66 @ 60 - Tuesday 17 March 2026

Post by nac »

The 66s are 60 this year, so seems sensible that we should have a horizontal.

The Red Room at the Boot & Flogger has been booked for the evening of Tuesday 17th March 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. CPR
  8. IDJ
  9. NigelM
  10. TC
  11. MichaelM
  12. HTWH
  13. AlexM
  14. PhilW
Reserves:
  1. AHB (in case he is available)
  2. Pommy42

Can’t make this one. Too close to the bft date.

But if - for any reason - the date gets delayed I have BBR, D, F, GC, G, N, S, T and W (but some are in storage).
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

I have a library release Ferreira which would be my preference. Otherwise I can fill a few gaps.
