Pls choose what bottles are coming, and brought by whom, so that the placemats can be drafted.

I can comfortably bring up to eight bottles - more than that is hard to lug in one go..

Assuming we have a full complement of attendees, I’m considering expanding the tasting to 18 bottles.

Is this desirable?

Does it work with the placemats?

Yes. can be done as 13+5 or as 15+3 (15+3 again, and again). I think 15+3 is better, as more space efficient.

The '97 Quinta Da Corte is a decent bottle if someone in the group has one.

Added to second post, current version of the placemats. Missing the eighteenth Port, and the names of several bringers.

Sorry… had Missed this post. When it was made I was all good but may now have an issue with attending. Very much hope that won’t be the case as 1997 is a vintage I really like and I think is underrated due because of the 94s. I will be able to confirm on Monday either way.

Regrettably I need to withdraw from this tasting. Hopefully a reserve is primed and ready to go and maybe Tony can provide the SWH so that gap would be filled. I hope it is as good a tasting as I am sure it will be.

As we're now at 12 attendees with nobody on the waiting list, being reduced to 15 bottles. I'll update the list.

A number of people won't be required to supply any bottles. As such, some minor movement of funds will be required.

OK - will leave you on the reserve list.
