Confirming-thanks Tom (and Alex)!

September certainly works better for me as I’m away the last fortnight in August. Don’t have much from 82 although I do have a Calem Foz which is a nice drop of juice.

T 63 decanted at 9 am. Oporto bottled and initial taste means I have very high hopes for this one.

A gloriously balmy tasting with the majority of ports showing very well. How I managed to make a clean sweep of the 63s and score 5 points overall, heaven only knows! A big thank you to Cliff for providing some fantastic bottles (and for Harry for the idea for the tasting). The jury is out as to whe...

My bottle double decanted at 9am. En route and eta 6.15pm all being well.

Monkey is most wise (Tripitaka needs to watch out)*

*old cultural reference!

My (new) Standard order, please! Which I cannot find in the The Standard Food Order thread. Missing Ian, Gavin. Others believed correct: please verify that your entry in the food order is correct. It’s there as far as I can see ( the second pdf from Martin’s link to the standard food order but I wi...

I am assuming that I do not need to double decant to the bottle I am bringing but can use another bottle for that purpose and thus negating the need to foil?

My (new) Standard order, please!

RP double decanted at 10.45am today. Only tasted from a drip on the funnel but am very hopeful. ETA 5.50pm.

I agree with Phil‘s suggestion regarding which bottles to include or exclude.

I am listed as, and planning to bring both the Delaforce and Fonseca Panascal - Neither seem to have made it on to the draft place mats QH is on the place mats currently but no one is listed as bringing this (we have a BBR which is likely QH) do we want a QH? do we have room for one? if yes to both...

Crikey, gird the loins for this tasting, as we are fast approaching the equivalent of two dozen bottles! And talking of tastings within tastings, if we had the Ni g ((which sadly I do not), then we would have another one…

And, I should say, happy to plump for 70.

Yes, please Cliff, count me in.

You won’t go wrong with their aged tawnies Rich, they’re lovely!

A little behind but should be there by 6.30ish.

Has Martin done his spreadsheet wizardry and allocated who is bringing what? Yes the first post has been updated However I am not sure the placemats fully reflect this as there is a QH on the placemats but not on the bottle list and Alex is due to due to bring 'M' but this is not on the placemats Y...

Yes please.

Tom, given the few drop outs we've had would it be ok to boost the numbers? I have a friend or two who aren't members here who may well be very interested in joining us for this event. Absolutely - new faces very welcome Err…shouldn’t we go to the reserve list firstly-or has this been exhausted?

Yes, please.

A great night and perhaps the most consistently good vertical I have attended. Two bottles – the 63 and 70 were below par but on the other hand the 75 and 83 were the two best examples of these wines that I have drunk. The 97 is also going in the right direction.

Same as last night for me which is to say:
Potted crab
Sirloin steak (medium rare) and fries plus carrots and peppercorn sauce
Welsh rarebit

Thanks

I have the following in Mags for 77 Dow, Graham, Warre, Taylor, Smith Woodhouse, Gould Campbell, Quarles Harris, Calem ----- I don't see an N in any of what has been listed so far and I definitely have Niepoort in bottle - lots of others too but will require searching through various stores. Cliff’...

And I have done similar with the 70 and 97

Am in Town for a meeting and so hoping to be there by 5.30pm.
