Emergency, Tue 26 April 2022
Re: Poças, Tue 26 April 2022
Sorry will have to postpone this - Joao Monteiro is no longer available and he was going to fill some of the gaps.
We could go with what we have but I feel it would be a stronger tasting with Pocas representation

Is there some other purpose to which we could usefully put the date?

How about a Warre vertical? Phil was commenting the other day that we haven’t had a Warre vertical for a while.

BF should be cancelled - Joao Monteiro left Pocas earlier this year and we were dependent on him for a few of the VP's

I’m declaring a substitute ‘emergency’ to be held at the B&F on Tue 26th April 2022. Theme: bring Port. I’m in, and bringing a magnum.
Confirmed attendees have until 21:00 on Thu 7th April to join the emergency, after which it will be opened to all comers.

Date looking unlikely for me.
Last minute attendance may be possible, but please assume for now that I won't be there.

I’m unlikely. Rather too many tastings and dinners at the moment for domestic bliss…

Re: Emergency, Tue 26 April 2022
It seems I have to be in London for a 9am meeting on 27th April. This makes it much more likely that I will be able to attend. Please change my status to “probably”.Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑17:16 Wed 06 Apr 2022 I’m unlikely. Rather too many tastings and dinners at the moment for domestic bliss…

I see I am now a 'Martinez 1985'. By coincidence I have a case of it arriving tomorrow. Hurrah!

Reconfirming. Thx.

First post believed to be correctly updated. Pls verify.
Blind or sighted? Or semi-sighted: bringer to reveal type, and either shipper or year, but not both?
I vote semi.

I vote semi. I've never done a semi-tasting.
Re: Emergency, Tue 26 April 2022
Yup. Semi sounds interesting.
