Thursday 2nd November - 1970
Thursday 2nd November - 1970
Given the time of year and that the B&F is often really busy they have asked us to book in any tastings that we want before Christmas. With this in mind and large gap between the GC tasting (10th Oct) and the BBR port walk (23rd Nov) I have enquired and booked the red room for the 2nd November.
Boot and Flogger - Red room 18:30
Suggested theme - a bottle of 1970VP sighted, no duplicates, No Hutcheson!
1) CPR - F70
2) DRL - W70
3) JDAW - D70
4) IDJ - CK70
5) BMHR - N70
6) TC - G70
7) SCD - S70
8) AJH - T 70
9) MPM Hopefully!
10)
11)
12)
Would like to but can't
1) PW
2) THRA
3) AHB
4) DRT
Current draft of the placemats:

Dow please.
Re: Thursday 2nd November
I'm in and more than happy to donate a Hutcheson to the proceedings
Re: Thursday 2nd November - 1970
Can I provisionally join you with a Noval ( need to confirm it is in the cellar!). Now to organise childcare!

I'll have to pass on this one I think. Work event. Unless I can manage to get away from the event and over to the B&F by 8 perhaps.

If you fly over to Germany, I will open 4 bottles of Niepoort 1970 the next day....

Re: Thursday 2nd November - 1970
Unfortunately can't make the date. Damn good theme, damnit!
Re: Thursday 2nd November - 1970
Yes please - Taylor's
Re: Thursday 2nd November - 1970
Could you please pencil me in with a Sandeman 70 contribution please.
Re: Thursday 2nd November - 1970
Rather surprisingly I seem to be in London on a Thursday evening when a gaggle of 1970s are to be consumed.
Please put me down for Croft.

Regret this is a little too close to Bonfire Night for me..
..but have 30 different '70s in the cellar, so let me know if any adoption is needed

Re: Thursday 2nd November - 1970
Sadly 'the' is the operative word - I only have one bottle of Ni70, and want to be around when it's opened..Quick, someone adopt the Niepoort!

Re: Thursday 2nd November - 1970
Right - mountains moved, I can now attend. Yippee!
I can bring either Calem or Gould Campbell. Which is preferred?

Re: Thursday 2nd November - 1970
Calem please. I've only had that once before and that was nearly 9 years ago.

Re: Thursday 2nd November - 1970
Unfortunately I can no longer make this evening which, given the theme, I am gutted about. Better move me to the "Would like to, but can't" list.
Sorry folks, the Graham 1970 is now needed to console me in my sadness at missing what will be a collection of no doubt fabulous, vintage ports.

Re: Thursday 2nd November - 1970
In that case can I bring G70 instead of T70. I have a lot of the former and very few of the latter.
