Pls choose what bottles are coming, and brought by whom, so that the placemats can be drafted.

Tony, Simon, Dia - please confirm attendance (or otherwise). Would like to now firm up the bottles.

I can comfortably bring up to eight bottles - more than that is hard to lug in one go..

Assuming we have a full complement of attendees, I’m considering expanding the tasting to 18 bottles.
Is this desirable?
Does it work with the placemats?

The '97 Quinta Da Corte is a decent bottle if someone in the group has one.nac wrote: ↑14:17 Wed 04 May 2022Proposed line-up (subject to some final availability confirmations & a full attendance) with one space available.nac wrote: ↑12:57 Mon 07 Jun 2021 The line-up. A work in progress...

Added to second post, current version of the placemats. Missing the eighteenth Port, and the names of several bringers.
Re: 1997 @ 25, Tues 24th May 2022 @ B&F
I'm working on the Sandeman, hopefully will get some news soon.

Sorry… had Missed this post. When it was made I was all good but may now have an issue with attending. Very much hope that won’t be the case as 1997 is a vintage I really like and I think is underrated due because of the 94s. I will be able to confirm on Monday either way.

Regrettably I need to withdraw from this tasting. Hopefully a reserve is primed and ready to go and maybe Tony can provide the SWH so that gap would be filled. I hope it is as good a tasting as I am sure it will be.
Re: 1997 @ 25, Tues 24th May 2022 @ B&F
That's a shame, but thanks for letting me know.
Re: 1997 @ 25, Tues 24th May 2022 @ B&F
As we're now at 12 attendees with nobody on the waiting list, being reduced to 15 bottles. I'll update the list.
A number of people won't be required to supply any bottles. As such, some minor movement of funds will be required.
