Current draft of the placemats.

At the Coronation tasting we discussed the absence of forthcoming tastings, and suggestions were made, including a 1966 horizontal (and ’94, G|GM). You know what to do.

The authorship of the first post is being changed from JDAW to NAC, as the latter has volunteered to be the organiser of this tasting.

Yes please!

Yes please! I have only Warre and Noval of that year.

HTWH asks to be added - done.

Yes please .... I have a Fonseca and might have something else not in my excel file !!!

Yes please. I might be around and available and - if I am - I love the 1966 vintage. I have Gould Campbell.

Yes please sir!

Possibly but might be out of country.

I prefer to bring Fonseca or Graham; also possible would be a Warre.

Yes please. I think F, G and W are possible.

Yes please

I can offer Offley, GC, Sandeman and Dolamore which I believe is a blend!

Yes please. F, S or W.

Yes please

Of those that I don’t believe have been currently offered, I can supply D, Df and Averys.

Hi Could I be added to this please. I will check at the weekend what 1966s I have. My user name is not that helpful I know but I am the Michael who met some of you for the first time at the BFT and also attended Quevedo tasting last year. Maybe use MJRM. Thanks.

Full. Now taking reserves.

I have Fonseca, Taylor, Graham and Smith Woodhouse. The Smith Woodhouse (Wine Society bottling) was a 1 bottle auction purchase so cannot vouch for provenance but would be an addition to the list above.

Excellent. Will probably go with your SW.

I forgot, I also have RV.

This is still a few months off, but would quite like to get the bottles sorted on this ASAP.

Please send me details of condition/provenance and costs - either PM or email to neil@colman.co.uk.

This sounds great, can I please be added to the reserves?

I wont be able to make this now

Sounds amazing- can i be added on the reserves bench? Too AJH

I can no longer make this date due to family commitments that have arisen.
