Postponed: Port not frequently seen

[jdaw1]

This post to hold plans as and when agreed, or at least proposed.

Location: Boot & Flogger (room requested).

Theme: sighted, Port not frequently seen.

Quorum: two people shall be a quorum.

Attendees:

1. Julian W. (Passadouro 2000, Infantado 2000)
2. Alex B.
3. Neil C.
4. Martin C.
5. Tom A.
6. Ian J.

Doesn’t love us enough:

• Miguel S.
• George G.

April is looking rather dry.

Alas I can’t make the week of Mon 15th, and B&F is Tue 23rd April (corrected following AHB grumble). Can a quorum make Tuesday 9th April 2024? (Which, alas has the disadvantage of being in half term.)

Simple theme: sighted, Port not frequently seen.

..,B&F is Thu 25th April..,

No it’s not! You know it’s not because I’ve already told you it’s not!

It’s Tuesday April 23rd!!!


I might, perhaps, be able to make it.

Corrected — apols.

Is theme acceptable?

Alas, I can't make this gathering, I'm only in London from Sun 21st until Wed 24th.

Count me in - will bring a bottle that has not had a tasting note posted for fifteen years.

[idj123]

[jdaw1]

First post updated.

I’ll bring Passadouro 2000 and Infantado 2000, neither of which is frequently seen.

[BRPetrie]

Will bring 1985 Royal Oporto.

Or, how about 2001 Quinta do Vale Donna Maria - for which there's no tasting note on the index?

Organiser to decide.

Surely you already know what the organiser's reply will be...

[jdaw1]

There is to be a decanting experiment on Thursday 11th April. If people prefer that there be only one event that week (but why?), then this one will be postponed. Pls express preferences.

[mcoulson]

I'm very much up for both these events but two events in three days I fear is a bit much and more enjoyment might be had all round if we spread them out a bit ....

[jdaw1]

Postponed. I have informed the B&F of the postponement.

[Doggett]

If this is postponed until autumn I maybe able to attend.
