Please add a list to the first post, to include TV64, G80 (me), and others.
After which, please may I edit the first post to add placemats?

By all means.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Isn't snowb1965 bringing the TV64?
I eagerly await the notes from this tasting, especially for this bottle.

I'm a possible though work is very off and on at the moment so won't know until the afternoon on the day. If it looks possible, I'll decant something at lunchtime and post here.

I'm keen if numbers still permit. Unsure with regards to which VP I'll bring but I'll let AHB know tomorrow for organisational purposes.

My attendance is becoming less probable. Sorry team.
Willing to make placemats, if there are lists of people and bottles.

The commitment that had kept me in Belfast and only able to travel on the 27th has been cancelled. Too late to change flights though.

There's certainly space for you if you can make it. If you can, let me know and I can bring a Noval 95 you can adopt, since both of us want to try that particular wine.
