That would be excellent - three confirmed attendees makes it a proper off-line. If you're adopting Tom's 1959 I'll bring a 1963 and we can make it a birth year double.Cookie wrote:I think I may be persuaded to attend given there is a '59 in the line-upAHB wrote:Tom has confirmed that he should be able to attend the Bung Hole on Wednesday 5th. Anyone else?

Re: Borges muito velho and friends
Again, i would like to, but it will be an on-the-day decision due to work.
I can either adopt, bring red stuff, or bring a bottle of each of the Quevedo 40yr and LBV 06 (the relevance being that both are in the current FTLOP offer...)

Hmm. I subscribed to FTLOP earlier this year, but don't seem to have received info on any such offers, unless I missed something... will have to investigate.RAYC wrote:I can either adopt, bring red stuff, or bring a bottle of each of the Quevedo 40yr and LBV 06 (the relevance being that both are in the current FTLOP offer...)
Re: Borges muito velho and friends
If preferred, i also have a bottle of the Quevedo 2010 VP which is in the offer...RAYC wrote: I can either adopt, bring red stuff, or bring a bottle of each of the Quevedo 40yr and LBV 06 (the relevance being that both are in the current FTLOP offer...)

Re: Borges muito velho and friends
Thanks Rob, I hadn't spotted there was a new one so soon after the last; have looked for a setting to ask it to email me when a new one comes out, but didn't see one; will just have to keep my eyes open better!RAYC wrote:It is in the latest newsletter

Re: Borges muito velho and friends
I suggest that if you're unsure of whether you can make it, that you plan to bring the Quevedo 40yr. The '06 LBV and '10 VP can wait for another day.RAYC wrote:If preferred, i also have a bottle of the Quevedo 2010 VP which is in the offer...RAYC wrote: I can either adopt, bring red stuff, or bring a bottle of each of the Quevedo 40yr and LBV 06 (the relevance being that both are in the current FTLOP offer...)

This FT article, and the Chancellor’s Autumn statement (in Winter), have conspired to ensure that my arrival will be late or not-at-all. Assume the latter.

Re: Borges muito velho and friends
Now returned from a hotel in Tenby where the wifi didn't work...
Will double decant the Borges, and also bring a 1940 colheita. Trains appear to be running on time, so should be on parade c. 6pm
- Sample bottles for those who can't make the event? - I don't have much to hand..
