If we are having the Sandeman, please could we also have the Vau?

Have stock

nac wrote: ↑10:38 Tue 26 Apr 2022 Phil - you're back at the top of the list and there's a space. Do you want it?

Tom - we already have the SV, but I've been unable to obtain the S (despite buying a case of it & it actually being S77). Do you have it?

No - Sogrape's UK VP distribution went off the rails during the late 80's and 90's - there's just no old stock around of Sandeman, Offley or Ferreira.

George has retired now, so I don't know who a bottle might best be begged from in Pt..

PhilW wrote: ↑12:42 Tue 26 Apr 2022 Still unlikely, sorry. Might be able to do last minute flying visit if a spot still open at the time, but won't know until that week.

Screagle wrote: ↑10:50 Tue 30 Nov 2021 Perhaps I could be added to the reserves? I have SW and Pç currently available as well as SV in magnum.

The other notable exception so far is Noval. Seems to be equally rare

Screagle wrote: ↑17:11 Fri 29 Apr 2022 Nac, apologies for my tardiness; I won't be able to make this event - Monday's and Tuesday's generally don't work for me...

uncle tom wrote: ↑07:32 Tue 12 Apr 2022 Even if I don't make the cut, don't rule me out for contributions - my cellar is designed to fuel events.

Tom - you have now made the cut. I assume you want the place?

Will W. wrote: ↑21:37 Sat 30 Apr 2022 NAC - I plan to attend (and apologies for the late response). I have left the bottles in the UK already?

Done.

uncle tom wrote: ↑07:32 Tue 03 May 2022 I can comfortably bring up to eight bottles - more than that is hard to lug in one go..

Proposed line-up (subject to some final availability confirmations & a full attendance) with one space available.

Is there anything that is currently not included that should be (apart from the elusive Sandeman)?

Doggett wrote: ↑06:39 Tue 10 May 2022 Regrettably I need to withdraw from this tasting. Hopefully a reserve is primed and ready to go and maybe Tony can provide the SWH so that gap would be filled. I hope it is as good a tasting as I am sure it will be.

OK - will leave you on the reserve list.
