Post by g-man »

Date changed:

So turns out may is pretty busy for me =)

I'm thinking a mini vert tasting of my favorite house. Fonseca.

and we can do the same Fonseca v s Warres tasting as the uk guys

i ahve the warres 70, 74, 75?, 77 and most of the 80s

fonseca i have 66, 70, 75, 77, 78

or shall we emulate the vintages of the uk guys?

june 1st is mine (think back to bbq last year) and if not mistaken you saved me from opening a fonseca 77 late in the evening, therefore I would like to bring this bottle for us to drink LOL.Hopefully venue and timing work out.

Hmm... let me check airline schedules/fares... it'd have to be a very short trip, but that might be doable. I'd probably have to fly in on Saturday and leave on Sunday.

Big G;

Happy B-Day!

I'm a possibility--not a good one for both dates. I do have a 1985 Fonseca I would bring if coming.
