[hadge]

Yes please, i will have a look at what i have.

[jdaw1]

Yes please, if those without old bottles are welcome. I believe that I have only 1994.



FYI, there was a Ramos Pinto vertical on Tuesday 21^st October 2014.

In the event we have too many bottles

Hello. We very much welcome new people.

[CPR 1]

Yes please. I can offer 77 and both 94’s

[JohnDavidFrance]

Love to join in if space, i have a 1982 and 1983 direct from the cellars

[flash_uk]

Yes please. Believe I have 80.

I suspect we have very little between us pre 1977…

[cem]

Yes please!

I will bring the 1931 and the 1935

[idj123]

I caught up at a meeting last time and so was unable to attend, which was a huge pity as I’m a big fan of RP. So, put me down please. I have 24, 34, 64, 70, 77, 80, 83, 85, 94, and 97. RP is from the 60s. RPs from the 60s are very rare indeed.

I have changed my mind on the old bottles rule and deleted this as I think I should stick to the standard first to reply rules.

[Bertie3000]

Adding Alex B to attendees, if he can make it, as he was the one who encouraged this tasting.

[nac]

Yes please.

[mcoulson]

Yep ... may I join in please ....

[flash_uk]

I suspect we have very little between us pre 1977…

I was wrong...

[forest26]

Yes please

[forest26]

I might have some RP tucked away for a vertical - I’ll have a check when back from Porto. Are we including Bom Retiro in the line up.

[PhilW]

Yes please, but I would need to adopt.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Adding Alex B to attendees, if he can make it, as he was the one who encouraged this tasting.

Thank you, that’s much appreciated. I would have hated to have missed out simply by not being online much over the last couple of days.

I don’t have a lot though. 2017, 2015, 2000, 1994, 1970, 1964 and 1931.

[Bertie3000]

I have now confirmed a booking with the Boot & Flogger for Tuesday 9 June. I have also updated the front post with a full list of attendees and what everyone currently owns. Will update as others provide. We seem to have the 1930s covered!

Please check for errors in the first post but looks fine to me.

[winesecretary]

Please put me on this listed as a reserve as I have none of the wines plus I have a hearing floating that week so I am sorry to say I am a 50% bet to attend.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Are we including Bom Retiro in the line up.

I draw the organiser’s attention to this question and suggest that the answer should be “yes”.

Happy to include Bom Retiro.

[M.Charlton]

Please could I be put down as an adopting attendee? Of course, if I get a hold of some of these beforehand I will post here. Thanks

[Christopher]

Could I please be put down on the reserves
I will need to adopt

[NigelM]

Please stick me on the reserves if poss. Ta

[Bertie3000]

Could those who have not confirmed bottles please do. I might see if I can fill one or two gaps once everyone has fed back. Thanks.

[jdaw1]

Before I met the people here, I did think that did that the tastings I arranged were good.

Hell no: junior practice stuff. Of which I was reminded by:

I suspect we have very little between us pre 1977…

which was followed by

I will bring the 1931 and the 1935

I have 24, 34, 64, 70, 77, 80, 83, 85, 94, and 97.

I don’t have a lot though. 2017, 2015, 2000, 1994, 1970, 1964 and 1931.

Will bring 1945.

What I did before meeting you people was good and decent, but merely junior practice stuff.

(But we are missing 1955.)

[JohnDavidFrance]

Will see what bottles are on offer RE: 1955 when i head there in April. A good friends Uncle works for Ramos Pinto so here's hoping

My apologies I will now be in Scotland this week thus can't make this. My bottles are available if needed.

[Bertie3000]

That is a shame. I have removed you from the list.
George - would you like to be added or would you prefer to remain on the reserves for now?

[winesecretary]

Thank you. It is fated in the stars… I shall be delighted to attend.

[winesecretary]

I am happy to buy in 1977 / 1994 as required / make equalisation payments. (Accepting that for the 1977 I might have to pass silver into the palm of CPR1 as there appears to be none for sale in UK.)

Great. I have added you to the attendee list. Looking at the list of bottles above, it would be great if you could agree something with CPR1 re the 1977
