[CPR 1]

Yes please, I have 'some' of this vintage and can help with adoption if needed

yes please

[rich_n]

Please can you add me to the reserves? I am interested but have no '77s so would need to work out a plan to acquire some or adopt, and the associated costs.

I'm sure that adoption will be an option here ....

Of course but I'm aware that there will be plenty of owners of the '77 vintage who would want to be part of this tasting!

[flash_uk]

Yes please

[idj123]

Yes please!

[M.Charlton]

Yes please.

[nac]

Yup. Good idea.

[jdaw1]

Yes please. I have Taylor.

[PhilW]

Yes please.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Yes please.

[winesecretary]

Yes please

[nac]

Yup. Good idea.

Think I've got Calem* (magnum only), Croft, Dow*, Fonseca*, Graham, Justerini & Brooks, Quarles Harris*, Royal Oporto, Sandeman, Taylor, & Warre (*=single bottles).

[winesecretary]

I've got Fonseca and BBR immediately to hand, will try and find the spreadsheet to track down what else.

[cem]

Yes please, I have most if not all 1st and 2nd rank producers and a few others.

[jdaw1]

I have few ’77s; CEM has many, and also I have drunk very well from from CEM’s cellar. So the fair thing is to move me to first reserve, thus promoting CEM into the fourteenth seat.

Yes please, I have 'some' of this vintage and can help with adoption if needed

Translation: ‘some’ = approximately everything, in every size.

[cem]

That's very kind of you Julian and not expected in the slightest. I'm over for 5 weeks from the 9th June so thank you.

[mcoulson]

right .... the Red Room is booked so this event is defiantly happening .....

For those of us who love the English language so much here is the missing 'definitely'

[jdaw1]

is defiantly happening

This is a Port tasting. We are not defiant revolutionaries; we are traditionalist scientists testing hypotheses.

[winesecretary]

I am all in favour of defiant port tastings. It smacks of cool rad street cred.

If I had left my device’s autocorrect, which substituted ‘defunct’, this would have read somewhat darker.

[jdaw1]

For exactly the same reason, I am defiantly against this modern nonsense.

[mcoulson]

Well I failed English O level and a fair few others.... But you all get the gist ....

The room is booked ... So it's happening

[MigSU]

You can't make a mistake in this place!

[mcoulson]

Hi Everybody,

Just starting to work out how this event will unfold …. Could you let me know what 77’s you are able to bring to the party please ? either by PM or into the thread.

Cheers

Martin

The Port Philosophical Society?

[jdaw1]

I have Taylor.

I have Taylor, Dow, Graham, Fonseca, Gould Campbell (single so corked), Gould Campbell magnum, Smith Woodhouse magnum.

[mcoulson]

Hello everybody ..... Just trying to work out what we can manage between us all here so if you haven't told me what '77 bottles you could bring could you let me know please ?

[idj123]

Of Producers that I don’t think have been offered yet, I can add RP and Calem (mag).

[flash_uk]

I am pretty sure I have one bottle left of the Ferreira (dumpy bottle), otherwise I think everything else would be matching things already out there. I’ll check and confirm.

Also realised that I have Pocas.

Said bottle located.

And I just noticed that CK77 hasn't been offered yet - I have one of the late release bottles I can offer. Previous examples of this have not woo'd the crowds, so if something needs to give to keep the botlle numbers sensible, this could be a candidate.

[mcoulson]

I've updated the front post and also found a bottle of Ferreira .... must be the phase of the moon ....

[cem]

Sorry I have been super busy and just realized that this is 4 weeks away. What do we have missing? Can someone post what is being brought so far please? (I'm not great with all the abbreviations)

[cem]

I have the following in Mags for 77

Dow, Graham, Warre, Taylor, Smith Woodhouse, Gould Campbell, Quarles Harris, Calem

-----

I don't see an N in any of what has been listed so far and I definitely have Niepoort in bottle - lots of others too but will require searching through various stores.

[winesecretary]

It’s not my tasting so its co-ordinator will comment - but from my perspective if you just turned up with the Niepoort I for one would be delighted- it’s the one I haven’t ever got my paws on.

I think that would be a great idea

[cem]

Okay I'll bring the Niepoort then!

I'll see what everyone else brings and will fill in any gaps if able.

Cliff’s post reminded me that I also have RV (in mag).

[forest26]

Can you add me to the reserves ?
Cheers

[BRPetrie]

Hi all - just to confirm, I can provide Croft 1977 for this! Hope that works.

[cem]

Since I am bringing the Niepoort VP, frankly it would be downright rude not to have the '77 Colheita too. So I'll bring that as well.

Do we have a general kick off time and what's the earliest time for room arrival?

[winesecretary]

Have stood up the Fonseca and BBR to bring back to town.

Thats very good of you - I'll be there about 4:30 ish to get things together - people always welcome to come along and help

[jdaw1]

When it’s about ready, pls make a list of shippers in attendance, so that placemats can be made.

I'll be there to help, I'll bring along a mag of 1977 Napa for pre-Port slurping as the clarets were very poor in that vintage.

[hadge]

I'm no longer 100% for this tasting, so I will drop to reserves and JDAW gets my spot.

Thank you for the seat.
