There should be, on its 20th Anniversary, a reprise of
the first tasting at which there were placemats made by the software, which was on 30th November 2002, at which were Warre 1970, Fonseca 1970, Croft 1970, Sandeman 1970 single and magnum, Sandeman 1960, and Sandeman 1977.
Compare placemats for the 30 Nov 2002 tasting:
artisanal first draft with
industrial version used.
Those with a long memory might recall my failure to book a room for the
15th Anniversary. And, yes, moments ago an email was sent to the B&F.
Who’s interested in a tasting to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of
The Placemat Software?

I’m sure I have a Warre 1970, or perhaps it is a Fonseca 1970, I could contribute.

Splendid. Thank you.
The
2002 tasting had six people, and seven different Ports. The 20
22 tasting might have most of fourteen people, so will need more Ports. Hence bottles are not tightly restricted to those present at the earlier tasting.
I’m confident that we have enough bottles on the theme of ‘Sandemans, and 1970s’.

I'd love to join but can't provide any of those specific ports. I can certainly rustle up a bottle that would be befitting of its company though!

The W70 is the only one of those I have. But, as with others, I have other wines of appropriate stature.

It’s unlikely that there will be attendance by all of
SCP-DFS,
SRG, and
HEG, but this won’t be known until September. So early names on the reserve list will have a fair chance of promotion.

Apologies, but I’m going to have to drop out of this one too. My diary is getting extremely congested in the run up to Christmas.

I am afraid I too will need to step down from this one as there is a lot going on around that time and I need to keep bringing in some money! Good to see there is a health waiting list so I hope it is a great success and also to be at a future placemats anniversary tasting.

Still available if promoted from the bench. Can definitely bring a 1970. How about newly acquired OBV or Delaforce?

I would also be available if promoted with a Fonseca 1970.

Can also offer W70 as it looks like those intending to bring this are no longer attending.
