From
Victoria: The Queen, Julia Baird: “Queen Victoria was born, roaring, at 4:15 ᴀ.ᴍ., in the hour before dawn on May 24, 1819”.
The time convenient to us that is closest to the two hundredth anniversary of that would be the evening of Thursday 23
rd May 2019.
Our theme could be Victorian Port, or even Victorian Portuguese wine, but either theme might be a struggle for some. So perhaps “Port fit for a Queen”,
again. Or suggest other themes.

First post updated.
Theme? It could be merged with a theme already wanted — horizontal, vertical, other. Or not.

One possible theme could be the
Messias Quinta do Cachão vertical, which needs a new date. (If that, its list of attendees will have precedence over these.)

Can I please go on the list for this tasting.
Seperately for such an important event , I think a theme of British shippers is more appropriate.

Given the heritage and natural language of the monarch involved, perhaps we should allow a smattering of Germanic-shipper relatives to join the party?

Yes please.
Perhaps a theme which can be interpreted by the bringer of a bottle. "Port linked in some way with Victoria".

Theme. Anything fortified from Victoria Wine? Could be interesting, but perhaps not in a good way.

Some of my Port still has the Victoria Wine price stickers on, and we're talking decent Port like Dow 1970.

Bumped, to remind attendees that this will happen.
“Port Fit for a Queen”, again? Meaning a fine drop of something.

This will not be Quinta do Cachão, so I’m democratically declaring it to be “Port fit for a Queen”.

All very fine indeed.
Alex, Wolfgang: just in case you hadn’t noticed, bringing Dow 1878 would not cause an unwanted duplication.

Mine will be Army&Navy bottled Dow 1963! The shop was based in Victoria street which fits the theme I think! Also the Army&Navy were an important factor in the Victoria's reign!

Yes. What are you bringing? Perhaps you and AHB could jointly bring a magnum of Dow 1878?
Separately, CMAG has withdrawn.

JDAW seems very insistent that I should bring a bottle of Dow 1878. Sadly I don't have a Dow '78 at home, I drank it at the weekend. Instead I shall bring a bottle of Sandeman 1963, purchased from Victoria Wine.

Not at all. Then Ben will have to bring one.

Food: Can I deviate from my standard order and have truffle mac & cheese, followed by gammon (with black pudding) please.
Port: I'm sure Queen Victoria had many surprises for her people in her reign. So I have one for us! It is a bottle sold to me by Seckford as 'unknown port'. It might be Noval 1960. It might not. Regrettably, I just can't find the bottle of 1878 I was sure I had!
