OK, can folks vote for dates above which work, and post a message saying which dates you gave a vote to.

Hi,

I cannot do the 5th of November due to me being planned to be in Porto finally for the first time. The other date this year being the 15th of October I find to early and there is also the calamity for me on the day after the tasting on the 15th I may driving to Burgundy which would not really work. :roll:
But please go ahead in any case. I had a few 85s already.

regards

I have indicated all although it would be nice if it could be shoehorned into this calendar year.

I should have added, if none of these dates are any good, please do say. I've just plucked some to get going in the hope we strike lucky with a date that fits for many of us.

I am in London from 22 to 27 Oct, in rehearsals for and performance of a new opera, for which I am providing video projections. Could dates between 23 and 25 Oct be considered?

Tom won’t be available for 05 Nov.

Separately, to help others, all those days are Thursdays.

Not ideal for long-distance commuters but much better than weekends.

I've just voted to say that I can make any of those dates, but a structured tasting in January is always a nice thing to look forward to so late Jan would be my personal preference.

Fridays and weekends are very difficult for me but 22 or 26 would work - even if not for the 1985 horizontal but just to say hello to Daniel with a blind bottle tasting.

Thursdays are generally OK for me, but weekends not.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Oct date not for me due to birthdays.
Nov 5 possible but unlikely.
Jan dates both possible.
