Tom, my sincere apologies, I now have to be elsewhere for work on this evening.
Re: May 23rd, 2024 - LBV - The Young Turks
Placemats will be intricate. Tom — please reveal the twenty relatively unrecognised shippers, so that a first draft can be made and critiqued.uncle tom wrote: ↑09:34 Mon 08 Jan 2024Four flights of six bottles, two flights from the 2017 vintage and two from the 2018 vintage
Each flight compromising five young Turks - producers we rarely see as VP, bottling LBV with driven corks - and one reference bottle, a major well known brand, which may or may not be T stoppered.
The young Turks to be served fully sighted, the reference bottle blind, to see how many can guess it correctly.
After each flight attendees are asked to identify and retain the two glasses they found most impressive, which may or may not include the reference bottle, and either down or dump the remaining four.
From the final eight retained glasses, they are then asked to identify their six favourites, scoring from one to six.
Slightly different arrangements to our normal routine for placemats and scoring, I'm thinking I'll probably print each attendee a set of stickers they can put on the placemats to remind them of their retained glasses.

Dear all, due to a last minute change I would not be able to make this until 8pm. Am very happy to cede my seat if there is interest from other quarters.

Pacheca, Pocas and especially Ramos Pinto all make very nice LBV's.
Re: May 23rd, 2024 - LBV - The Young Turks
Did they make menu changes in the end? I was holding off after the previous post in this thread. Will take a look and confirm shortly.uncle tom wrote:Need food orders ASAP please - will reference the standard food order in the event of default

They promised to email me the new menu when I made the booking, but that never materialised. Last night's fare looked largely unchanged from before.Did they make menu changes in the end? I was holding off after the previous post in this thread. Will take a look and confirm shortly.

Please confirm that this is Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo, which has abbreviation ‘Nv’.
Separately, some new abbreviations will be needed, as asked in the Port brand abbreviations thread.
Re: May 23rd, 2024 - LBV - The Young Turks
I can't remember my standard order so please can I have the following:
- soup of the day
- Ribeye steak (medium rare and peppercorn sauce) with creamed spinach
- chocolate brownie
Thanks!

Standard order for me please
Re: May 23rd, 2024 - LBV - The Young Turks
Current draft of the placemats (which were quite fiddly) added to the first post. Tom: please inspect — is this what you want?
I’ve changed two of the names, to Tecedeiras (no Q.) and Quinta Seara D’Ordens (minus a preposition). My guess is that you don’t care.
Edit: later, Q das readded to Tecedeiras.

Re: LBV - The Young Turks
I am pretty busy next week and it’s unlikely that I’ll be able to make the tasting. If I can, it will be a decision taken on the day.
Please drop me to the reserves list and I’ll let you know at the last minute if there’s a seat still free which I can fill.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Re: May 23rd, 2024 - LBV - The Young Turks
Yes - the label has the last part in small printPlease confirm that this is Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo
On the label, Quinta das (smallish print) Tecedeiras (large print)I’ve changed two of the names, to Tecedeiras (no Q.) and Quinta Seara D’Ordens (minus a preposition)
Although PV use the preposition de, neither the label nor the website for Seara D'Ordens does
Placemats look excellent - thanks.

One small snafu in the placemats. The first post mistakenly lists Ben R attending rather than Ben P, and this has carried through onto the placemats.jdaw1 wrote: ↑20:59 Wed 15 May 2024 Current draft of the placemats (which were quite fiddly) added to the first post.
