Thank you for penciling me in! I had some technical difficulties registering on the site but finally got it worked out with a little help from Alex. I'm very much looking forward to this awesome lineup of port and seeing many of the folks that I met at last year's Dow's vertical. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you guys out with the organizing.

Cheers,

LH

Greetings all! I hope you are all doing well. Please count me in for 3/17. I look forward to much to this line up.

Also, G-Man, if you still have bottles for adoption, please let me know whether I should mail you a check now.

There is a split cost of a Taylor 70 and a 63 that needs to be adopted

and you have been added john

JohninNYC · Post by **JohninNYC** » 02:43 Mon 20 Feb 2012

Great, thank you! Whoever is "adopting out" , let me know so I can bring the correct $ to contribute. If they are spoken for, I'll donate the $ instead - whichever works best for the group.

g-man · Post by **g-man** » 03:22 Tue 21 Feb 2012

Dave please post what you are bringing

JohninNYC · Post by **JohninNYC** » 14:56 Tue 28 Feb 2012

Is anyone looking to split the cost of a $180 bottle adoption? (Is there anyone who doesn't yet have a bottle?)

Currently, everyone is contributing ~$200 toward wine in the form of a bottle adoption or bringing an appropriate bottle from the list g-man provided.

JohninNYC wrote:Is anyone looking to split the cost of a $180 bottle adoption? (Is there anyone who doesn't yet have a bottle?)

john, the average cost of the bottles to all of us supplying is 160-210$

it'd only be fair if you cover the cost of an unadopted bottle.

JohninNYC · Post by **JohninNYC** » 16:19 Tue 28 Feb 2012

OK. I'm in. I wasn't aware of the average cost until just now. (I was responding to one of the messages left above (` 5 msgs up) about the bottle that was for a split). Of course, as stated above, I will donate the $ if there are no more bottles to adopt. Anyway, see you on the 17th.

Looking at the tasting plan now...
you know, if we are going to do this, I have Taylor 77, 80, and 85. Add them and we've got the lineup.

DifferentDave and Chris+1 both still need bottles, so that'd work out in that regard as well.

Amazing how things develop on TPF. This started out as a "drink some old leakers" tasting and is now a 35-year span of Taylor VPs.

g-man · Post by **g-man** » 12:48 Fri 02 Mar 2012

I forgot to mention,

please bring Cash everyone

it should be 100$ for the meal + whatever monies for bottle adoptions if you're adopting.

Unless someone wants to put a 1400-1500$ bill on their CC/

SushiNorth · Post by **SushiNorth** » 15:49 Fri 02 Mar 2012

Do we have the list of attendees finalized (with confirmation from each)? Who's unconfirmed? and do we have additional seats that we would like to fill?

Finally, Jeff, what time can you and I arrive to set up, pour, etc? I'd like to get all of the handled before everyone arrives.

g-man · Post by **g-man** » 16:27 Fri 02 Mar 2012

If they take AmEx, I might as well. Bring cash to give me and I'll do "bank of dinner" on my CC for the points.

SushiNorth wrote:Finally, Jeff, what time can you and I arrive to set up, pour, etc? I'd like to get all of the handled before everyone arrives.

I can probably show up early to help with setup/pouring also.

they do, but I prefer to leave the tip in cash.

g-man · Post by **g-man** » 20:46 Fri 02 Mar 2012

Okay, if the unknowns/unconfirmed do not respond to me by march 9th, they will be dropped from this list.

which should put us at 11 people, but i made reservations for 14.

We'll need to know what your second bottle is, too. Second you could bring a 1992 Taylor to contrast with first you's 1994 Taylor.

Chris -- she'll be bringing one from your/her collection, yes? (I have one for adopt if needed, but happy to leave it in the cellar)

This just leaves us with one gap: 1980. I have one, got it specifically for a taylor vert, which we are now having. Do we have someone to adopt? Or should I go to my fallback plan (i have one, of course).

I count only 11 Ports for 12 people. This is clearly insufficient.

Include the '80... I'll bring some extra cash to help cover the cost.

Glenn, if no-one else will be adopting it, it will be provided by a secret-sponsor.

So, in appreciation of g-man hooking me up at an informal Port gathering last night I offered to donate a bottle of Vargellas 95 to Saturday's lineup (I think it would be interesting to taste a more recent Vargellas against those from the 60's). G-man feels this might be overkill. What say you fellow tasters, the more Port the better or would one more bottle be too much?

I'd say bring it as a backup. With as many bottles as we're opening, one is likely to be bad and will need to be replaced.

Worst case, it can serve as a nightcap.
