I have waited until now in the vain hope that circumstances might change. However, that is now not going to happen and therefore, childcare responsibilities driven by family matters means that I will have to very reluctantly withdraw from this tasting. Apologies to all.

Pray tell, what is C if neither Ck nor Cr?

might it be ....

Taylors, Grahams, Dow, Cockburn, Constantino & Croft

idj123 - is this correct ?

Sorry, should have checked the agreed abbreviation but for C read Ca (or Calem to be totally clear).

I believe that I have one or two bottles of the following: T, G,D, Ck, C and Cr.

We need to invite him to a tasting!

Yes please, I will see what I have.

It’s recently dawned on me that rather annoyingly, 25 May doesn’t actually work for me (in spite of initially stating to the contrary) as I will be in Lisbon that evening! Therefore, I will have to ruefully drop out.

Reserve list please.

…and unfortunately, family illness means I have to drop out in any case, sorry , but happy to revisit the theme at a later date.

I forgot, I also have RV.

Indeed!

Yes please, currently have 55, 63, 70, 77, 80, 83,,85,94 & 97.

Of those not already covered I can offer Ck, Df and Ca, although only the first of these is readily accessible. If you want to take a chance, I also have Ni in mag.

And yes, all the suspects appear to have been accounted for and so nothing additional I can offer.

Not sure where the seven came from but yes please!

Of those that I don’t believe have been currently offered, I can supply D, Df and Averys.

Yes from me.

Count me in please.

Yes please sir!

A request for clarification - is the Port not to be TFP / SFE at the time of making or at the time of drinking?

At the time of making.

For the benefit of one of us whose last day of being able to do what he wants when he wants! Theme: VP from 1985 or earlier that is neither SFE or TFP at that time. Location: the B & F at the usual time. Who’s thirsty?

Eta 6.30pm

I would be tempted to leave out the SQVPs so as to enable us to include all of the full vintage ports. But, if we do include do Roeda, my spreadsheet alleges I have 1980 Roeda (and I know I have a half of 2005 Roeda). Maybe a separate Roeda tasting idc? I would agree with George and omit the CrR an...

I have the 45, 55, 60, 63, 66, 70 & 77.

Ydw!
