Re: Tuesday 19th December - 77@40
Can I please be added to the reserve list thanks
Re: Tuesday 19th December - 77@40
The line up has now been confirmed, we have 16 shippers, 18 bottles one of which is a magnum thus not bad for a Tuesday night. (first post updated)
Can people contributing bottles please deliver them to the B&F in advance, I will contact people shortly re sorting the costs.

I could bring Gould Campbell.
Re: Tuesday 19th December - 77@40
To make more table space, I’ve reduced the space per glass: 15 on A3, and 3 on ½×A4. Please comment whether too small: Circle radius = 118.978pt, so diameter ≈ 3.30″ ≈ 83.9mm.jdaw1 wrote: ↑00:20 Sun 19 Nov 2017Current draft of the placemats added to the first post.
Table space will be very tight.
Re: Tuesday 19th December - 77@40
Unfortunately Dirk can't make this now but has still very kindly offered to provide a bottle of Niepoort. CMAG has thus been promoted from the reserves.
This now leaves us with 'just' 16 bottles for 14 people. Any views on adding some of these to the line up; Kopke San Luiz (Current bottle labelled as simply Kopke, does anyone know if they produced both or just different labels?) Pocas, Ferreira or a special Factory House blend?

Re: Tuesday 19th December - 77@40
Am not aware of a straight Kopke in '77 (but don't know for sure that there isn't).
My choice would be to first include the Ferreira (lovely wine), then the Factory House (as we will likely taste all its components alongside).

Re: Tuesday 19th December - 77@40
I'd also vote for the Ferreira, a very nice wine.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Re: Tuesday 19th December - 77@40
Excellent decision made Ferreira and Factory House added. We have 1 vacant seat as CMAG can't make this, first post updated.
For those attending can you please post your food order, usual menu and a Xmas special to choose from. I will send PM re costs this week.

Re: Tuesday 19th December - 77@40
Have we one Niepoort, or three? Are we at twenty glasses? Has the B&F been told?
If Mike is printing, then the placemats can be on a trimmed A2, which will use less space than A3+A4. Is he?

Re: Tuesday 19th December - 77@40
Just one. I have discussed glasses with B&F and been assured all ok, fingers crossed.

All checked, looks correct.jdaw1 wrote: ↑00:37 Wed 06 Dec 2017 Draft of the placemats updated. Please confirm correct Ports, correct people, and correct linkages between the two sets.
Only differences from first post are lack of CMAG in attendee list (but believed correct from above posts), and Ferreira and Factory House are present in ports list with correct supplier, but have not been added against attendees.

Re: Tuesday 19th December - 77@40
Do we have a spare seat at the '77 tasting? There are a couple of people I met yesterday who might be interested in joining us if that is the case.
My food order:
No starter
Roast Turkey main
Probably no desert on the night (but if I have one it will likely be the Lemon and Ginger Cheesecake — if I have one)

For my order I'll have the truffle mac and cheese to be followed by the turkey.
