Another virtual tasting
Re: Another virtual tasting
I have figured out a way to participate with video! Now you'll have to see my scruffy coronabeard.

Re: Another virtual tasting
Should there be space - or rather, the necessary bandwidth - I would be delighted to join. I have not yet had the chance to meet any of you - to my great regret - though I did have a lovely chat with Oscar Quevedo at his property, last summer.
Re: Another virtual tasting
Is there space for one more?
Re: Another virtual tasting
Current draft of the paperwork has been updated.
Added. I’ve guessed your initials to be WTW: if wrong, please correct.
For you, of course. Added.
Re: Another virtual tasting
Thanks so very much J. My initials are WHW, though I'll change my middle name to Taylor as the price of admission. I shall stand by for, in due course, joining instructions by PM.
Re: Another virtual tasting
"Will" or "Bill," in accordance with others' preferences; most call me Bill. "William" conjures visions in my mind of short pants and propeller beanies.
Re: Another virtual tasting
Is there room for one more?

Does anybody else need two rows on the guessing page? Rephrased, who else is bringing two?
Re: Another virtual tasting
At 1800 tomorrow (& finishing at approx 1845), 67 Pall Mall are holding a free-for-all virtual tasting with Jasper Morris MW. The theme is Red Burgundy 09 vs 10.
Further detail here:

I'm intending to partake as an aperitif to our tasting, and Mrs NAC and I have our Dujac Chambolle-Musigny 09 & 10 ready to go.
Anyone else fancy it?
If so, ignore the 20 max on the invite. There's now no limit.

Re: Another virtual tasting
Pls cld somebody with a working home printer print and be the returning officer. (But print late afternoon, in case there are more changes.)

Re: Another virtual tasting
I have a printer - although I would require careful supervision, having never met any of the participants and being unsure, at this point, of the object of the exercise beyond convivial drinking. At any rate, I shall stand by to be pressed into service.
Re: Another virtual tasting
Can I check what time we are starting today? Mike's invite suggests 18:00. I will struggle with that.
Re: Another virtual tasting
Convivial drinking very very important. Subsidiary objective can be seen in the likes of this post (names of wines in left column; names of guessers in top row; returning officer enters guesses one guesser at a time; when all guessed bottles revealed; point for correct year + point for correct shipper; totalling confirms that most of us are rubbish guessers).

Re: RE: Re: Another virtual tasting
Mike's zoom invite is for 19:00, so I was assuming then. Seems likely people may come & go?
Re: Another virtual tasting
Got it. If there is nobody better qualified (which would be anyone else), I shall give it a go. Could you (J) email me the forms and, if possible, send me a link to the port shipper abbreviations, which I know to be somewhere on this website? Also, at what time do we start? I was thinking 1930hrs though would appear to have screwed up already my first tasking (i.e., arriving on time).jdaw1 wrote: ↑16:47 Tue 07 Apr 2020Convivial drinking very very important.

Re: RE: Re: Another virtual tasting
I must confess I didn’t check but assumed (wrongly) that it was the same as last time. I will be there for 1900 after seeing if I can learn some of Jasper Morris’ wisdom, taking advantage of the info that Neil posted.
