Also a yes please!

Updating my Teams app now.

The link doesn’t work for me.

Please could I have four packs [of six bottles], Alex - thanks for posting the offer.

Ditto, I’m afraid.

That back label is excellent. I’ve not seen any bottle labels similar to it on any of the other SFE offerings - wonder if they will roll it out more widely? (e.g. on Quinta do Bomfim/da Senhora da Ribeira/da Cavadinha etc.)

Yes, please - I can offer Cr, GC and W.

Yes please!

Nice!

Aye - not a bad replacement for 6 bots of BBR77...

Ditto re not having met you before, Rob, but if there’s space please may I join?

3 mags of D77.

Current draft of the placemats (needing assignment of who is bringing what — to happen later). I propose the following initial assignments for those who have indicated what they've got: MC (Cr) JMK (SV) RON (G, in halves) MPM (W) CPR (N) NAC (T) MSC (F) GEAG (Ni) JDAW (D) This leaves the following ...

At €130 (bought from Kopke itself) I think it was a good buy. Can't wait to open it.

It really is an outstanding wine (and I note you’ve obtained at an outstanding price, too!)

Thanks, all. As a majority have now indicated 18 March 2025 is acceptable, I’ll contact the B&F to get this booked in. Once done, I’ll update the first post with the reference.

We’re doing very well for attendees and bottles. Now to the matter of a date.

I propose Tuesday 18 March 2025.

How does that sound, folks?

Please could the emboldened text be removed the the first post:

The following were planned pre-2023 but have not been rescheduled (organisers noted):
Ports not on tasting notes index [GEAG]
1970 horizontal [MPM] - possibly 2030?
50 Year Old Tawnies (and potential friends) [MC]

Wouldn’t hurt to do a 2003 horizontal now that it has reached 21 years of age. Indeed, though I've only just taken my first 94 case from storage, so if others are in a similar position I suspect we might not have convenient access to many yet. Good point! Maybe we pencil something in for 2025 and g...

When: Tuesday 18 March 2025 Where: Boot and Flogger (DMN-16879586256) Bottles: Cockburn (JDAW) Croft (MC, NAC) Dow (JDAW) Fonseca (NAC, MSC, MPM, HTWH) Graham (RON, in halves) Niepoort (GEAG) Niepoort Secundum (JDAW) Noval (CPR) Portal (CPR, JDAW in storage) Portal+ (JDAW in storage) Roriz (JDAW) Sa...

Very surprised by the Sandeman!

Sorry folks, travelling at the moment so full details to follow next week. Meantime, WOTN below:

Placemats updated: −NAC; −Taylor.

Thank you, Julian.
The placemats have been printed. I aim to be at the B&F tomorrow at around 1630/1700 to get things set up.
Very much looking forward to this one!

Apologies but I'm going to have to withdraw from this tasting.

Work issues make being in London that day difficult.

Neil

I have informed the Boot and Flogger.

M.Charlton wrote: ↑21:18 Wed 18 Sep 2024 Good stuff, folks.
Please send me any specific food orders by 22 September. I'll send the order to the B&F on 23 September, so absent any specific requests you will receive your default order (or, order on the night if you do not have a default order).
Cheers.

Food order sent.

You’re correct, Neil - the above is purely for the “bulk order” purposes. Incidentally, the wines ordered from Portugal have arrived
