Oh Ben. Getting involved with the Port Forum is so dangerous. I remember when you buying 1963 VP was a pipe dream.

Now look at you. Not one; not two; but three different 1963 Vintage Ports - and all top drawer 1963 Vintage Ports too.

I am proud of you, our Port Forum Padwan.

Oky doky ... after a rather splendid evening yesterday at Tom's organisation we now have two more attendees and yet more 60/63/66 port to choose from.

I've updated the Arnold Rimmer revision sheet on the second post and corrected the double entry of Noval ... well done Charles for spotting that - I did wounder who would spot that test that I put in there .... couple more declarations from people and we can start the 'discussion' as to what producers to bring along.

Regretfully, I must back out of this tasting. Martin reserved me a spot after we talked during the Graham vertical so that I could have an opportunity to check availability, but there's just too much going on around the end of July for me to take another week-long vacation to London.

It looks like an absolutely fantastic tasting!

Even if I offer to bring the Port for our lunch again?

You torture me!

Apologies folks, I now cannot make this one. Darn shame, as I am sure there will be some lovely port on the table!

[mcoulson]

couple of spaces left on this particular sillyness if your at a loose and on the 23rd .....

[mcoulson]

So with much fiddling I have chosen the ports for the evening and hopefully accommodated what everybody has.

Please check the front post to make sure I have you down as providing a port that you actually have and please shout if we have a problem.

Thanks to those who have agreed to provide two ports to make the numbers work

It should be fun as the evening is a repeat of the original tasting but with the addition of Warre’s

There are still two seats available for the evening and adoption is possible

[mcoulson]

Everybody has a default food order except Tony and my guest

Tony can I please have you food choices ….

Anybody else who would like something different from there default food order please tell me now

check out the menu available from the Boot & Flogger

If there is still room (which from the first post I think there might be), it's looking likely that I could make this tasting.
I have options on what I could bring, suggest W63 would seem the obvious choice given current assignments.

Default food order works for me. Thanks - I’m really looking forward to this!

Could I please have soup for starter on this occasion, if the order hasn't gone in yet? (no worries if it has)
