10th Sep 2019 - 1966 Horizontal at the B&F

[DRT]

Could I please change to the Rib Eye bone in. Rare. Thx.

Done.

[DaveRL]

I have been trying to resist, but have failed.

Could I also change to the rib eye bone in steak (rare) please. Thanks. It just sounds too good. Yum.

In the unlikely event you need a reserve to fill in, can you put me down please? 66 is my birth year but they haven't lasted long in my household...excepting the rest of a case of Fonseca that's always been spectacular. I would however buy something to fill gaps, or offer to double up on what you'd usually expect to be the pick of the bunch... Best

I have added you to the reserve list, Nick.

[flash_uk]

Tragic alert. Now appearing unlikely I can make this date. I'll confirm one way or another by the end of the week, but thought it would be helpful to signal early so that reserves can get excited...

Tragic indeed! Hope it works out, Mike. Let us know.

NickA, you now have cause to feel excited, at least until the end of this week...

Just to let the organiser know, today I dropped off bottles of Sandeman (Justin), Noval (Dave) and Gould Campbell (me) to stand in the Green Cellar until the tasting.

For the placemats, please could the first post’s list of people and Ports be made current?

[DRT]

Yes, once Mike confirms whether or not he is attending.

Definitely can’t make it

OK, thanks for confirming.

NickA, can you please confirm you want the spare seat?

[DRT]

Yes I’ll be there but not sure what I will be bringing with me yet!

Excellent.

I confirm that the date will work for me...
Thanks

Thank you. Can you please let us know which 1966 you plan to bring along?

Could RGO and Caparica please confirm which 1966 they plan to bring?

[DRT]

Due to unforeseen circumstances Daniel (Caparica) can no longer join us on 10th September.

There is a spare seat available for someone with a 1966.

[flash_uk]

The winds have shifted, there may now be a chance I can attend. Was supposed to be in Chicago but now a possibility that isn’t happening. Will hopefully figure out before end of tomorrow.

[uncle tom]

I could be available, if there's space..

Have plenty of '66 - Dow perhaps?

Tom, if Mike can't make it you and your Dow 66 are in.

Alas, the winds have not changed. I’ll be landing in Chicago just as the first drops of ‘66 are passing your lips.

Enjoy.. O'Hare gets my vote for being the world's worst airport..

[DRT]

Tom, you are in! Please let us kn ow which 66 you plan to bring.

Thanks
Derek

[DRT]

Tom, pease also confirm what you want to eat. I think it is too late to add to the special order steaks as they required 7 days notice.

[jdaw1]

Who can print?

Not yet — still awaiting being told some Ports — but when ready, please, who can print A3 and A4?

[uncle tom]

Tom, please also confirm what you want to eat

I think my default menu choice is ex. stock - if they've changed the menu, something similar will do..

Confirm will bring Dow.

[DRT]

Thanks, Tom

Sorry, not me.

[DRT]

NickA can no longer join us so there is a spare seat available.

[DRT]

Can someone please volunteer to print the placemats?

I plan to arrive at the B&F mid-afternoon to decant and begin setting up. If anyone is able to join me to help it would be very much appreciated.

I won’t have access to a proper printer, so not me. Sorry.

Please would somebody volunteer to print the placemats? (Please force-reload to ensure latest version.)

[CPR 1]

I can print - I will be there about 5pm

I'll be there around 5pm to help decant and pour.

I am stupidly excited about this tasting. I haven't had any proper Port drunk with proper Port People for what seems like far too long.

My too. We will very likely both pass out at around 19:30
