Being a 1993 vintage and given how highly we all speak of this year

yes, I'm game for this. would you be happy for non-port options, like a Red Burgundy?

I also, i think that i have a South African fortified from 1993

MigSU · Post by **MigSU** » 19:09 Fri 05 May 2023

I have Carcavelos from 1993.

But alas, I'll be unable to attend.

Wonderful. Non-port is accepted. Non-fortified is even accepted.

If you want to throw the theme wide open, I have two 10yr tawnies that were bottled in 1993

So long as you can say there's some 93 in it (or provide a entertaining enough lie) yes.

hadge · Post by **hadge** » 19:37 Fri 19 May 2023

I'm planning on bring

1993, Remi Rollin, Pernand Vergelesses, Magnum
1993, Louis Jadot, Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots, Magnum

there is a little risk with Red Burgundy of this age but hopefully they will be fun as they are in Mag.

My only 1993 is German - Querbach, Oestricher Lenchen Riesling Spatlese Halbtrocken - so will bring that. Don't have high hopes.

I did have a magnum of 1993 Bordeaux (Grand Listrac) but previously donated it to Zak...

I'll not be opening the Reisling yet. Maybe on arrival or 30 seconds before we taste it.

forest26 · Post by **forest26** » 08:56 Wed 04 Oct 2023

Sorry I cannot make it - need to squeeze in a visit to Montilla Moriles next week.
Happy to donate/send the Toro Albala 1993 PX to someone for the tasting.

akzy · Post by **akzy** » 08:25 Thu 05 Oct 2023

Sorry to hear Tony. I suspect we're going to be ok for bottles so don't feel the urge to donate.

As the list has 8 (with only 6 confirmed with food orders), I've told the B&F so we may get assigned a smaller room. If someone is able to directly reach Ian or pommy to nudge them, that would be excellent.

idj123 · Post by **idj123** » 16:49 Thu 05 Oct 2023

Apologies for my tardiness Zak but just to reconfirm that I will be attending along with a bottle of Quinoa do Mourao 30 year Tawny (plus I will have Tony’s bottle-above).

As for food order:
Truffle Mac n cheese
Steak mushroom and claret pie with fries (looks like it comes with green beans)

Thanks!

Hi Guys, sorry been away and off line - and monumental failed to find a bottle apart from a 30yo whisky! Is there any bottle i can adopt a bottle?

No worries. I'm considering my bottles as donations and with Tony's bottle, I can just put you down for an adoption. How do you want your steak cooked?

pommy42 · Post by **pommy42** » 12:57 Fri 06 Oct 2023

That is amazing thank you so so much ! Rare please, not quite moo-ing but not far off!

I have a very dear friend coming from Geneva - can we squeeze one more guest and an additional bottle per chance?

Let me confirm with the B&F.

akzy · Post by **akzy** » 20:33 Fri 06 Oct 2023

I've put in a preliminary placemat on the first page. Quite tricky when very few wines have previous placemat precedence. Relatively easy to change things if requested.
Please can someone check? Additionally, may someone print?

This is fine. Please can you provide their initials and I'll add to the mats. Given Tony's generous donation, I'll place them down for adoption of that.

Given sherry, tokaji and perhaps 30YO tawny (don't shoot me), I have asked for some ice buckets.

pommy42 · Post by **pommy42** » 10:57 Mon 09 Oct 2023

Chris West (CW) - there should be a bottle of 1993 coming too - Ironstone Pressing (aussie red - Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvedre 15%)

CW food -
Ardennes pâté
Sirloin steak, medium rare
skinny fries

This has been arranged so no need to worry.

I will aim to be there for 5pm.

nac · Post by **nac** » 14:19 Mon 09 Oct 2023

Just doing some cellar management and found three bottles of "Rioja Bordon Reserva 1993 - Bodegas Franco" which I'd forgotten about. Will bring one with me.

This was purchased from Laithwaites two or three years, and I think was producer library stock, so hopefully should be in good condition.

I'm aiming to be there 1730ish.

Post by **flash_uk** » 14:35 Mon 09 Oct 2023

I should have mentioned - I have a surprise extra bottle coming too.

Still time to turn the placemats into 6 glasses per page??
