If you check out the LBV thread, you will see that I have begged off the April tasting and proposed it for mid-June instead.
Do we have a location yet for O&O? If not, I would be happy to host it at my home (partial recompense for delaying the LBV tasting).

I am heading to NY after Portugal in May but will still be in Portugal on the 8th. C'est dommage, as it sounds like a fun time.

Pray tell — if only for the placemats.
The statement begs a question. Pray tell — if only for the placemats.AHB wrote:I'm happy to go for the Hoopers 1944, it means that I can bring a particular bottle that I've been waiting to try which I am very curious about.

It does depend to some extent on what mood I am in when I choose the bottle that I am intending to bring.
Suffice it to say, that it will not be as old as the one that Jay has mentioned opening, but it will be from the same monarch's reign.
For the purposes of the placemats, simply note it as "Garcia Refreshed".

Where?
The manager at Bistro Citron says that, on Thursday 8th May 2008, he can accommodate up to a limit of ten people. That’s as many as we would want, so, failing cogent objection soon, Bistro Citron it is.

Good nosh, and the best fries in Manhattan.
Subway from downtown take the B or C to 81st street: don’t take the A or D as they are express from Columbus Circle to somewhere functionally equivalent to Canada.

I think I can make the 8th if there is room and I can source. Gotta tell you all that I really enjoyed the 77 port night, talked about it for weeks after.
Dovetail was a great spot, I will be revisiting shortly with wife.
I have found port lovers are very similar to wine lovers, except they drink more water and some have accents, LOL

I'm not sure what accents you might mean...
I can confirm that I will be fleetingly in New York on May 8th, so please book me a space. The Steak Frîtes at Bistro Citron were excellent last time.

I really apologise for the late notice and any inconvenience that might be caused, by my lawyers have rescheduled my deposition and moved it back a week.
Would it be possible to reschedule the O&O tasting back by a week to Thursday 15th?
If not, please don't worry but just accept my apologies.

OMG I've gone all Terence Trent D'Arby. Apologies to everyone.
Port is basically a red drink

Unless we're looking to accommodate another 8 people =)
8th May? 15th May?
We need a decision. Possibilities:
- Punish Alex for employing unreliable lawyers by keeping the current plans;
- Punish g-man for having a drinking chum who employs unreliable lawyers, by moving the date forward a week;
- Keep date of 8th May, change theme, and encourage Alex to bring his old bottle next time.

Apparently, we have just changed counsel. This means that what was a defeinite commitment for me to be in New York in May is now a definite possible requirement.
So, basically, I am not sure when I will next be in the "Big Apple". As soon as I know, I would be delighted to be able to be used as an excuse for an offline.
If you are willing and able to delay the O&O theme for my next visit, I would be very appreciative as I really would like to try the Schofield Brothers 1873 to see what it is. I have a choice of two bottles that I might bring to accompany it. One is from 1890 amd the other from 1854 - the latter has just started to seep quite badly and so needs to be drunk soon.

O&O delayed; LBVs on the previously-agreed date of 8th M
OK, O&O delayed.
LBVs on the previously-agreed date of 8th May.
Objections?

Alex's offer is too tempting to not delay the 0&O tasting. So, LBVs it is. Same location, I assume.
And who will be coming now?
I have at hand in Brooklyn a Niepoort 1992, Churchill 1990, Osborne 1997, Osborne 1999, Osbrone 2000, and Quinta do Infantado 2000.
I would recommend the Niepoort and the Churchill although I could supply the others if we need them.

I have no LBVs, so am entirely in your hands.
I have no LBVs, so am entirely in your hands. Please may I pay $ on the day?
Re: I have no LBVs, so am entirely in your hands.
Of course. I assume that Eric, who has quite a collection of unusual LBVs, Jeff and David are coming. Anyone else.jdaw1 wrote:I have no LBVs, so am entirely in your hands. Please may I pay $ on the day?
