Current draft of the placemats.

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.

With adequate notice since most is in off-site storage, I could get my hands on Berry Brothers, Churchill (but only in halves,), la Rosa, Dow, Eira Velha (Martinez), Fonseca, Gould Campbell, Graham, Graham Single Harvest Tawny, Martinez, Niepoort, Noval, Paxton & Whitfield, Quarles Harris, Ramos Pinto, Smith Woodhouse (but only in halves), Taylor, Tesco, Vesuvio, Warre and Warre Traditional LBV. I have some 1994 non-Port too, if that is of any relevance.

yes please

Of those not already offered I can add Offley, Kopke, Burmester and Ramos Pinto Quinta da Ervamoira

Looks like it should be a good session

Yes please.
Currently to hand qLR and RO, and in storage F, G, W, V.
Also Q94c and G94c, though either or both might be drunk this summer.

I have:
Chuchill, Croft, Dow (2022 release), Gould Campbell, Graham ("normal" & 2022 release), Martinez, Quinta do Passadouro, Quinta de la Rosa, Taylor, Warre ("normal" & 2022 release)

Yes please

Of those not already covered I can offer Ck, Df and Ca, although only the first of these is readily accessible. If you want to take a chance, I also have Ni in mag.

Can I join in please .... I have Fonseca LBV and VP, Taylors, Martinez, Dows, Quinta de la Rosa & Quevedo Colheita

Stick me down - have most shippers

Yes please, I have Dows, Grahams, Noval, Sandemans, Taylors and Tesco!

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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