rich_n wrote: 22:04 Thu 07 Nov 2024Julian, I plan to bring something that is not port but I hope to be at least interesting if not very enjoyable for the group, but I'm unclear if it needs a circle or can just be enjoyed aside from the main event.
You are confusing me with the organiser. Ask him.

Yes please.

It’s good to have back on form. And we’ll definitely help deplete your stock of interesting bottles.

Re: Wed 23 Oct 2024, Blind Emergency for Rob Coombes

I haven't had a glass of port in at least 48 hours so may I join in ? Yes. FYI, by WhatsApp: You pick a decade, and I'll pick a bottle from the same or an adjacent decade. 1961-70 inclusive covers all the options I had in mind. If you are low on stock for that decade, don’t feel any pressure though...

So far we are only two people, on a school night for me. Unless there is a significant risk of a bottle being bad, two + a couple ≫ sensible.

Re: Pintas Vertical

Second post believed updated. Observe words
This list of attendees is made without bound, because it is not yet known where the cut will be. It might at as few as eight people, or perhaps at the usual limit of fourteen. And the list might be rearranged to favour those with relevant contributions.

Re: Port brand abbreviations

Carlos Alonso Douro Wines Lda have vineyards around Alijó. While mainly a winemaker, they have also been making Vintage Port for the last decade or so and have declared several vintages in those years. Their Vintage Ports are bottled, shipped and sold under the Piano brand. Which really only leaves...
