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.

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 know this is going to sound like a lame excuse but I now have an oak frame barn (!!) being delivered on the 9th and 10th so I'm going to have to pull out of this one ... have a fun evening in the mean time.
