How does Weds 12 October sound for a get-together at the usual venue? Any takers? Was thinking of a theme along the lines of Seventy or Seventy Seven.
Where: The Green Room, The Boot & Flogger 10-20 Redcross Way, SE1 1TA
When: 18h30 on Wednesday 12th October 2016
What: Seventy or Seventy Seven, blind.
Who:
I'm up for this. Would prefer 1970 to 1977 on the grounds that I have more variety of the former and that there is more strength in depth across the vintage. However, I'll go with the consensus.
Hi
Would you mind if I went way off-piste on this?
I have just acquired 6 bottles of 1933 ?????? vintage port , the glass is to dark to read the cork so there is only one decent thing to do to identify this (open in good company!). There are only a few shippers for this year.

I can bring a 70/77 as back up.
Off-piste is great! I'll include a suitable slot on the placemats.
As I'm travelling on Tuesday and Wednesday and only back into London in time for our tasting, I plan to drop my bottles off at the B&F today and will see if the good people on duty on Wednesday can undertake the decanting on my behalf at a suitable time.
Thanks Charles, I should be OK with that though. Will stop off via the office from Euston to get rid of my bag and can print then. Should get to B&F for 6-ish.

Bottles deposited at the B&F this afternoon. Just need to send through instructions on Wednesday morning about which bottles to decant
