Do we need to switch to a tunnel if there are 7 of us?

7 is too many for the Board Room - a tunnel would be better.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

This is good news - tunnel is confirmed and we now have:

7 confirmations
-Oscar (I am assuming Oscar has confirmed to AHB, but if you are reading...please confirm!)
-Cookie
-Jacob H
-Caroline
-RAYC
-Uncle Tom
-WS1

1 probable (subject to delivery)
-Ben Read

2 possibles (Crusting Pipe were relatively relaxed about numbers, but would be good to get them a "best indication" on Friday)
-KillerB
-angeleyes

For the purposes of the placemats, please may I confirm surname initials for Caroline ("R"?) and Mark (a.k.a. angeleyes).

I will aim to be there from 6.00 on Monday

Cheers

Rob

Rob: you are making the placemats. Will you also be printing them?

Yes - I had proposed to.

If someone was planning to arrive earlier than 6.00 and has a printer that will do the job, though, it may make sense for them to print (and get started with the set-up). If that is the case, let me know and I will email the .pdf over the weekend.

See you all on Monday! Everything blind tasting, right?

Are 2010 Ports allowed?

Oscar,

The only rule that has been introduced over and above the obvious (this is The Port Forum) is:
  • "bring a bottle of something suitable wrapped in tin foil"
Provided the 2010 is sufficiently far advanced to be recognisable as Port, and wrapped in tin foil (which The Crusting Pipe can always provide) I would suggest it is allowed!

It would of course also be analysed with much interest by the bunch of geeks we are!

Look forward to seeing you tomorrow. (Assuming I remain able to get there!)

Hi Cookie,

this is sad news. Wish you a speedy recovery! Maybe you did not drink not enough Port and became sick due to that :lol:
