I promised to organise a tasting in August and have been very slow to do so. But I have my act together now.

Wednesday next week. In the Green Room at the Boot & Flogger since the larger rooms are taken. This limits the number of people to 8 at the most.

Theme: Port (of any kind) younger than the 1815 vintage. Served blind.

People:

1. Alex B
2. Julian
3. Martin
4. Neil

Current draft of the placemats.

Tentative - will know by Monday AM.

I'm up for this ... I might even have a bottle of post 1815 port that I can bring ... May I join in please....

Maybe. Will confirm on Monday.

Can’t join you alas. Have fun!

Attendance confirmed.
Will check cellar for a post 1815 bottle.

Is this blind or sighted?

Blind sounds like fun .. if there are not too many of us I was going to bring some halfs !

Current draft of the placemats added to the first post.

I cannot attend - my sincere apologies.

We’ll miss you, but thanks for letting us know.

Unless numbers increase should we ask to move to one of the smaller rooms (assuming availability)?

I'm working in Bermondsey on Wednesday afternoon so aiming to get to B&F around 1700.

That could be offered.

I have advised the B&F that we will likely be 4-5 people. They are happy to leave us in the Green Room unless someone else asks to use it.

I’d also quite like to be in a room with air conditioning.

Who can print? (Not I.)

Good point. Forget what I said.

Thank you.

I’m likely to head into London early. If anyone wants to meet for a drink in 67 before the B&F, let me know.

I might be in town in the late afternoon, i will message you if so. I have a dinner already so that is why I can't join you all.

Selection made. Will be decanted tomorrow midday, and kept cool.

Decanted this morning at 0800. Getting a couple of hours before being rebottled. Jury currently out re quality/condition.

Also bringing bonus starter bottle of Douro red. If nobody else is there will drink it by myself.
