Original planning thread here.

Original planning thread here.

planning on bringing something or looking to adopt?

[Glenn E.]

I can go either way. If you have some options let me know and I'll pick one.

I'll have to check my inventory but I think I have a G70 that I could bring. Or rather, that I could ship to you.

Okay

I can also throw in a cockburn 70

[Glenn E.]

My memory fails me, I do not have a G70.

I have a 1960 Croft or several different 1977s that I could bring (including a Graham), or I could adopt an extra leaker if you have another you'd like to dispense with. I also have a couple of "extra" T70s and I'd be happy to bring one of those if they're not too passé in this crowd.

[g-man]

As a fun little palate wetter, I'll be supplying the Grahams 6 grape and the Noval Black to be tasted along side of port.

Btw, we need to determine a location

Sushi please chime in as i'm sure our out of town guests would be open to wherever.

I will go downstairs later today to survey the situation and identify some leakers. Sadly, i don't think I have any young leakers. We'll just have to drink the old stuff

location, location, location

With only a month left, we need to reserve a place

esp since it's a saturday

If nothign comes to mind, I'll put in a call for North Square again as I liked the really private room.

[jefe7000]

I'm fine with whatever location you decide on, and am aware that food will be $100+/person.

Re the theme - have we decided that it's going to be 'leakers'? If so, I have a '63 Cockburn I can ship in advance, but since there's two of us, I'll need to acquire or adopt another bottle.

If that's not the theme, can we decide soon, so I can acquire and ship a couple of bottles, unless adoption is an option again?

Sandy & Ruth

[Glenn E.]

I'm also fine with whatever location the locals choose, as their choice will be far better informed than any I might make. North Square sounds fine to me, and like Sandy I'm fine with $100-ish per head for food. The incremental cost of even doubling the Port budget doesn't make a significant impact on the cost of my trip - we're staying at the Brooklyn Bridge Marriott for the Crossword Puzzle Tournament, after all.

I'd be happy to adopt a leaker or pre-ship one of my bottles. Adopting a leaker would certainly be easier if you guys have enough of them to go around.

I acutally don't

the 60 is my only leaker

But we do have an emerging 60s theme going on

so let's keep with stuff from the 60s.

Okay all of the taylors have been ordered

we have the 65,66,67,68 and 69 for this tasting

Wow -- this rapidly turned into a pretty impressive tasting. If only we had the 70... and perhaps a 63.

Also, if we're going with north square, and a tasting like this, we have room for people. We might as well open it up a bit.

10 people already Sushi.

Chris hasn't replied back to me yet, so.

Though I'm part of the 65-69 purchase, I do also have a 70 that I could contribute and ship to Jeff. There are 63s available online, but they're at least half again what we're paying for the 65-69 per bottle. 64 also exists - I have one - but I'd rather not contribute my only birthday bottle.

63, 66, and 70 would be the only Taylors; the rest are Vargellas. It will be interesting to see which 67 we're getting - I have had both the Oporto 1970 bottling and a UK 1969 bottling.

[DRT]

Would there be room for one or two Brits armed with suitable contributions beginning with T?

Nothing certain yet, but I'm working on it

i believe the 67 is the BBR 69 bottling.

[SushiNorth]

Slow down, folks, don't ship just yet. Let's see what happens tomorrow at auction. We may have some interesting adds, but i need to see how it all turns out.

[g-man]

i think he meant that they may ship themselves.

in which case, auction or no, we'd love to have them

[Glenn E.]

I meant that if a couple of Brits show up, including Derek, then we might need more than our usual one bottle per person.
