Once again it is time for me to share a bottle of 1965 VP with friends to ensure I live for at least another 12 months.

I’ve no idea how I will negotiate permission but seems like the perfect night for a 70 VP from my perspective! Count me in.

Life is such an ever changing complication at the moment. I would love to be there to celebrate another fine year for DRT but it seems unlikely that will be possible. Could I please go on a reserve list for now just in case I manage to get a pass.

It might actually be chance for my first meeting. Can I be placed as a reserve for the time being?

Unfortunately cannot make it - big week prior with ProWein, where I will be opening numerous bottles of Vintage Port from the 60s to ensure to live at least another decade...

After taking council from DRT, please put me down for a yes. First time doing something like this - considering bringing a 1980 Smith Woodhouse.

An excellent decision, and the SW80 will be a very welcome addition to the line-up, thank you.

I have no ’65s. Would you be excessively offended by a Fonseca 1966?

Shabby stuff Julian - I think you should bring two to compensate!

Don’t have two. OK, I’ll choose something else: 2×G80; or 2×RP94?
