Re: Ramos-Pinto: a vertical
Depending on the dates, I'd be interested in possibly flying over the pond for this tasting. I can't say that I've had the opportunity to taste Ramos-Pinto in a vertical format. Sounds very interesting! As far as bottles go I have the 1945, 1970, 1983 (750 & mag), 1985, 1994 and 1995. In addition I also have one of their white Colheitas that I could also throw into the mix.

The '24 is a small-ish bottle..

Tom, can we also include the other LBV 27 for this?

Re: Ramos-Pinto: a vertical
Sure, just had this last week with Joao Nicolau. But before these bottles were offered to me I have never seen those.

I'm always looking to expand my very small stock of birth-year VP. Do you know if these are available for sale, or if they're going to be available soon?

• Booked for Tuesday 21st October 2014: the Function room in The Bung Hole (57 High Holborn, London WC1V 6DT, tel +44 20 7831 8365, streetmap.co.uk, maps.google.co.uk). “Tables in and out and 250 glasses”, said the lovely Helen. An updated glass-count estimate will be transmitted a week before the event.
• I will be contacting people soon(ish) to get prices for their bottles, and then allocate who is bringing what.
• A draft of the placemats has been made, and images added to the first post.

Searching for R-P: in the UK Wine-Searcher.com has only ≥2000s, other than the (fully priced) VintageWineGifts.co.uk.

Is there room for me please?
Re: Ramos-Pinto: a vertical
FYI, Ramos Pinto have asked whether João Nicolau de Almeida should start with a formal presentation, including slides. I have asked not, preferring that the dithyramb come in the middle of the event, after JNdA has tasted the Ports himself, and is much less formal. Presumably he will speak alone.
Re: Ramos-Pinto: a vertical
Gentlemen unfortunately I am going to have duck out of this as I am now required to be on holiday that week and port tastings are no excuse!

Re: Ramos-Pinto: a vertical
Mutatis mutandis, the same applies to you lot.In an email to Ramos-Pinto ensubjected “Ramos Pinto vertical, Tue 21st Oct 2014: food?”, jdaw1 wrote:Hello again.
The tasting will be in our regular place, The Bung Hole. It helps TBH to know our food order in advance.
We tend to eat the varieties of steak and chips, but you might want different. It would help to be forewarned of the food order, about a week in advance. So as and when João and Ana are willing to look at the menu, please could I be told what they’ll be having.
I’ll resend this email, as a reminder, about a week before the tasting.
Also, attendees have PMs on the tawdry subject of money.

Re: Ramos-Pinto: a vertical
Do you mind me saying that the switch from four digits to two in the Glasses Title looks unwieldy? They are all years beginning 19. Either use four digits in all or two. I understand the logic but I think the introductory 19 is unnecessary in the first circle; the Circlearray contains the full numerical year.

Separately to my not being huffy-puffy offended, your logic is sensible. Unless there better dissents, I shall defer to djewesbury’s post.
