Thank you to those that have expressed interest in attending the 2nd Annual Doty Cup. We are in the process of finalizing the menu with the Square (http://www.squarerestaurant.com/), but we're agreed in principle for Friday, the 21st of March @ 7pm.
We have agreed 135 per person all in (they've apparently had a price increase since 2011!) for the food/service/tax/etc. I am supplying the bottles, with a 'celebrity shot' generously sponsored by RAYC (defending his 2013 Doty Cup Title) We have already heard from a few of you who cannot make that date. I am sorry that you will need to wait until 2015 for your shot at the cup. We will toast in your honor.
The format will be broadly similar to last year's tasting, with 6 flights of two wines, all served double blind, a small 'ted-ish' presentation from each guest, followed by a discussion of the wines, voting, and the presentation of the Cup/prize. One likely change is that as the line-up this year includes a number of port novices, the wine fights will have a broader distribution than last year.
Attendees:
1.) King Doty
2.) 13Champ
3.) Crown Princess Ahmed (TBC)
4.) Prime Minister
5.) H. Potter
6.) American Richard
7.) Tokyo Tim
8.) Director Finkle
9.) Jajow Veteran
10.) Betrayals Sustained
11.) Crown Prince Ahmed
12.) Muggins
Many thanks to JDAW for his famous bespoke placemats/paper trail.
Looking forward to it!
Chris (aka King Doty)
