What decisions have I to make?
Deadline for reconfirmations has passed. Who moves to and from the waitlist?

OK. One step at a time:

Since my last update on 9th November 2018 I can only see one reconfirmation from Ben Read.

JDAW, please confirm I have not missed anyone.

Assuming Ben is the only additional reconfirmation then CaliforniaBrad, RAYC, TLW and PEM are dropped from the attendees list and will be added to the bottom of the reserve list in that order. The reserve list will be updated first to include those who have asked to be added since 9th November.

Being a younger Port lover, I should probably get myself added to the reserves.

Dude!

stop being so pessimistic! In 2051 I would be 81 and I admit given my current weight and lifestyle It is looks unlikely I would make it. But I still signed up!
Not sure if you watched a series called "All creatures great and small" so far but when Siegfried and James signed up for WII they drank really good old Bourdeaux from 1928. Siegfried drank on the night before joining up the RAF in 1939 Margaux 1928 and James drank with his wife Helen if I recall correctly Haut Brion 1928. So after signing up what will you drink tonight?

BTW any plans coming over the pond my dear?

regards

Reconfirming too in case it is required, but I am not sure we completed confirmations from the last round yet. Anyway, in more ways than one I would be thrilled to attend.

Can I also add my son Zac (ZCD) to the reserve list please. Hopefully he will be wheeling me there and back so it would be nice for him to enjoy some of the juice too.

I say not. Derek’s call, but I say not.

If yes, all three of mine get added — this being the official bagsy — and soon after all of everybody else’s. I say no: Port enthusiasts can sign on themselves.

I might not be available, as I'll be getting my 102nd covid booster shot around this time.

That made me laugh.

I'll reconfirm too, even though I will be 87 on the day. I see no reason to be anything other than optimistic...

I hereby appoint Julian D. A. Wiseman as Vice President of Administration of this tasting.

Julian, the organisation of this tasting is a mess, can you please sort it out? Hurry along man, there is no time to lose!

Just gone from a Fonseca LBV to a Taylor's; is that not a demotion?
