I’ve offered to help Tony on the admin for this tasting. I’ll take a look at, and suggest, some possible dates shortly.

Cheers Alex - my cunning strategy of proposing something - then do nothing until someone else steps in - worked !!!
As long as we avoid half term in October I should be Ok.

Charles, my humble — most humble — apologies, but as number 14 on the list I might need to bump you in favour of an industry guest. I really apologise for having not realised this when I ran through the posts and put together the list of attendees.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

That is, week commencing Monday 2nd October? That gives us a 2 week gap from the 1966 horizontal. Or the week before half term, that would be week commencing Monday 16th October.

If we want a bigger gap between major tastings we're looking at Feb 2024.
w/c 2nd October good for me; can't do w/c 16th

Week starting October 2nd would work for me, as would the following week starting Oct 9th (or the week prior starting 25th Sep).
Second half of October much trickier for me.
Suggest we wait until after Sao Joao festival before finalising. Would be nice to have our industry guest along!
First week of October is out for me - w/c 16th October works. Not Feb 2024 as I will probably be in Oporto.
Slowly putting together other vintages.

September is hard for an industry guest, I would venture. I less the tasting is held in the Douro!
October *might* work, depending on the dates.
