Great. See you there.

I have just checked with the Boot and Flogger and can confirm that they have both my bottles (T83 and W83) in the cage, which is a relief as I was starting to worry they had gone AWOL. If any help is required earlier on the day if the tasting for decanting and setting up, I am available if/whenever ...

No food for me thanks...just the service contribution if I may.
Btw Mike, did you see my bottles at the Boot & Flogger? I left them there in a 2 bottle case on the day of the large format 77 tasting.

Can I be a reserve please

Ps. Good to have you back...

I would love to try a first growth '45... But that is not top of the bucket.

My bucketlist ports have been listed following Alex's post, but what is top of my bucketlist in terms of red wine?

Reginald Dwight?

Ritchie Blackmore

Battle of Côa

Nothing too serious I hope...and I wish you all the best for a speedy recovery.

You beat me to it Derek

Peso da Régua - Housing the head office of the IVDP?

Is the town...São João da Pesqueira?

Douro?

This seems like a fabulous idea, and I would like to put my name forward as available for any or all of the November 5th dates that are appropriate. I love Oscar's port and these are bound to be lovely tastings... particularly if it is the 2015 release that I have high hopes for being my wedding ann...
