Hi Tom, away week of 15-19th, but 23rd or 25th look OK.

Tuesday 16th May or Wednesday 17th May fine, can't do Thursday 18th May.

May not be available the following week due to a hearing floating in that week but currently unknowable

Highly doubtful I will be able to make any dates in May or the near future so could I please be taken off the list and free up a spot.

23, 24 or 25 May work for me.

I'd be interested in this one, should there be a seat. What I have that is not on Tom's list (subject to confirmation; I am travelling at the minute) is Messias Cachao, Quinta de Covelos and Montebello (Douro Wine Shippers/Barros).

23rd or 25th should both work, I am away the previous week.

I would need to know solid date and time before I could commit.

Moses would be coming from across the Atlantic.

I'm crazy in May. can't do first week but maybe the second. maybe i will get lucky with the date.

23rd or 25th May both work for me.

Booking now confirmed for Thursday May 25th.

It’s in the diary!

Are you looking for contributions towards the line-up?

I can comfortably bring down up to eight bottles on the day, more is a bit of a struggle, unless we have an intermediate event that I can use to drop bottles off.

Big question to decide is whether to include the Nacional or not. Whilst the tasting notes on this wine are less than impressive, there hasn't been a note on this wine for over a decade now. I have a single bottle, that I've owned for seventeen years, and is in good order with what looks like a decent colour. The wine is retailing for insane amounts, but I'm happy to let mine go for £300.

Suggest a flat fee for all other bottles - does £50 sound reasonable?

Where is this being held?

Most of our events are held at the Boot & Flogger (OpenStreetMap, google.co.uk, What3Words: cafe.humid.palace, StreetMap.co.uk, bing.com).

I am in favour of flat fee structure. I have not had the nacional but would be interested to try it.

Consensus seems to be in favour of including the NN.

Could attendees volunteer bottles for inclusion please. I will then endeavour to fill the gaps.

Have Calem, Fonseca, Graham, Taylor and Warre.

Still have all of these available.

I won't be able to to make this date, sorry.

I think I have already committed to bring the Ni 83 - I managed to locate this last week in the cellar

I can send over the QH or the Berry Bros.(Warres).

I have available Graham, Offley, Ferreira Quinta do Seixo and Warre.

Do put my name down if there's a space/reserve spot

Can I get my name on the reserve list please

Davy's have emailed me asking for menu choices.

Looking at the menu it appears to have changed a little - I can't see my usual duck liver pate on the starters list..

Do they oblige our default order from their old menus or do we need to re-visit our choices?
