Re: Fiftieth Anniversary - Wednesday 19th May
Could I be penciled in, please? Though I'm afraid I'm in KillerB, Keytohiway's category, so I will defer to them if not enough bottles can be found...

OK! OK! Husband can go. AND he can go to the tasting on the 14th May. I have no idea which one that is. I just know he wants to go to a tasting on the 14th and the 19th. (I'm so good to my hubby.)
Have fun boys!

Re: Fiftieth Anniversary - Wednesday 19th May
Hutcheson???
Look, when I, Supreme Commander, orders you boys "to have fun", it does indeed mean to make the most of this tasting. But even if Hutcheson ever did declare in 1960 or any other year for that matter, you're not allowed to have Hutcheson. Period.
Carry on.

Re: Fiftieth Anniversary - Wednesday 19th May
True. But look at your footnote - the first duty of port is to be red. Whn was the last time you saw a Hutcheson that was red AND more than ten years old?

Re: Fiftieth Anniversary - Wednesday 19th May
It is with an imense pleasure and HONOUR that i'm going to be in this tasting!
Re: Fiftieth Anniversary - Wednesday 19th May
Just a small question, can you tell me which bottles are already confirmed in the tasting? I supose a Vesuvio 94 is not enough Joking!
Re: Fiftieth Anniversary - Wednesday 19th May
At this stage we are juggling. Say what you have, and it will go in the mix with what others have. Somebody will suggest that person A bring bottle α, person B bring β, etc. Please, what 1960s do you have (that you might be willing to contribute)?
Re: Fiftieth Anniversary - Wednesday 19th May
i'm trying to sort out some bottles with my friend Gustavo. I'll get back to you soon.. Cheers!
Re: Fiftieth Anniversary - Wednesday 19th May
Gustavo and Raul have adopted Ferreira 1960 and Quinta do Rei 1960 to contribute to the line-up.
