London, week commencing 14 or 21 September

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Derek is organising NOT to have an offline the week of 14 September. Apparently he is suffering from Parisian Port Traumatic Stress Disorder and has decided to avoid the purple juice for the rest of his life.

Therefore, he does not want us to organise an offline until next week, at the earliest. Anyone want to meet up week commencing 21st September?

Hi there,

I am in London and would be OK to join in on Monday the 21st of september. What about we finally come round do drink some 1982 port?

Monday 21st would be quite difficult for me. Easier would be Wednesday, Thursday or Friday that week.

While I would be willing and interested to try the 1982s, I don't own a single bottle from that vintage so would have to adopt.

I can do Tuesday or Wednesday
Port is basically a red drink

I will be in London on Wednesday, but think that I will have to pass on an offline next week. Just too much work on at the moment.

Next stop, 2 October for the Warre tasting.
