I’m under-Ported. Aren’t we all. Which wasn’t a question.
On my death row awaiting their moment are two pairs, Pt 99 and GM 99, and Mz 87 and GM 87, either or both pairs being available. Or something else if a more specific theme emerges.
Proposed date is Tuesday 14ᵗʰ January 2025 , but that could be responsive to popular opinion.
You know what to do. Do it.
And do it with extracts from the menu , for me being:
• Bottle of Doom;
• Soup of the day;
• Pie of the day (if meat—and I hope for lamb) + skinny fries;
• Welsh Rarebit and Bramdean Pudding.

Given the disorderliness of the queue, I have added a reserve list to the top post.

Can't make I'm afraid. All of next week is fairly busy.

I’m definitely up for an 1878 horizontal. Just not next week. Sorry.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

It seems that even putting all my ’78s on the table is not enough to entice out you stay-at-home party-poopers.
I will cancel the B&F booking.

If I may adopt a bottle I am totally on! Perhaps I can match with a -78 from an adjacent century?

You may adopt all of the 1878s so far pledged.
