Re: Cockburn Vertical, Tue 2nd Oct 2018
Could those on the attendee list please re-confirm attendance and email or PM me a fair price for the bottles they are able to contribute.
Financial re-balancing will apply so those with little or nothing to contribute will be contributing in £££.
Thanks
Derek

Re: Cockburn Vertical, Tue 2nd Oct 2018
I have re-confirmed. And emailed re ’47 and ’67 (alas, both nineteen rather than eighteen).
Re: Cockburn Vertical, Tue 2nd Oct 2018
Reconfirming please. The Ck70 I have is mid shoulder and possibly not of the quality that is required for a tasting of this magnitude and importance so it would be better if I adopt please, as I don’t have another bottle to offer other than a 1991, which I don’t think will be required.

Re: Cockburn Vertical, Tue 2nd Oct 2018
I have fifteen bottles of Co70, so can easily spare one - all have levels in neck.

Re: Cockburn Vertical, Tue 2nd Oct 2018
I can reconfirm and having checked only have the Ck63 as it turns out. Have PM’d the cost.
Re: Cockburn Vertical, Tue 2nd Oct 2018
Thanks to those who have responded so far. More please!
Just to clarify what I meant by "financial rebalancing":
My intention is to agree a fair price with the donor of each bottle. The total cost will be calculated using these prices and equivalent credit given for the £ value of the bottles. There will then be an exchange of cash amongst the group to reach a position where everyone has contributed an equivalent amount in £ or Port.
So, if the average cost of the bottles works out at £200 and you donate a bottle worth £120 you will also need to pay £80 into the fund to allow those who contribute a greater value in Port to be compensated. Those with no Port to give would pay the full £200.
The £200 figure is a guess, please don't rely on it. The actual figure will be made known once I have all the prices in.

I now have enough data to suggest that the cost will be in the region of £240 per person, excluding food.
I will confirm the actual cost to each person as soon as possible.

I don’t have the details to hand but my immediate reaction suggests little ‘inflation’ since 2008. I haven’t compared the line up, bottle condition or vintage though!DRT wrote:I now have enough data to suggest that the cost will be in the region of £240 per person, excluding food.
