60 @ 66 - Tuesday 14 April 2026

Post by nac »

If we're going to do 66@60, then the nicely symmetrical 60@66 seems like a no-brainer.

There was a plan to do the 60s in 2020 but unfortunately the Zombie Apocalypse (aka COVID) got in the way. So, rather than waiting until 2030 and the less catchy 60@70, I propose we have a horizontal of 1960s now.

The Red Room at the Boot & Flogger has been booked for the evening of Tuesday 14th April 2026.

Please indicate interest in attendance, and what you might be able to supply. Note that those with bottles will be given preference. Cost equalisation probably isn't necessary, but if your bottle is particularly rare/expensive then will be reviewed.

Attendees:
  1. NAC
  2. NAC Guest TBC
  3. MPM
  4. JDAW
  5. GEAG
  6. MSC
  7. IDJ
  8. CPR
  9. NigelM
  10. TC
  11. MichaelM
  12. MichaelC
  13. AHB
  14. JustinK
Reserves:

I’m in!

Note that this is Tom's year of birth so it might be nice to save a spot for him while we give him a nudge.

I have at home BN, Fe, Ni (only one bottle, which might be needed for the F v Ni tasting), N, Rs, RV, Sb and T. In storage I also have Ck.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

If anyone does have the NN, the last bottle I had some 12 years ago was splendid and so I would be up for a group adoption.

For me I’ll put my money on the 100 to 1 in the last race at Cheltenham; it’s a much safer bet😊

You're currently first reserve.
My guest space is being held for someone who I think will want to come but maybe isn't able to respond at the moment. If they don't want it then it's yours.
