Evening prior, North Korean style, now has 100% of the votes.
But if the consensus is different, I'll still go with it.

Reading on tapatalk - can't see the poll.
I agree that if having a lesser tasting and a greater tasting, the lesser should come first.

Re: 1970 Horizontal - Tier 3 ports
I'm going to abstain from voting as I'll have to decide where I stay once I know the location of the tasting. I would be interested in taking part in all parts of this but don't want to sway the vote if I later find out I can only make it for the main part of the tasting in the end.
Re: 1970 Horizontal - Tier 3 ports
Have voted for morning - but marginal as I would need overnight hotels anyway
Re: 1970 Horizontal - Tier 3 ports
Yes, evening for me too please sir!!
Re: 1970 Horizontal - Tier 3 ports
I have voted evening. Not entirely sure I would give the tiers 1 and 2 Ports a fair chance if I had already tasted tier 3 in the morning, but prepared to give it my best shot should that prove consensus.
Re: 1970 Horizontal - Tier 3 ports
Evening preferred, but I will be available where ever and when ever! I have voted

n.b. Still haven't voted as on Tapa; my pref would be <previous week> for lesser tasting, if that were one of the options.PhilW wrote:Reading on tapatalk - can't see the poll.

Re: 1970 Horizontal - Tier 3 ports
Previous day, previous week: either would have been excellent for me.
Re: 1970 Horizontal - Tier 3 ports
I think we’re tending towards evening before for the Tier 3s.
We now need any of the other 24 people who expressed interest in the horizontal and do want to taste Tier 3 to vote in order to establish how many for Tier 3.

Re: 1970 Horizontal - Tier 3 ports
Perhaps better to focus on the main event first and re-visit this once the date and venue are decided? That will make it easier for people to decide if they can or cannot do Tier 3.

Re: 1970 Horizontal - Tier 3 ports
Was hoping this would crystallise that Tier 3 would be for a smaller group, and should it be same day or not. Looks like it might be a smaller group and a different day.
So full steam ahead on picking a date for Tiers 1 & 2

I would like to taste the Tier 3 ports, and the evening prior to the tasting would suit me.

Re: 1970 Horizontal - Tier 3 ports
I've voted to taste the previous evening, but tasting on the morning would be acceptable to me although I think would make the logistics and glasses very challenging.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Re: 1970 Horizontal - Tier 3 ports
I voted on the morning option but forgot to post. Would be dependant on the date.
