That would be another cracking tasting!
So Jay by himself has, in both 1983 and 1985, Taylor, Warre, Graham, Gould Campbell, and Dow. That would be another cracking tasting!

Then what we need next is a date
Then what we need next is a date. What are people’s constraints?
Jay: at some stage you’re going to have to choose a price for these bottles. Would you like me to do the Wine-Searcher dance for you?

$800 for those ten bottles is, again, generous pricing.

We might or might not be joined by one of my drinking chums, assuming that’s OK with the host. He has very little experience of port.
We ought to be making progress in choosing a date.
We ought to be making progress in choosing a date. My last weekend of September is now blocked, otherwise I’m available.
G-man: please would you communicate with DifferentDave by some means to which he is likely to reply, both for dates and to confirm his house as the location.

We have no kitchen, no bathroom and no walls or floor on main floor, so it looks kinda log cabin-ish.
I do have a new deck in he back yards and a working bar-be-cue so aside from having to use bathroom upstairs we could in theory have it at anytime.
As for cost of food, I will pick up all the eats and work out a per head price.
How are the wedding plans coming?

Saturday 13th September works for me
Think Saturday 13th September works for me: have sought approval from the boss.
I am glad to see that Sean C has most of the 1983s and 1985s. I hope that he can step into my shoes and supply the bulk of the port.
The more I have thought about it, the less likely that I would go as far as Melville for a tasting.
I certainly would not drive and I don't look forward to a return LIRR trip and then the subway (hats off to Eric for doing this trip to northern NJ from NYC).
My apologies to all but I think that I will sit this one out.

Jay: Would it help if I were to carry your luggage?

More seriously team, what 1983s and 1985s do we have within reach (i.e., not in the UK)? I have 1985 Graham’s, 1985 Nacional, and 1985 Warre, but not a single bottle of 1983.
