Yes please could I be added. Sounds like fun.

Excellent - Ramos would be a very welcome addition!

I can now also make 10th September.

Hi still keen to attend this (MJRM). Thanks

Richard Mayson has now also published his review of the tasting:

I am guessing I am too slow to make the cut here but could I be added to reserves please. I have 63/77/94. Thanks.

Yes please could I join this (MJRM). I have Dow 1994 (which you already have), Warre 1994 (1996) and Warre 1970. First two have very strong provenance. Would have to check third.

As a little experiment I recently bought some old bottles of Noval LB (Brightwells for those wondering). I was interested to see how they tasted after something like 50 years in bottle (there is no bottling date but labels/bottles suggest 1960s or early 1970s to me). I just opened the first bottle. ...

A question raised elsewhere, that probably needs asking here... Should we be thinking about a 1945 @ 80 tasting next year? Do we have sufficient bottles? Would it be prohibitively expensive? Full event for 14 or smaller event? If we want to do this then I'm happy to organise. I appreciate it is a l...

I also really enjoyed reading this. Thanks. I too have never tried the 1970 and guess I never will seeing that the only price I could see on Wine Searcher was £2k. I also went back and read some of the older articles. A great way to spend a hour on a Sunday morning. It also left me wondering if ther...

Sorry but I assumed I would not make the cut so have made other plans now for that night. I’ll learn!

We have actually had our 2 main Christmas lunches already as we are heading overseas for Christmas and New Year: Lunch 1: Krug NV (c.2011) - very deep yellow colour, full nose and palate. Great way to start things off. Tickeridge 2014 Classic Cuvee - not Krug but a very good English sparkling Danbur...

I attended the BBR tasting. The evening ran approximately like this: 615-7 White port and tonic pre start 7-730 Charles Symington presented about the company, the wines etc (I saw some of these slides last year but the presentation was different). Everyone stood and watched this in the upper level o...

I am off on holiday on the 16th so cannot attend. Very jealous.

I did not express an interest previously but if spaces open up cor this, could I be added please (MJRM). Thanks.

Ah ok that makes sense. Apologies. I will check the closing price post auction as I guess that might give me a fair indication.

Roriz 1921? Just looking at The Saleroom and a bottle of Roriz 1921 is listed by Hartleys Auction House. I have never seen a 1921 and cannot find anything to support this being a genuine bottle. Do people think this is genuine? https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/hartleys/catalogue...

Could I be added to reserves please (MJRM). Thanks Michael

I think I got 4/10. I should have got one more if I had thought a bit harder but it is what it is. I had a couple of close misses (well I thought they were close) and a terrible champagne guess. This was fun to play - thanks.

Wonderful port tasting. Thank you to everyone who made this happen and for being so welcoming to a relative newbie. The standard of the 1966s remains consistently high and, for me, preferred to the 1963s overall. It was quite tricky to award points at the end as 7 or 8 really were quite close. In th...

I am still good to attend.
