Re: Tuesday 15th May 2018, for the Royal Wedding
We have a quorum, and spare. Is anybody yet willing to reveal?

Given the Groom's reputation as a bit of a lad (reformed now I am sure), I wonder if he is familiar with Cockburn.

I've got some Pink Port. Pink is a popular colour with women. I'm sure that Pink would be fit for the new duchess.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Does anyone have a bottle of Cockburn Pink LBV?

Apparently a Duchess cannot be expected to drink "quite lovely strawberry-flavoured port" that "Could easily be a mature VP."
Snobbery over strawberry seems to be the order of the day. Hey ho.

I am a bit of a monarchist! Would love to come along. No idea what will accompany me at this stage!

Currently, this tasting is full.
Seats have been reserved for two guests: it is entirely plausible that requirement will be one or none. So there will be a reserve list.

Am my eyes receiving me or has my confirmed attendance once again be overlooked- should I reading something into this apparent pattern? Can this oversight be corrected please?
Re: Tuesday 15th May 2018, for the Royal Wedding
Derek, Ben, and now Ian: I’ve been failing to cope with this. Sorry. Fixed.
We are now over-full. First withdrawl doesn’t create a space.
Re: Tuesday 15th May 2018, for the Royal Wedding
Understood. Consider me reprimanded. I will try my best to deliver on theme. In any case, Pink Cockburn isn't listed on their website, surely it can't be that they don't make it?
Re: Tuesday 15th May 2018, for the Royal Wedding
Time to start revealing. I plan to bring a Fonseca 1960. Pray, gentleman, what will you bring?

Agghh. A giant blunder, not putting this in my diary and now I have committed to something else. Grrrr.

I will bring a Noval 60
Re: Tuesday 15th May 2018, for the Royal Wedding
Just three of us have revealed. Please, more.
But four young Oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed,
Their shoes were clean and neat —
And this was odd, because, you know,
They hadn’t any feet.
Four other Oysters followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and fast they came at last,
And more and more and more —
All hopping through the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore.

Re: Tuesday 15th May 2018, for the Royal Wedding
Then why don't I bring a Sandeman 1960?
