Many thanks Zac. For me:

Fries
Green beans and shallots

And a Croft '70 will be appearing.

No starter for me please.

Main course, a double portion of the (absolutely fabulous) Wild Mushroom & Tarragon Ragout vol-au-vent starter.

Port selection to be announced shortly. I just need to check that I can find what I have in mind...

[Alex Bridgeman]

I have found the bottle I wanted to bring. I shall be bringing Fonseca 1963.

[nac]

Starter - Mac & Cheese
Main - Sausage & Mash (large)

Will bring a Graham 1960.

[idj123]

Will have my current usual, being:
Truffle mac n cheese
Sirloin steak (M-R) fries and green beans

Think I will bring a RV70.

Voting is closed. Many thanks for those who did.

I've removed Glenn from the in-person tasting given I havent heard anything about him flying over - I have added him to the online option for which I'll send a link shortly. Would someone be able to check with Tony if he is still keen?

[forest26]

Sorry, will have to withdraw - I am in Italy 7/2

Placemats in first post


Unusually for me, I have been ill today. Flu-like symptoms; covid test was negative. I hope to be on sparkling form by Tuesday, but that cannot yet be certain. So I’ll order food on the night.

Cross checked the placemats with the posts and they look good to me. Would someone be able to print?

Yes, thanks. Flying over wasn't really an option due to work, but hopefully I will be able to join online!

[Alex Bridgeman]

Just want to say I am really looking forward to this! It seems like ages since I was last at a Port tasting, even if it was only a couple of weeks.

Already significantly better. By Tuesday my form will be shimmering.

Delaforce 1970 delivered this lunchtime to venue.

[MigSU]

Hmm...if there's an online option, I might just pop open something good and join in on the fun.

I would like to join and have WhatsApp, FaceTime, Zoom (but not a subscription). don’t use the others but could explore if that is the desired route to the virtual participants.

I'm up for whatever, except Facetime.

I have Zoom and WhatsApp. Unfortunately I have a meeting from 11-12 Pacific and will need Zoom for that.

I can download whatever's necessary for the others except Facetime seeing as I use a PC.

[akzy]

Please can you pm me your email and I'll send a teams invite.

[akzy]

The other option is that we host a youtube live stream. I can play with it tomorrow when im granted access (takes 24hrs to approve). This will be surely the easiest for everyone to get involved with?

A semi-urgent nudge on this.
