I want to keep Gonzalez M, but no objection to dropping Df and Mg.

Re: 1985 horizontal: Wed 25th Nov 2015, B&F
Ok, here are my two cents: As the 85s are not too expensive and do have a certain amount of risk of corc and (heavy) VA, why dont we keep all in the tasting and replace the faulty bottles after opening with the reserves (Reserves are the producers who are in discussion to be dropped).
Therefore I would suggest not to drop any yet, but to keep them all in and open them in the preferred list.

Latest status.
We are 3 weeks away, I thought I'd try and summarise the current plan:
- 10 attendees
- 19 bottles coming
- 15 being opened initially
- 4 being retained as backups for faulty bottles
- DRT can't make it, so I'm providing Fonseca, I have volunteered WPS to bring Taylor
- I think we still need to work out how BMHR's bottle gets to the B&F
- feel free to recruit more attendees
Does this seem correct?

I assume I can leave a suitably labelled bottle at B&F for you at some stage in next 2 weeks?

Thank you. Yes please.benread wrote:I assume I can leave a suitably labelled bottle at B&F for you at some stage in next 2 weeks?
Re: 1985 horizontal: Wed 25th Nov 2015, B&F
Axel has sent RP = Ramos Pinto; A = Andresen; N = Noval. Ben is delivering MG = Gonzalez M. To these four we are committed.
I have in Streatham magnums of T = Taylor and F = Fonseca; Mike is bringing F = Fonseca single; Wolfgang is bringing T = Taylor single. That takes the total to ten bottles volume.
People: please choose another five bottles. Not ten, not fifteen, just five. Favourite choices from amongst that will be selected.

Re the Port I would like to include Smith Woodhouse, Gould Campbell, Offley and Sandeman if possible. It would also seem a shame not to have Graham, Warre and Dow attend, perhaps drop the single T and F?

• What if there were a consensus in favour of some other bottles (note that Sandeman and Offley have been suggested by Charles). Would you then want as many Symingtons as possible, or would that break the completeness and your preference would then substantially change?

Re: 1985 horizontal: Wed 25th Nov 2015, B&F
My sequence would be:
Grahams (cant do the tasting without as this is my all-time-No.2 85)
Warre
Dow
SWC
QH
GC
Please do definitely include as many of those as possible.
Thanks

We are substantially over-provisioned. Substantially. We actually clear a bottle each on a school night. For ten people we are bringing 15 (Axel wants 16), a fair fraction from good names.flash_uk wrote:So we're not adopting Acel's idea of bring whatever and open more if we find faulty bottles?

I'd prefer we didn't open magnums - opening T and F mags uses up 4 bottles of slots where we could try other shippers. So far there seems to be consensus on RP, A, N, MG, T, F, G, D, W (which is 9 bottles). Charles's suggestion of SW, GC, O, S also seem good to me, that's 13. I'd be happy with that lot and there are room for a couple more (assuming no mags).CPR 1 wrote:Re the Port I would like to include Smith Woodhouse, Gould Campbell, Offley and Sandeman if possible.
