Charles, my humble — most humble — apologies, but as number 14 on the list I might need to bump you in favour of an industry guest. I really apologise for having not realised this when I ran through the posts and put together the list of attendees.
Noted. Thank you George.winesecretary wrote: ↑22:34 Fri 12 May 2023 Alex, bump me to reserves not Charles, I am doing very well on tastings this year

w/c 2nd October good for me; can't do w/c 16thAlex Bridgeman wrote: ↑14:20 Fri 12 May 2023 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.
Suggest we wait until after Sao Joao festival before finalising. Would be nice to have our industry guest along!PhilW wrote: ↑14:53 Fri 12 May 2023Week starting October 2nd would work for me, as would the following week starting Oct 9th (or the week prior starting 25th Sep).Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑14:20 Fri 12 May 2023 Looking at dates which might work for this tasting - how would the first week of October fit into people's diaries?

Second half of October much trickier for me.
