I have not organized a tasting for some time and have been squirreling away vintages of Ferreira (amongst others)

It would be nice to pull out a few bottles in good company and perhaps invite Luis.

September is looking pretty free in the TPF calendar (yes I realise it is harvest time) - so flexible on exact dates at this stage

I’m in.

Yes please.

Have pretty much nothing apart from the 1945.

Count me in. Have one bottle of the ‘77. Not much else. Thanks!

Would be interested but would probably have to adopt.

Most definitely, yes please. Have '60 and '70.

Yes please. I think that I have absolutely nothing. (It’s a vertical; there will have to be a £ rebalancing.)

Yes please.

I can’t do 5th Sep but and free for most of the rest of the month.

Stick me down please.

Don't have many vintages, but can supply:

1978
1977
1970

If I can adopt I would be interested.

I'll consult THE book as to what was produced

I have to hand 08, 45, 52, 58, 60 , 63, 70, 75(need to check), 77, 78, 78mag, 85 then some more recent examples.
Also some earlier bottles.

Could I please be added dependent on the date in September. Would need to adopt please.

I think that i have 75 and 94, i'm sure there are few others somewhere

I have 85, 77, 94, and maybe something else?

Tony - any thoughts on a date for this?

I’ve offered to help Tony on the admin for this tasting. I’ll take a look at, and suggest, some possible dates shortly.

Looking at dates which might work for this tasting - how would the first week of October fit into people's diaries? That is, week commencing Monday 2nd October? That gives us a 2 week gap from the 1966 horizontal. Or the week before half term, that would be week commencing Monday 16th October.

If we want a bigger gap between major tastings we're looking at Feb 2024.

Those dates all work - Tue or Wed generally work better.

Week starting October 2nd would work for me, as would the following week starting Oct 9th (or the week prior starting 25th Sep).
Second half of October much trickier for me.
