I'd like to add that I had a free one of these as one was faulty. The "faulty" one was purely excellent. Still very fruity and high on sugar and needing a good several year still!

Please can you pm me your email and I'll send a teams invite.

Cross checked the placemats with the posts and they look good to me. Would someone be able to print?

Voting is closed. Many thanks for those who did.

I've removed Glenn from the in-person tasting given I havent heard anything about him flying over - I have added him to the online option for which I'll send a link shortly. Would someone be able to check with Tony if he is still keen?

If you would, placemats are greatly appreciated.
We are sighted.

Only two days left for voting.

Please can those attending announce what they plan to bring and additionally choose their food selection https://davybars.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws ... g-Bars.pdf

Many thanks, Alex and Zak. Hopefully the tech will pull through on the evening! Thank us when it works... You'll all be pleased to know that the prizes are ready; some being of far better quality than the others. Blame the manufacturer. Also, please note that voting closes in one week so do get you...

Sure, let's try that. I was also considering whether we should just stream to YouTube given back and forth between a large in person group and those online will be tricky. Either way, I'll bring my laptop.

I forgot about the online aspect. I will try broadcast the awards bit but believe it will be troublesome for engagement for the entire evening.

Again, please vote if you haven't. https://forms.gle/z1ExxDnyBsQ6t52t7

No worries Simon. By the looks of it, there will likely be free spots remaining for a change of circumstance.
Please vote regardless of attendance. Same goes for all people viewing this.

For those planning on attending, please announce what you will be bringing. I will bring a Smith Woodhouse 70.

Great news - there will be at least one prize which only looks a little shoddy!
Also, please get your votes in. You don't have to be there to vote.

Theme : Bring a bottle suitable for The Port Forum Awards ceremony.

Will clarify in voting - I interpret it at what producer have you enjoyed the most in general this year.

In future general declarations, we can do it on the most recent vintage.

No. Stick with your nominations - although you might need to clarify how we decide on “Producer of the Year”. Of course, you might have to give in and add a seventh category as soon as I get a second person to sign up to my overwhelming tidal wave of a campaign. This campaign has proven too strong ...

Still have time to be brought back however several questions must be satisfactorily answered - namely; 1. How are the nominations produced? 2. What is removed?

Gutted to see the one category I might have won has been dropped from the list. I’m starting a “bring back Imbiber of the Year!” campaign. I’ve had floods of people demanding to join.

Team, I have booked this for the 7th February for 14 people. Please can you confirm attendance. Separately, I have started with some provisional nominations which can be viewed here https://forms.gle/UQP1xhNzVB8B84gJA If you think things are missing (and I need suggestions for biggest dissapointment...

Now I just need to get Sousão and Tinto Cão fixed with the proper 'ã'. Shame on you to think JDAW hadn't already dealt and subsequently documented this :D http://www.jdawiseman.com/papers/trivia/character-entities.html Edit: Also more recently, on github https://github.com/jdaw1/placemat/blob/main/...

It's the first time for me seeing for a bottle this young. Perhaps they sold them in bakers dozen to make up for it

Were these marketed differently by any chance?

We compared bottles side-by-side and it certainly seemed smaller but we couldn't confirm this wasnt a glass thickness issue (I'd go with >80% sure it was not a 75cl bottle). Did anyone take the bottle home to check?

One thing of academic interest to note about this bottle was that it appeared to be in pint-sized format.
