here's the menu for savoia

Perhaps we should order food when we start our first flight with the food arriving when we finish with our first round of tastings?

I'd like to thank Jay for hosting it at his house too.

Does this mean that we have two Erics?

the other eric bailed, but tPf Eric has kindly donated his Fonseca to our cause.

Based on Jeff's work, it sounds like a 6:30 pm start.

• Niepoort 1992 (Jay);

Different Dave: initials DC, messaged me and confirmed he will be attending on thursday. He too will need to adopt a bottle.

Sorry for long delay I suck at communications
I have been looking foward to my second port night for a while.
As mentioned earlier in thread and my g-man I would need to source, otherwise you name the time and place and I will be there.

G-man are you heading in from work or home? If at home I can meet you there.

Maybe I should not go if it is in Someone's house, Joking. (I will be on my best behavior)
Thanks for the hospitality/opening your hime Jay... and I hereby open my house for an offline once the construction is done (three more months I am told), so come end of summer we can have one on Long Island.

I am glad to hear that Different Dave is making the tasting. Six works just fine.

Decanting times? My thought is about four hours before the tasting (for those of us who have the flexibility). What do you think Eric and others?

P.S. Jeff, did you send Dave directions?

I did not give Dave your address.

Julian:

A correction. The Fonseca is also unfiltered. They just started making unfiltered LBV's.

Jay:

FYI: As far as decanting times goes, I will have to decant mine before I leave for work in the morning, so mine will be decanted for around 9 hours.

Different Dave:

Did you want to adopt one of mine? Here's what I have to choose from: Sao Pedro 1997, Quinta da Peca 2000 and Quinta do Santa Eufemia 2000. Let me know if you want to adopt any of those.

One filtered, for comparison, would be worthwhile.

Got the directions, thank you.
Eric I would like to adopt anyone of the three you can choose, surprise the group (may not work for placemats though) as I am not familiar with any of them. Thanks for the offer.
I will bring money with me on Thursday.

I just picked up a Dow 2001, which is filtered. As Julian suggested, we should have at least one filtered LBV for comparison, so how about I bring the Dow instead of the Fonseca and allow Dave to adopt that instead. So I would be contributing the Javali and the Castelinho, and Dave would be contributing the Dow. Does that work for everyone?

Works for me.

Sounds good to me, looking forward to tomorrow night

Hey Eric,

do you think we can replace the Caselinho 1997 (Eric); with the Fonseca 2001 .

That way we have a mini 01 horizontal of LBVs?

I can grab a 01 Taylor LBV as well if needed/wanted.

New state of play — please confirm.

To the best of my knowledge Taylor do not produce unfiltered LBV.

Have fun guys

Derek (Attendee in spirit)

Placemats updated. Somebody please check (and admire the new technology).

Julian, everything looks fine. I especially like the different typefaces for unfiltered and filtered LBVs. A nice visual touch.

Thank you for noticing. They aren’t quite different typefaces though; they’re just switched from inside to outside.

I would join you with a virtual contribution, but nasty Derek has locked away all my LBVs somewhere cold, damp and dark and says I can't have them back for at least 5 years.

Alex

Your correct on the 2001 taylor my bad

Rozès 1994 LBV just decanted.
