2021 Virtual Tasting #11 - Thurs 10th June - NOTE DATE CHANGE

[nac]

Who would like to have a virtual get-together on Wednesday Thursday?

No theme, so freestyle it.

Interested:

• NAC
• GEE ?
• AHB
• SCD
• JDAW
• MPM

MPM - can you do Zoom magic?

[rich_n]

I'll be at my parents so unlikely to join unless my dad wants to get involved.

[winesecretary]

I cannot attend - I am at another wine dinner...

[nac]

Aaah - just realised that there's the Quevedo Colheita Vertical the following Thursday, so suspect there will be limited interest in doing the 9th as well. Unless there are objections I'll assume this isn't required.

[Glenn E.]

I am available should this tasting happen.

[Alex Bridgeman]

I’m game for a Zoom tasting this Thursday.

[Doggett]

Happy to come out to play if there is enough interest.

[jdaw1]

Yes please.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Five people might be enough interest…

[flash_uk]

I have a difficult school day on Thursday so Weds night I can't do. Thursday I could do though...

[jdaw1]

Likely either.

[nac]

Appears that a number of people could do Thursday instead. Shall we do that?

Unless there are howls of protest I'll change it.

Mike - can you do your Zoom thing for Thursday?

[nac]

No howls of protest so changed to Thursday.

[akzy]

I'm getting jabbed that day. Would like to join if I'm feeling OK.

[flash_uk]

Zoom invite now sent

[Doggett]

Thursday good for me. Thank you to the organisers

[Alex Bridgeman]

In my diary.

[Justin K]

Yes please

[Alex Bridgeman]

If the one invite has gone out, could someone forward it to me please?

[Doggett]

If the one invite has gone out, could someone forward it to me please?

Done
EDIT: to your bft account as Mike did.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Thanks. I couldn’t find the one Mike sent, but I have the one you forwarded.

And I’m on line now…

[Glenn E.]

And I’m on line now…

Odd, because I am also online and there is no one else in the meeting.

I used the link from the original invite, is that not correct?

[Glenn E.]

Mike has arrived, so I'm in the right meeting. Alex, we're trying to find you.

[Alex Bridgeman]

I’ve had to drop out to run a couple of errands. I’ll be back about 9pm UK time.

[akzy]

Unfortunately not feeling great. Have fun without me.

[Glenn E.]

By the way, Seattle to Carmel, CA is roughly the same distance as London to Florence, Italy.

I've driven to visit Andy in L.A. before... that's the equivalent of London to Naples, Italy. And I did it in a smart car.

[MigSU]

If I drive more than 4 hours straight on the motorway I start to fall asleep, regardless of whether I'm tired or not. London to Naples...forget it. From my home in the Douro to my holiday home in the Algarve it's a 5h30m drive, 95% of it motorway, and I already find it way too much.
