Quinta de la Rosa LBV and Vintage - cancelled

forest26 · Post by **forest26** » 22:04 Tue 22 Dec 2020

Event cancelled - cannot get enough numbers for May 10

As discussed at the recent online QdlR tasting - LBV and Vintage
Live tasting @ B&F Time TBC (but suggest an early start as there are a lot of wines to taste) - Venue confirmed
Sophia has confirmed

I have the following already set aside - it will be easiest for me to supply (in exchange for a donation to charity). There are a few gaps which I might be able to resolve with Sophia.

Given the large number of bottles - I suggest that the placemats are reserved for older vintages and those years with equivalent LBV's. The more recent vintages could be free-pour on a separate table.

Bottles:

1988 Vintage
1990 Vintage
1991 Vintage
1992 Vintage
1994 Vintage
1995 Vintage
1996 Vintage
1997 Vintage
1999 Vintage
2003 Vintage
2004 Vintage
2009 Vintage
2011 Waitrose Vintage
2014 Vintage
2015 Vintage
2016 Vintage
2017 Vintage
2018 Vintage
1990 LBV
1992 LBV
1994 LBV
1995 LBV
1999 LBV
2011 LBV (Mag)

I will need to confirm, but yes please, count me in.
I have a bottle of the 2011 VP that was made for Waitrose I would be happy to contribute. I believe it was the main blend rather than a Wine buyer selection, but Sophia can confirm this.

That judicial review form that kept me in the office until midnight has a lot to answer for now. Please put me on the reserve list (assuming it to be a tasting for 14).

rich_n · Post by **rich_n** » 01:12 Wed 23 Dec 2020

Yes please! I'm intrigued based on the LBV I tried on the recent tasting.

Current draft of the placemats for this de la Rosa event inspired by the TSQ50 circle in at the Taylor vertical of 22 Mar 2013 (PNG, placemats, in list of, organisation thread, review thread).

A2, trimmed at bottom by 81.5mm, so cut paper size 594mm×338.5mm. Circle diameter ≈ 88.8mm ≈ 3.50″. Comment welcomed.

Please add me to the reserve list thanks

Post by **jdaw1** » 21:54 Wed 12 May 2021

There were three days with a flurry of posts, since when five months of silence.

• Is this likely to happen?
• Tony: do you have all the bottles?
• Did you book the Red Room? [I phoned; no you didn’t; I have; 16:00 on Thu 8th July.]
• Is everybody still planning to attend? (If not, doubtless waitlisters would like to be advanced.)
• Does Sophia still have a guest? Who?

Who can print onto A2 (current draft of the placemats)?

Doggett · Post by **Doggett** » 22:30 Wed 12 May 2021

Confirming in the hope it is still happening.

Sorry to be missing. Pour a little out for the homies

forest26 · Post by **forest26** » 11:20 Thu 13 May 2021

I need to confirm with Sophia as this was planned some time ago and I wanted to wait for restrictions to end before organising

I have most bottles put aside already

Thanks for booking the room

Sophia has confirmed !
She has also declared a 2019

As this was set up some time ago and there is a waiting list - I would be grateful if you can reconfirm !

I’m still up for this. Loved her wines when I have found them to try.

I'm still available for this. She was a great host for the online one we had; hopefully carries this even better in person.

I’m paying attention, and trying to nudge things along. So I’m in — doh.

My question was about Sophia. She has two places reserved, one for her, one for an unnamed guest. Is she two or is she one?

Waiting for a definitive response as her acceptance was in the singular.

I would love to be there but,as it is touch and go whether I will have received my second jab, I will have to get off the fence and say no. Bump one up from the waiting list. Any chance of a live link Julian/Tony?

Perhaps this is something we should add to our standard tasting practice — start a separate thread — but is beyond my available tools and skills.

BBC: 21 June: End of England's Covid lockdown could be delayed by one month

The government is considering delaying the lifting of England's remaining Covid restrictions by up to four weeks, sources have told the BBC.

The final stage of lifting lockdown, originally planned to take place no earlier than 21 June, would see all legal limits on social contact removed.

It comes amid growing concern over rapidly increasing cases and the higher transmissibility of the Delta variant.

Downing Street sources emphasised that no final decision has been made yet.

Data is still being examined ahead of a final announcement scheduled for Monday, but a Whitehall source said a number of options were being considered and the four-week delay was currently the main one.

Pushing the date back would allow the vaccination programme to take greater effect, as the rollout moves through to younger age groups.

Mon 21st June + 4 weeks = Mon 19th July.

Financial Times: Johnson set to delay lockdown easing in England by one month

Boris Johnson is set to delay the lifting of remaining coronavirus restrictions in England for a month after his chief medical adviser pressed him to postpone the move following a surge in Covid-19 cases.

The restrictions are meant to be removed on June 21, but Chris Whitty, England’s chief medical officer, has sought a four-week delay. The prime minister is due to make an announcement on Monday.

Presumably all this is the forewarning of the announcement on Mon 14th June.

forest26 · Post by **forest26** » 06:34 Sat 12 Jun 2021

Yes following this closely. We should have a better idea on Monday so will need to make a decision then.

forest26 · Post by **forest26** » 22:01 Mon 14 Jun 2021

Thwarted by Boris again..... first he cancels my trip to Porto this week and now this.....

Sorry we will have to postpone this and look for alternative dates in what is a packed schedule later in the year. - I'll contact Sophia tomorrow

On the plus side I might have my second jab by then so will join the waiting list. Not sure of the rules but does the fact I gave up my place voluntarily put me up the queue; over to Julian and Derek.

I predict a riot.

Most definitely. Or at least it would if I was the organiser, but since I’m not I can’t make the decision. So, I’m other words, I’m the good cop and Tony’s the bad cop.

Interestingly that as far as Boris is concerned, you are free to travel to and from the UK since you are in the Common Travel Area.
