At the Coronation tasting we discussed the absence of forthcoming tastings, and suggestions were made, including a 1994 horizontal (and ’66, G|GM). You know what to do.

Previous 1994 horizontals: 11 Dec 2007 at Bistro Citron in New York (Columbus and 83rd); 08 Sep 2009 at the New Cavendish Club; 11 June 2019 at the B&F; 16 Nov 2021 at the B&F.

Can I please go on the reserve list
I can provide Fonseca or Taylor’s from memory

[Mike J. W.]

On the extreme off-chance that I can fly to London for this (I'm probably going to be in London around June 8-9 of 2024, so twice in one year might be pushing it), please put me on the reserve list. I have many of the '94's already listed but I also have a Burmester and a Quinta Do Crasto, which aren't on the list yet.

[pommy42]

I would love to be added to the reserves list for this too! =)

[BRPetrie]

Please may I be added to this - I can offer smith woodhouse!

[Alex Bridgeman]

Our guest has requested that he be permitted to bring the Dow for the tasting.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Julian, we should revive the thread organising this tasting. If you want me to step in and take over, I'm happy to do so - just let me know.

[hadge]

I have just realise that this is the Easter week and therefore i can't make it.
