Post by **jdaw1** » 17:28 Thu 28 Oct 2021

As this thread has been reawakened with 160 days to go, please allow the obvious question. There is a long waitlist: please could attendees (CSD, CMAG, GEAG, TC, WPS, THRA, AHB, DRT, ZDR, SCD, IDJ, MPM) confirm their belief in their own attendance?

Alex: please, likewise for the ‘Possible industry guest’.

Thank you.

Chris Doty has confirmed only partially. I’m imposing on him a decision deadline: CSD to hard-confirm by 18:30 ɢᴍᴛ on Wednesday 16th March 2022, or the seat will be offered to the waitlist. (This requirement has also been sent by WhatsApp — nowhere to hide.)
Derek T. has relinquished his seat, to the benefit of Dave L..
All others have confirmed.

nac · Post by **nac** » 09:13 Wed 24 Nov 2021

Should I be promoted, in addition to the Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo I now have Niepoort.

Post by **jdaw1** » 19:07 Thu 06 Jan 2022

Three months.

Post by **flash_uk** » 10:31 Fri 07 Jan 2022

I have F, T to hand and V in storage that I'd rather leave there...

Reconfirming. Still have all the wines.

SCP · Post by **SCP** » 11:00 Mon 24 Jan 2022

Could I be added as a reserve please? I have the 1992 Passadouro (plus an appropriate amount to make up a fair value contribution), might get a Churchill Agua Alta, if there's interest.

I'm unlikely to be able to attend this. Please offer my space to someone else.

Post by **jdaw1** » 22:41 Sun 27 Feb 2022

An industry guest was intended, but didn’t happen. We have a long waitlist. Doing the obvious thing.

Harry, Phil; do you accept? And which ’92s can you make available?

That is me

I can make the date - thus consider me confirmed
If helpful I can provide Fonseca, Vesuvio, Passadouro, or for a little fun a Warre LBV?

I’d love to try the Quinta Nova please.

Post by **jdaw1** » 21:40 Wed 02 Mar 2022

I’ve received updated inventories of 1992s. We are rather light of this year. Please would people confirm a willingness to bring as follows.

THRA: Df, DB, EV, V;
TC: CáF, B;
MPM: F, T;
NAC: Nv, Ni;
AHB: CkC;
GEAG: GM;
WPS: SW;
SCD: Yt.

That’s only 14 bottles, so other good possibilities welcomed: pls PM me. Should we add a Warre 1992 ʟʙᴠ?

Some financial equalisation will be necessary, so pls also tell me a cost.

Thank you.

We seem to be missing the Passadouro 92 which is worth including alongside the Ni, and is much better than in some other years if I recall correctly. If wanted I have some.

idj123 · Post by **idj123** » 11:46 Tue 08 Mar 2022

I also have the W LBV 92 and would be happy to bring if required.

winesecretary · Post by **winesecretary** » 15:02 Tue 08 Mar 2022

I am now going to be running late for this tasting, as I will not land at Heathrow until 1825 on 6th, but I am determined to attend, absent flight delays.

I will aim to deliver the GM92 to the B&F the previous week and will ask them to decant it on the morning of the 6th.

A draft of the food order has been started, but is currently low on content. I will enquire about special steaks and post here.

Post by **jdaw1** » 13:03 Sun 20 Mar 2022

Pleas could people bring as follows:

THRA: Df, DB, EV;
TC: CáF, B;
MPM: F, T;
NAC: Nv, Ni;
AHB: CkC, V;
GEAG: GM;
WPS: SW;
SCD: Yt;
CPR: Ps;
JDAW: ChAA.

Please let me know costs.

My ChAA92 was bought this month for £37.

Post by **flash_uk** » 07:21 Mon 21 Mar 2022

F and T confirmed for me. £68 and £75 respectively.

Post by **jdaw1** » 18:09 Mon 21 Mar 2022

Special steaks:

£49, 600g, Club Sirloin Steak
£39, 240g, Fillet Steak
£35, 300g, Rib Eye Steak
£43, 400g, T-Bone
£70, 500g, Chateaubriand

Apparently “Served with a choice of side and pepper / Chimichurri sauce”.

The accounting will reflect the additional expensiveness of steaks.

It has already been decided that Mike and I will share a blue Club Sirloin (food order updated).

Food orders please, from this or from menu.

winesecretary · Post by **winesecretary** » 18:34 Mon 21 Mar 2022

Starter: welsh rarebit and a green salad
Main: special order t-bone, medium, chimichurri sauce, french fries

Hurrah!
