Virtual TPF Annual Leap year tasting hosted out of NYC

[g-man]

Since i'll be spending time howling at the full moon and drinking some port.

I'll have to check to see I'm going to open.

Potentially a 76 Warres Colheita.

Will set up inet channel

[Glenn E.]

Sounds fun!

[g-man]

Oh, non binding theme
A port that has the same vintage as a leap year.

which would be for example 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992 and so on

Looking to start this @ 7pm EST.

A 7pm start will rule me out of linking up through inet Since it's a school night, I have to have finished drinking port by midnight or I will turn into a pumpkin.

[g-man]

mmm i might try to get on earlier

or Sushi may be able to like last time.

else we can keep the channel open all day so you could just sign in, see if anyone comes round

Isn't this more likely to be the reason for your non-attendance via inet?

Not at all. Davy's have a splendid free wifi service that I was happily using to work at TCP on Wednesday afternoon and I'm sure that I hooked up to it on the one occasion I have visited TBH. I anticipated that if Jeff or Josh were on inet when we arrived at TBH we would be able to link up through the Davy wifi.

Or perhaps I might be too optimistic...

Won't it be lunchtime in NYC when we start this tasting?

[SushiNorth]

Sadly I'll be busy on leapeve :/

[g-man]

Acutally

we might have to change this to a pre leap year celebration
or the TPF, "I don't believe in leap days due to a rounding error" tasting on the 28th

[g-man]

Looks like the london guys started drinking with no inet connection.
