even if less soon than intended.

As a result of a fortuitously-priced recent auction, I have now also acquired Fonseca.

Should this be rescheduled and become an attendee, now also have Niepoort.

Would this be better next year some time and another tasting replacing it for this year?

Agree that next year would be the obvious time for a '92 tasting - not that we couldn't have more than one ofc, but I suspect we will have quite a few others we might also like to have this year if we are able.

Works for me - although I don’t think I still have the bottle I offered…
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

and the BFT will be 31 Mar 2022.

Sounds sensible; but since I couldn't make the original date, I'm not on the list; reserve please.

A quick check of the wine cabinet reveals that I have an untouched bottle of Canais 1992. It now has a big label on it saying "NOT TO BE OPENED UNTIL APRIL 2022"
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Done.


There were two industry guests. The one I had invited hadn’t replied, so has been ejected. The one AHB invited is now the Industry Guest. Meaning that MPM has been promoted from the reserves to become an attendee.
