Warres 1995 LBV. A simultaneous tasting?
12th July is some sort of meaningful day in Scotland. It is either the opening of the Grouse shooting season or the day when men with orange sashes walk through the streets of lanarkshire towns beating drums and blowing flutes in celebration of the life and times of a Dutchman named Billy
Either way, next Thursday is fine with me

I can't commit to the early start as some of us have to work for a living - will probably pop mine the night before or early morning and stick straight in the fridge.
If we want to expand the group why don't we do it in 2 or 3 weeks time after I have given Lord & Lady Roots a bottle to take home for themselves and Stevie

PS: The last paragraph of the above post is sincere. Hwever, it would also allow me to avoid disappointing either Corky or my gorgeous and understanding partner, Jo, whom I have just promised to take out for a meal on Thursday night because I have been away so much with work recently

No problem, Ronnie - at £5 each I think I can spare one of the 2 dozen I have left

Edit: On re-reading the above I realised that this may be interpreted as a request for £5 in exchange for the bottle. It isn't. The bottle will be a small gift for you and Lady Roots from the UK contingent

I have had the dirty (rolling around in the boot that hasn't been cleaned since four trees were transported when we moved) bottle standing on death row for over a week now. I know it won't lose anything in that time but I feel sorry for it.
As the Rootses will be taking home their rations for themselves and Stevie at the end of this week, shall we make a it definite for Thursday next week (26/7)?

Port is basically a red drink

I'm off on my travels again and didn't bring my bottle with me so won't be able to take part in the tasting.
However, please don't wait for me to be able to take part as this is likely to be sometime after the middle of September! My diary is truly horrible for the next 6 weeks.

There's still no rush.
Ronnie wouldn't be able to post regularly during the evening, which is the whole point.
Todds still looking and AHB is out of circulation for a few weeks.
I've been ready every week, but I'd rather have 6 of us and wait, than 3 of us and do it this week. Its just a good idea and hopefully fun. It'll keep.

W’s LBV ’95
I have found on the internet W’s LBV ’95: so, if it is before the 1st of August (after which I’m away), and ideally not on a Thursday, I could join, as might a booze-tastic friend in NYC.
Of course, my|our posts will be some hours behind those resident in the old world.
