Being a 1993 vintage and given how highly we all speak of this year

yes, I'm game for this. would you be happy for non-port options, like a Red Burgundy?

I also, i think that i have a South African fortified from 1993

I have Carcavelos from 1993.

But alas, I'll be unable to attend.

Wonderful. Non-port is accepted. Non-fortified is even accepted.

If you want to throw the theme wide open, I have two 10yr tawnies that were bottled in 1993

I'm in, with a D'Oliveiras 1993 Bual, bottled 2016.

Does 30YO count??

Why not!

Indeed!

So long as you can say there's some 93 in it (or provide a entertaining enough lie) yes.

I'm planning on bring

1993, Remi Rollin, Pernand Vergelesses, Magnum
1993, Louis Jadot, Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots, Magnum

there is a little risk with Red Burgundy of this age but hopefully they will be fun as they are in Mag.

First time i will have tried 93 Burgundy - thank you.

The B&F is now confirmed for this day.

Zac - would be fun. I have a 1993 Montilla Moriles

May I join in please??

Not sure what I'll bring but I'll find something

Hi Guys I would love to attend if a place appears? I will have a hunt for a bottle(s)

Happy to have you join.

My only 1993 is German - Querbach, Oestricher Lenchen Riesling Spatlese Halbtrocken - so will bring that. Don't have high hopes.

I did have a magnum of 1993 Bordeaux (Grand Listrac) but previously donated it to Zak...

Still available - consider that your bottle.

Excellent! Will still bring the German though - probably well past drinking date...

I'm very sadly going to have to drop out of this dinner! really gutted but can't move something.

No worries. See you soon at another event no doubt.

Date is fast approaching so please declare what you are bringing if you haven't already.

Calem 30YO from me, Zak.

I know this is going to sound like a lame excuse but I now have an oak frame barn (!!) being delivered on the 9th and 10th so I'm going to have to pull out of this one ... have a fun evening in the mean time.

No worries.

Folks remaining, food orders please and what you are bringing if you haven't declared already.
