OK, my point was to find out whether we had any availability of interesting / minor 66s before we go to 67. What thoughts?

THRA has offered Rebello Valente 66 upthread. I'm not aware of any other possibilities

Within the UK but outside the cellars of those attending, Morgan, Krohn and Delaforce 66 seem to be obtainable, albeit we would not exactly be giving it a chance to shine if subjecting it to courier / postage at this late stage.

Cockburn / Sandeman 67 would be available for adoption if there were an extra person who needed something without resorting to duplication, and i suspect there's a strong chance that Martinez would be too.

For ports with enough age to be at risk, I don’t mind duplication. And if both are fabulous, well, is that so terrible?

Eight mouths and eleven Ports is almost enough for a school night.

I don't like the idea of introducing non-66s unless we do it properly - properly meaning eleven 66s.

Should we buy a team Niepoort 1966 to make it six on each page?

I wouldn’t want you to be needled by the asymmetry. Sure subject to a broader consensus.

In general i'm not a fan of shipping bottles within the last month to six weeks before a tasting, since i think i have found more success from my own bottles when adopting WS1's regime. My vote would therefore be for a confirmed Dow 66 before chasing down EUR200+ bottles of unknown provenance from Europe. However, i am happy to stump up if others want (subject to a minimum of a three-way split of the cost)

BMHR, THRA and JB are all left off the list of people (you can quickly tell this since each bottle on the placemats is shown as being brought by a different person). So, 11 people.

You can quickly tell this if you have an 11 inch MacBook Air and 30 year old eyes :cry:

thirded. or fourthed/however many.

Also, I see no problem with Cr66 x2. In fact the only possible issue I can see with Cr66 x2 is whether we have enough Cr66 :tpf:

Hello. As you can see, I have adopted the Offley '66.

I am bringing a guest, and he would like to know what he can adopt.

So:

1. Does anyone have a another bottle to adopt? If so, for how much and which kind? (Last I checked, I think there was something for roughly 45 Quid.

2. Whoever is keeping count, please enter me in as a "+1"

Thanks.

Someone probably needs to do a tot up and check whether there's enough room for further people before adding more - in particular, i think it needs to be checked whether it is possible to eat dinner in the main room rather than in the private room if this is going to work.

In terms of adoption, i don't know whether jdaw1's +1 has taken the other port you refer to but there might be a Niepoort 1966 available to adopt for EUR250ish - as a combined contribution with the Offley (split between two people), that's probably top end in financial terms but not out of line with what DRT is contributing and probably a good "last minute" option.
