Normal Venue B&F
Green Room booked, menu sheet as standard, if different from standard please notify by 1st June

I have lost track of who is in /out but suggest moving to the Red room or The Ovens if possible as the green room will be a squeeze for many more than 6 -8 max

Sorry
Room venue was a typo we are in the big room.
Will go through the kind offers of ports in the next day or so and come back to individuals
Thanks

My alternative arrangements are now in place so I will be unable to attend the 1994 tasting. A shame, as I love this vintage.

Hi Christopher

Would love to be able to join you and/or go on the reserve list if you are maxed ou? Could offer a few but perhaps only doubling up at the moment. So would search out something/offer a buy in,, bring something like a Fonseca or Grahams seeing as it night be interesting to have two, or to keep 94 honest a 92 Fonseca and 95 Vesuvio to see how they stack up?

Hi Nick
Yes that would be fine. Look forward to seeing you
Can you please have a look at then menu and let me know what you would like so can add it to the pre order

Many thanks

I will send an update later this evening. If anyone needs to adopt can they please let me know
Thanks

Great. And will do Christopher. But I note no mention of cheese in any selection. Do I presume that is a given??

By the way the 94s I have are Croft, Dow's, Fonseca, Graham's and Warre's, but to be honest if they are blind, and these already provided, the 2 interlopers I suggested might be fun, but of course your call...

Best

I am going to have to withdraw from this due to a family bereavement. I’ll catch up at the 2017 tasting later in the month.

Christopher, I have not seen the first post being updated with the current guest list (this may well be a device failure my end) but, if you haven't picked up that I would like to be there if there is space, I would like to be there if there is space. As noted above, all I currently have from 1994 is Smith Woodhouse, so would need to adopt/buy in if someone else is bringing that.

Very sorry, but I have to withdraw - I now have an event I have to go to. Much less fun, I was looking forward to comparing how these were maturing

Hope you all have a good evening.

I'm assuming I'll be bringing the Ch94 unless instructed otherwise.

I’ve got my Croft ‘94 standing in readiness for Tuesday. Unfortunately I can’t get there early on Tuesday to help with setup. I could print placemats and drop them in beforehand if needed?

If anyone needs to adopt could they let me know ASAP please.

Unless someone else is bringing one, I will bring the Vesuvio

Christopher is being thoroughly useless at finding the time to update the thread, so I have seized ancient powers and have stepped in to update the list at the top of the thread.

However, to be fairer to Christopher, I know he's having a tough time at work at the moment so I'm doing this to help him out a bit.

Have just noticed that I was first reserve - was invited in, but have noticed now that I am not on the list..

AHB, DRT, DRL and TC have all had to withdraw.

THRA, BMHR, winesecretary and NickA are all keen to attend.

Splendid. Initials GEAG. I will appear at the B&F on the 11th, bringing Smith Woodhouse unless ordered not to. I look forward to it.

First post updated with revised attendee list. There are two spaces available.

Please could people bring the following:
CPR - Fonseca and Eira Velha (the latter for JDAW to adopt and give to AP)
MPM - Croft
GEAG - Smith Woodhouse
JDAW - Ramos Pinto
PW - Churchill
AP - RP to give to JDAW
Nick - Graham
THRA - Vesuvio
IDJ - Skeffington
BMHR, CMAG, RGO - something not on the list already or adopt from Tom

Nick - we don't usually pre-order dessert / savoury so you will be able to order cheese on the night. However, if you want plate of cheese as a starter or main, you'll need to order that in advance. If you look at the Boot & Flogger's website you'll find their cheese menu (a choice of 4).

Patience peeps. It takes even my superpowers time to update posts.

Take a look now and let me know if anything looks wrong.

CMAG - you owe me!

Thanks Alex-happy to bring the Sk94 and may also bring the Tesco.

Suggest adoptions of Dow and Warre to ensure we have all main players present if possible.
