WineSoc crusted done.

Crusted Port, bottled 2013 The Society's Exhibition Range wines are classic examples of the world’s best regions and styles.

The question was not asked: why would it be. Until, at the end, somebody noticed that “One of these things is not like the others.”

This line up calls to mind the old Sesame Street vignette..."One of these things is not like the others.". Sure. An emergency was declared, and people requested something. Then the emergency acquired a theme, so do I bring the previously requested, or theme-compatible? Standard rule in th...

Yes.

Sure. Presumably GC77 magnum, as all the singles are corked. Or will you, as for Alex’s Dow, pop-and-pour?

But I didn’t understand the reprimand. My proposal would have put Neil in a stronger position, not a weaker one.

I, and others, have Taylor 1955.

Pictures of the draft of the placemats have been added to the first post.

“It’s an emergency! Grab the nearest magnum of Taylor 1896, and make all haste to the Boot & Flogger.”

How would this not be an emergency?

Indeed, I note the tasting “Tue 2nd Jan 2018, Bring a Bottle (ideally of 1878)”, reviewed in “Tue 02 Jan 2018, B&F, A Non-Ideal Tasting”.

Martin WhatsApp’d, offering Smith, which has already been accepted. Though I am happy to go with a consensus preference.

Err, sure. Am I failing to see something obvious?

The placemats have been updated.

Looking at the list of 77s for Monday and note that we don't have Graham. Any thoughts on me bringing it instead of Sandeman? Since it has become a ’77 evening, why don’t I adopt the Graham, and ideally another 1977 (anybody?), and save the F85+F85+crusted for another time. So pls may I adopt the G...

The rules could be made more fun. People may opt to “hold firm”. To bump from the list somebody who has so opted, it must for a bottle ≥10 years older than the current youngest missing vintage. If a bottle not that old were offered, it would be the next in line who is compared to that newly offered ...

I don’t have a bottle, and there are reserves who do. So I think the fair thing is to relinquish my seat. Phil: you’re on.

Proper rare, that. Also see TH06, re Broadbent.

Cellar records suggest it was acquired in April 2021 so, perhaps, 2020?

Please check that the placemats are satisfactory.

First post updated.

Current draft of the placemats updated. (For which, @Alex, what is the bottling date of the Pink?)

Green Room booked (so limiting to eight people).

winesecretary wrote: ↑20:30 Sun 06 Apr 2025Oddly, my two other options for this tasting, having brought them up from Rutland this afternoon, were Fonseca 1985 and Wine Society Crusted bottled 2013…

Would you prefer that the Wine Society bottle be replaced with a Quevedo crusted bottled 2016?

I will bring a 1985 Fonseca, and a Wine Society crusted (bot. 2013).

Or I could bring two F85s, with 24-hour decant and pop-and-pour. Team preference?
