[mcoulson]

I'm up for this ...

[MigSU]

I'm in.

How about "something not from big conglomerates"? (We can discuss who these are, but I'd include Sogrape, Symington, Sogevinus, and Fladgate). Or is it too general?

[Justin K]

Yes please.

Good idea. Let's say "Smaller Producers".

No problem (I hope!)

[flash_uk]

Yes please

[Mike J. W.]

I'm in. Thanks.

[akzy]

Yes please

[Glenn E.]

I'm in! Hopefully. Always a bit unpredictable since it's the middle of the work day, but other than this last one it usually works out.

[rich_n]

Port in January? Sounds ideal, please count me in.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Sign me up. Yes please.

[winesecretary]

Yes please. Will have a look round the cellar over Christmas to find something suitable.

[PopulusTremula]

Sounds like good fun. Please sign me up.

[Mike J. W.]

I assume this is still on? What time will it start? I want to get this on my calendar.

When you say Port from a smaller producer, this can be any type of Port or is the preference for a VP?

[Alex Bridgeman]

I fear I won't be able to make this event. Apparently Elizabeth has something else planned...

[nac]

Still on.
Will send out the Zoom invite later today.

I now have access to a premium Zoom subscription so will be coming direct from me rather than PhilW.

[winesecretary]

I’m on for this

[PopulusTremula]

I'm still on but can only join around 20:30 UK time. Might be slightly late depending on what time you intend to start.

[nac]

Link will be sent shortly via Private Message inside the Forum to all those who expressed an interest.

I suggest kick-off at 1930, but the Zoom Room will be available from 1900 until 0100.

[nac]

Zoom link has been sent.
If anybody else wants it, just ask.

[hadge]

send to me, I'm not sure if i will be able to join but you never know.

[NigelM]

I will try to make it if possible, but can't be certain. Please send link.

[Glenn E.]

The regular meeting(s) that I had that used to interfere with these is no more, so I should be available straight through. Since we start at 11:00 am my time I'll need lunch in the middle, but that's easy enough.

Smaller producers? Hmm... I'll have to dig around in my fridges tonight...
