Virtual Tasting #9 - Tuesday 14 July 2020

[Alex Bridgeman]

If I recall a conversation I had with Mike last week, he's not working in London this week and may not be in a position to host us for another call - but that doesn't stop us from having a Virtual Tasting hosted by someone else - which can be me next week since I needed to buy a month's Zoom license to be able to run the Sherry Tasting..

Who is interested in taking part? The theme is "Any kind of Port or other fortified wine - sighted".

Yes please.

Blind or sighted? If blind I’ll make a guessing page.

[CPR 1]

Yes please

[Justin K]

Yes please

[Alex Bridgeman]

Yes please.

Sighted. I find the blind and guessing versions for a Zoom tasting are more hard work than they are worth. I'd rather just go round the people on the call and see what each person is drinking.

[Doggett]

Yes please

[Alex Bridgeman]

Oops. I've just realised I'm already on a wine tasting from 8pm-9.30pm on Tuesday.

Never mind. I'll set this tasting up to be able to continue when I drop off a few minutes before 8pm and then rejoin a little after 9.30pm.

[jdaw1]

Or make it Wednesday.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Or make it Wednesday.

I have a different wine tasting on Wednesday - 2009 vs 2010 Bordeaux. It's a tough life being retired.

[jdaw1]

Or make it Monday. Or Thursday.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Both of which are perfectly valid suggestions, but ones which I will decline. We're in a rhythym of Tuesday night is Port night and I want to keep to that rhythym.

[Will W.]

Yes, please.

[Glenn E.]

Yes please!

[nac]

Yes please.

[winesecretary]

Yes please.

I'll send the invite out Tuesday morning. If this is too late for anyone, let me know.

[idj123]

[Doggett]

Whereabouts Ian? If you are near Weymouth you should pop by for a cup of tea/glass of port.

[Alex Bridgeman]

I will be in Dorsetshire

I'll send you the link. You can always pop in just for a minute or two.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Invite has just gone out. Let me know if anyone needs it resent or if I've invited you all to a meeting starting at 7am...

[Alex Bridgeman]

And I have just selected and stood up my bottle for this evening.
