And I will be bringing a non-trade guest (DEA), and am changing my bottle to a magnum of Dow 1970.

Agghh. A giant blunder, not putting this in my diary and now I have committed to something else. Grrrr.

And my blunder for not removing you from the first post. Sorry.

There will be four toasts, at 6½pm sharp.

➊ The Queen.
➋ The Happy Couple.
➌ The Port Forum.
➍ Vintage Port.

The monarchy being the most ancient institution, the first of these will be done with the oldest Port at table. But with which should the others be done?

I’ll encourage les autres by showing enthusiasm.
• Duck liver pâté.
• Gammon with everything including Ian’s egg.

Please, port revelations from Derek, Mike, Wolfgang S. And a shipper name from Tony.

Food orders please, from the usual menu.

Draft of the placemats added to first post. Some Ports not yet revealed. Some initials unknown. Work to be done.

The Symingtons will inform the press today that they are releasing the following Vintage Ports of 2016: Graham’s Graham’s, The Stone Terraces Dow’s Warre’s Cockburn’s Smith Woodhouse Quinta do Vesuvio and Capela do Vesuvio Quinta de Roriz I am sure there is more to arrive soon. for all our Port com...

Draft of the (more decorative than usual) placemats added to first post. Some people haven’t revealed, or revealed only partly.

I have sent a message to some of our USA-located friends, who might (and might not) reply.

By Thursday 19^th April it will have been ages since the last tasting. Would any folks be available for an emergency?

Within reach I have a DB92, some Warre LBV, and a ’77 magnum. Perhaps one of those could inspire a theme.

This post to hold arrangements as and when agreed.

Date: Thursday 19^th April.

Theme: ???

Done.

Alex B. was born in 1963, and has tasted many (many!) 1963s. He might never had had the Fs63. Please could it be saved for an evening which he could attend? (Or, if you have enough of them, would you be willing to sell one for me to give him?)

If we are to be drinking leaky bottles at £956 a pop I will be out.

Let's get sensible gents.

This decision has been made as an exercise of the organiser’s authority. It is not a team vote.

One post (#108567) has been moved to the same topic in Selling Port. This topic has been locked.

Food order created. After it has been checked it can be sent to the B&F.

PLacemats updated. Please check for errors.

Will update placemats this evening.

Do you wait be to assemble the food order?

Instead of /OvertitleMaxFontSizeProportionTitles 0.125 def it would have been better to do /OvertitleMaxFontSizeProportionTitles 0.166666666 def /FontSizesRatioAboveBelowOverMin 999 def So it could be a user error. But I think a change of default for FontSizesRatioAboveBelowOverMin would be advisabl...

Would vote for "worth it". This will not get cheaper.

At that money I’m firmly against.

Let’s discuss in person on 8^th May.

In the above, the 1963 over Ck and Mz are clearly smaller than those over G and D; perhaps some form of proportion since the Mz and Ck are in a smaller font than G and D (being maximised to fit within circles), but it would look better if all the 1963s were the same size font. I don't know how the ...

Please:
• Duck liver paté;
• Gammon with everything.
