At the
Coronation tasting we discussed the absence of forthcoming tastings, and suggestions were made, including a 1994 horizontal (and
’66,
G|GM). You know what to do.
Previous 1994 horizontals:
11 Dec 2007 at Bistro Citron in New York (Columbus and 83rd);
08 Sep 2009 at the New Cavendish Club;
11 June 2019 at the B&F;
16 Nov 2021 at the B&F.

On the extreme off-chance that I can fly to London for this (I'm probably going to be in London around June 8-9 of 2024, so twice in one year might be pushing it), please put me on the reserve list. I have many of the '94's already listed but I also have a Burmester and a Quinta Do Crasto, which aren't on the list yet.

JDAW is rushed off his feet at the moment, so I've stepped in to take over the organising of this tasting.
As Harry has noted above, this is the Tuesday before the Easter weekend BUT, if your school holidays are the same as in our area, the schools don't break up until Good Friday so Tuesday is still school term time.
Back to practical organising - please could the following people let me know what (if any) 1994 VPs they could offer for the tasting:

I so confirm. I have the Vesuvio 1994 in London and propose to pick up the rest of ports I have proffered next weekend. If I find I have mislaid any in the interim I will let you know. I can then drink the ones we don't need for this tasting over the next few months which will be no hardship.

Confirmed.
Would prefer not to open new case from storage if avoidable; have RO and qLR to hand, or happy to adopt.

NAC Croft
MC Dow
AHB Fonseca
MPM Graham
CPR Kopke
JDAW Quinta do Noval
PW Royal Oporto
BRP Smith Woodhouse

Hello - it appears I'm now unavailable this Tuesday (very annoyingly), and so cannot take the last seat sadly (very).
