yes please

Is there space for one more?

Alas Boris says I should not attend..... One of the children in George's class has been taken ill - so I won't risk it. Sorry - I cannot get the Fonseca or Warre to B&F in time. To put a little flesh on the bone - there is a confirmed case and also a suspected case in my children’s social circl...

If anyone is out of pocket for the deposit let me know.

Unless Boris decrees otherwise, I am still planning on attending.

Port legends - Iconic ports of the 20th C (or even 19th). E.g. Ck12, Cr45, T48, N31, F66, F27 etc. Small gathering... perhaps 8 max??

I will bring two halves of Warre adopted by Julian

As Infantado is not of the highest repute, I should adopt as well. What is available? We are missing Warre from the line-up. Perhaps you could adopt that from Tony? Sorry - I no longer have the Warre. Would two half bottles W suffice? Let me know what you want - I have Ni, RP, V, C, S, Burmester(ha...

Thanks for checking - I'm trying to avoid the Colheitas - which these shippers are more famous for. Otherwise it would be easy.

I have
Kopke 27 (?), 48, 60, 70 (st Luiz), 80, 83, 87 (st Luiz), 89, 92 (st Luiz), 94 (possibly)
Krohn 61, 65, 67, 70

I would like to organise a Kopke/Krohn Vintage Port mini-vertical in July. A small delegation from the Port Forum went to St Luiz last year where we had a splendid tour of the estate and a 3 hour "lunch" and tasting. A, year on, I thought it would be fitting to have a Kopke tasting. The Kr...

Yes - please delete the duplicate.

I have

Barros
Burmester
Croft Roeda
Kopke
Warre
Dow
Taylor
Fonseca
Niepoort
SW
GC

Let me know what you need (soonish) and I will put them aside.

Yes please - need to be quick these days

Yes please

Berrys own selection - 1970 and a few others.

Moving on to assembling the cast. Tier 1 should be easy... From Tier 2 I have: - Burmester (Library release) - BBR Own Selection (same case 2 bottles) - Delaforce (same case 2 bottles) - Roeda (Magnum) - Gonzalez Byas (same case) - Messias Cachao (same case) - I am pretty sure Messias only produced ...

This is going to be a challenge to put this together - the saving grace is that it will only need to be one bottle.

At the moment from Tier 3 - I have Royal Oporto, Dalva, Santos Junior and Borges. I'll put them aside as I suspect they will be adopted. I'll keep an eye out for any others.

Works for me

Yes please Given you're first on the reserve list, I'd suggest there's a fairly high probability you'll get bumped up. As such, probably worth letting me know potential wine availability... A quick look shows as 20, 22*, 27*, 34, 45, 46*, 47, 48, 63, 66, 70, (70 Private cellar), 77 etc. * Only one ...

Yes please

25th would work for me

Having missed the last one, it would be nice to meet up. Count me in.

Mike - well done on driving this forward.
You approach seems pragmatic. It would be nice to run this for as many as possible.
