Warres 1995 LBV. A simultaneous tasting?
Work would make us late, but would that really matter?

I need to visit my stash before the 1 Sep bash to retrieve a couple of Fonseca's so can liberate a 6 pack of WLBV95 then. So, at this point in time I have to last about 2 weeks with only 1 bottle and confine myself to drinking it on a Thursday when you guys get your arse in gear to be there with me

Speaking of which, if this doesn't happen in the next few days, which doesn't appear practical, it'll have to wait until after the Off-Line.
Sideways,
Its a bit late in the day, but have you read the story of that Off-Line? Its an impressive Fonseca Vertical, and there's room for one more. It started off as a general invitation to Forumistas, but its narrowed down to 6 at my house. There's currently 5 attendees. The cost is divisable by the attendees, which would mean the 6th person would have to commit to around £100. The down side, (For me), is that you reduce my share by a 6th!
But it would fill up the chairs on the Patio.

That’s very kind of you to offer Alan, I am at a wedding on the 1st Sep therefore I would not be free to attend. Even if I were free, I feel I am one or two offlines away from having the confidence to attend, its not that I fear I would ‘get in the way’, I’m sure I would enjoy it and everyone would be welcoming but I would prefer it if I was able to contribute something to the evening in the way of personal experience and opinion. This will come in time and taking part in the simultaneous tasting will help.Conky wrote:Speaking of which, if this doesn't happen in the next few days, which doesn't appear practical, it'll have to wait until after the Off-Line.

I am planning to open a bottle of the Warre LBV ’92 tomorrow evening, in almost ten years of writing tasting notes for wine I can’t recall ever writing one for port! I will dig out my WSET course-work for some pointers.

First-timers
Nonsense. There were two first-timers at my Cockburn vertical. Come. Taste. Enjoy. Speak your mind — everyone else will.Sideways wrote:Even if I were free, I feel I am one or two offlines away from having the confidence to attend, its not that I fear I would ‘get in the way’, I’m sure I would enjoy it and everyone would be welcoming but I would prefer it if I was able to contribute something to the evening in the way of personal experience and opinion.

I can imagine…
‘….I was happily sniffing away when suddenly, from out of nowhere came a sneeze, quickly followed by the involuntary spasm of my left leg kicking out at the table with just enough force to displace everyone’s glass’s, making it impossible to deduce what went where on the card and what’s in the glass…… I’ll get my coat.’
Maybe you are right jdaw1, unfortunately the stars are aliened and I will be unable to attend on this occasion.

To be fair though. This one's Not Dinner Jackets, is not organised by Julian, (Although he is a welcome guest), and involves fry ups and beer!
Have a look at Derek fast asleep on my patio (in the Off-Line Thread), and tell me you couldn't rise to that standard!!!
I do understand previous commitments though.
