The food order.

Current version of the placemats.

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.

[DRT]

[flash_uk]

First post updated.

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

[M.Charlton]

I should like to attend.

[idj123]

Should work for me.

[jdaw1]

I’m going to assume that currently-on-holiday THRA wants to attend.

[jdaw1]

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.)

[Christopher]

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.

[DRT]

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

[Alex Bridgeman]

Yes please.

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

[DaveRL]

Can I also go on the list please.

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

[jdaw1]

Vetoed.

[Alex Bridgeman]

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

[jdaw1]

Bumped, to remind attendees that this will happen.

“Port Fit for a Queen”, again? Meaning a fine drop of something.

[WS1]

If there is still space I would like to attend too. Just to add some Germanic touch!

What Germanic? You’re one of us.

[WS1]

True! But I am a German.citizen too!

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

[flash_uk]

Yes please.

Sadly I have to drop out. Away with a work event.

[jdaw1]

I’m democratically declaring it to be “Port fit for a Queen”.

Which, in my case, will be Warre 1966.

Others: please reveal.
