Re: Latest buy

6 x Warre Cavadinha 2006, directly from SFE, at €16 a piece. These are probably drinking nicely right now, but will probably better in 5 or 10 years. I might wait - or not. Are these available in the UK? Plenty available, but at £35-£40 a bottle. I got a few bottles of the 2005 from Waitrose in lat...

I'm good w/c 29th April. Would prefer it not to be Thursday 2nd, but each night is possible.

Re: Tastings (Physical & Virtual) - Planner

Or ‘35 at 90 or ‘55 at 70 or ‘65 at 60 or ‘75 at 50 or ‘85 at 40… Or 60 @ 65 maybe? Or 70 @ 55. Oh...I'm supposed to be sorting that one... Given we've only recently done probably the largest ever tasting of 55s, not sure there's a rush for that. And I think CEM is considering do it again anyway.

If plans change, I’ll just have to take the risk that a space comes available for me.

I've added you to the "interested" list, but given that my preference is for this to be only 10 heads, it's unlikely (at the moment) that you'll make it to the table.

Re: Tastings (Physical & Virtual) - Planner

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.

Re: Port for sale by retailer

Aldi currently listing Fletcher's 2017 LBV for £8.99 a bottle. If they actually have any to sell, this might be a bargain.
