Way back in August 2014, AHB lessened his stack of excess bottles with “A Cellar Reduction Party”. My turn.

Bring yourself. I’ll bring some oddments which might interest.

Current planning is:

1. Quinta do Crasto Touriga Nacional 2006;
2. Offley 1980;
3. Offley 1972;
4. Delaforce 1970;
5. Dow 1970;
6. Graham Malvedos 1990;
7. Royal Oporto 1977;
8. Nacional 1987;
9. Taylor 1955 (low-fill);
10. KWV 1985 Vintage ‘Port’, from South Africa.

If we are too many people for just these, I’ll add some more.

Of course, if any of the rarities are wanted for a better purpose (horizontal, vertical, whatever) then those can be withdrawn.

Who’s in?

I would love to join! Might need to work out where I'll stay, but I can sort something out.

Apologies, misread the date and I don't think I can make this.

Your oddments are of great interest to a child of 1970, but unfortunately I don't think I can join you. If you need to reduce your cellar any more of such oddments, do let me know!

Yes please!

[nac]

Yup.

[nac]

Yup.

Damn. Just realised can't do Tuesday 8th. Have already given up QLL that night.

[nac]

Should you decide a different evening would suffice, then I'm almost certainly available.

...and I'll bring something interesting that I promise won't be Sherry.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Would the date originally planned for the Library Release v UK Stored be suitable for this tasting? 16th Feb?

[nac]

The booking is still available. I have yet to update B&F.

...and now maybe available again.

[Doggett]

Wish I could, would love to see an Offley 72 out perform a Nacional… but having two nights away this week and another would be a tasting too far.

[winesecretary]

Alas cannot do the 8th. Could (would!) do the 16th.

Sorry can't do 8th. 16th works if the date changes.

[akzy]

If moved to 16th, I would want to attend.

[hadge]

sorry can't do the 8th, can do 16th

[idj123]

Can currently make both the date proposed and the 16th.

16th it is.

I’ve attempted to update the attendees consistent with that. Please report corrections, and additions.

[CPR 1]

16th it is.

Just confirming my Yes please

[Doggett]

Unable to do this date unfortunately, but I wish you all a good evening helping Julian very generously make space for more Port in his cellar!

[nac]

Yup - can do.

[flash_uk]

Both days ok for me

[benread]

16th not an option for me I am afraid. Have fun.
