Re: 17th May 2015: Port drinking in New York City
I have three bottles here - one is mine, one is Rachel's that I brought over for her (and is actually hers, not an adoption!) and one was extra. I'm happy for the third one to be Conor's adoption - he being a late addition there was no time to sort anything out with his uncle and sponsor (to the world of port), erstwhile TPF member Justin K.
I never heard back from Jeff about other adoptions and if he can't make it at 5 then maybe he's not providing..? Is anyone meeting up with him?
If anyone wants to bring an extra extra bottle, please do not allow me to dissuade you.

I was wrong. Only yesterday I was thinking that the organisation of this tasting had been a shambles. Pub crawl, Glasgow, etc. But now everybody’s coming, and bringing extra bottles. Perfect organisation!

Is this meant to be a blind tasting? What do you typically use to conceal the contents of your bottles? A plastic bag over it doesn't feel particularly fitting...

djewesbury: 3
differentdave: 2-3
Miguel: 1
SushiNorth: 1-2
Jeff (dropping off): 1-2
attendees: 6.
Everyone's exuberance is great, but I fear we may have more wine than we can carry, let alone drink.
Might I suggest the following:
Djewesbury: You're here for the week still, right? Leave bottle #3 closed, bring it tonight, and if we don't decide to open it tonight you can find an excuse later in the week.
Differentdave: same, bring #3, but leave it closed.
Me: Bring #2 and leave it closed
g-man: We may be able to spare you a drop-off trip, given the amount of port showing up. You're still welcome to stop by queens
Some logistics: We're tasting blind, so folks may want to decant into an unmarked bottle, or put some tinfoil or paper over the label if not. If you aren't bringing the original bottle, please take a snapshot of it so we can include it's photo in the night's lineup.
We'll have LOTS of glasses tonight, as dd & I are both bringing 36. Miguel, don't worry yourself about bringing the 12.
T Stoppers or other closures: Please bring as many as you are bringing bottles -- we're going to have a lot of leftovers.

Jeff, that's a real shame, but I totally understand. Another time! Thanks for your contribution, which is very good of you in the circumstances.
