Re: Warres Vertical October 2nd
How about we will have a Pink Port side tasting before the meal on Oct 2nd. I could supply the Quevedo and would ask other participants to bring one, too. I guess, a Pink tasting hasnt been organised yet and it wont justify the effort for a single tasting anyway.
Comments, please

Re: Warres Vertical October 2nd
I’d rather save my palate for the Warre. But happy to bring Cruz Pink from France, if others want it.

Re: Warres Vertical October 2nd
Yep, but we still also need to check if we can get the Warre 1950. It maybe a bit academic (supposed according to uncle Tom not so good) but nevertherless.
Will update all shortly.

Re: Warres Vertical October 2nd
Not personally tasted, but Broadbent's comment is a classic: "smell and taste of asbestos filter pads"supposed according to uncle Tom not so good
Not a strong year, and one of MB's most damning notes ever - but I would like to include it if we could find a bottle - it might just surprise..

Re: Warres Vertical October 2nd
Well, I'm not sure about the appeal of the "smell and taste of asbestos filter pads' - but if an opening does present itself for this tasting, I'd be more than willing to fly over the pond to participate. I've always been interested in doing a Warre's vertical...

Re: Warres Vertical October 2nd
Andy V is unable to attend. As his replacement I would very much like to invite a witty port lover from the wine trade would that be OK?
Re: Warres Vertical October 2nd
Nobody has disagreed with my suggestion in the previous post. Failing cogent objection by Wednesday, an invitation will be issued.

Re: Warres Vertical October 2nd
Ghandhi is noted as being wait listed on the first post - best check with Wolfgang or Axel first, as they are taking care of the attendance list.Nobody has disagreed with my suggestion in the previous post. Failing cogent objection by Wednesday, an invitation will be issued.

My posts, in the thread organising this tasting, were intended to ‟check with Wolfgang or Axel”. Gandi PM’d.

Re: Warres Vertical October 2nd
Friends,
Many thanks for the invitation. I would be delighted to attend. My wife is likely to be "with child" for no more than two more weeks, which will make things a little hectic at home, but I hope that, with careful timing of my request, I will be able to get my card stamped.

Thanks, Julian,
Hermann is just Hermann, no middle intials whatsoever. I will ask Wolfgang to get the stuff printed since I will be arriving with the plane.

The Manual wrote:The day before the tasting print the mats using a toner printer.
- Ensure that ‟No automatic page scaling” (or equivalent) is checked in the print dialogue box. (Automatic page scaling can be very wrong, scaling to invisible and irrelevant artefacts in the PDF.)
- On some Konica Minolta printers, and perhaps others, checking ‟Choose paper size by PDF page size” means the output is very small, a mirror image, and on paper of the wrong size. This is not good. On other printers this setting can be useful experiment as necessary.
- Print single-sided obviously duplex wouldn’t work.
- Use toner not ink, as a single drop of wine or water causes ink to smudge.
- Print onto brilliant white paper of the correct size. In the US prefer 96 bright paper to the slightly-yellow 92.

Axel and Wolfgang, if you don’t have access to a A3 laser printer then I’d be happy to arrange the printing as we have one at work.Axel P wrote:I will ask Wolfgang to get the stuff printed since I will be arriving with the plane.
Julian; is it just me, or is the spacing in the Optima numbers really uneven? Perhaps manually reduce the spacing between 5 and 2, 5 and 5, 7 and 0, and 7 and 5?
