Tastings (Physical & Virtual) - Planner

Re: Tastings (Physical & Virtual) - Planner
Recently perusing cellar and spotted a couple of bottles of QH78LBV. So, wondered if a tasting of LBVs with some decent bottle age might be a good theme? If so, happy to organise - unless someone else fancies doing this?

Re: Tastings (Physical & Virtual) - Planner
Good theme, definitely interested. Pity I opened my only Vieira se Souza 1981 LBV last week.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Re: Tastings (Physical & Virtual) - Planner
The planner has been updated with known future events and given a general tidy.
Re: Tastings (Physical & Virtual) - Planner
The planner has just been given a tidy/update.
Re: Tastings (Physical & Virtual) - Planner
Just updated the planner.
JDAW's postponed "A Disagreement or Controversy or Misunderstanding" is still listed as Feb 2023. Assume this won't be?
After the PC etc tasting tonight, the only other confirmed in-person tastings in 2023 are the Decanting Experiment on 28/2 and Cavadinha on 28/3.

Re: Tastings (Physical & Virtual) - Planner
Planner has been updated to include all the events I'm aware of (I think). Please shout if I've missed anything.
JDAW's Cavadinha Vertical up next on Tuesday 28th March.

Re: Tastings (Physical & Virtual) - Planner
Such a great night on Monday! Thank you everyone! Can't wait until my next one!
Re: Tastings (Physical & Virtual) - Planner
Planner has been updated to reflect recent splurge of activity.
Re: Tastings (Physical & Virtual) - Planner
Next one is the thursday the 25th of May is I am not mistaken. Count me if so! ?
Re: Tastings (Physical & Virtual) - Planner
Planner has just been updated. Please let me know if I've missed anything (which is quite likely).
Re: Tastings (Physical & Virtual) - Planner
Have just updated and tidied the events planner.
Anything missing?
There are a few 2023 TBC events that I'm assuming won't happen. Unless anybody objects I'll push these into 2024.

Re: Tastings (Physical & Virtual) - Planner
I would be up for organising a 2003 tasting in say early November 2024.

That’s a topic I’d be interested in, especially if it was a 2000 vs 2003 comparative.winesecretary wrote: ↑22:07 Mon 06 Nov 2023 I would be up for organising a 2003 tasting in say early November 2024.
However, my diary is a bit challenging over the next couple of months, until we reach the week between Christmas and New Year.

Re: Tastings (Physical & Virtual) - Planner
I've taken on looking after the 14th May event from Julian ....
Re: Tastings (Physical & Virtual) - Planner
A question raised elsewhere, that probably needs asking here...
Should we be thinking about a 1945 @ 80 tasting next year?
Do we have sufficient bottles?
Would it be prohibitively expensive?
Full event for 14 or smaller event?
If we want to do this then I'm happy to organise.

We have done ‘85 recently. I am not available on the night of the ‘75 tasting.
