We can apply for a licence to close the road and have a street party for the younger wines. We can call it the Sandeman Jubilee Event.

NigelM

Julian, do you have another room for the 43 onwards people?

NigelM

I think my great great Grandmother, Gladys Sandeman, has a bottle of 1878 tucked away in the shed. Might not be true

NigelM

Or you may end up with someone being 'offed' the week or even the day before the event Mere minutes before: doorbell rings with a Sandeman 1851, Sandeman 1815, and Sandeman 1797; Mr Youngest-Vintage is evicted after being allowed to see the recently arrived bottles; Mr Second-Youngest-Vintage, feel...

NigelM

Alex, exciting as this is, would it be a good idea to set a final date after which no further changes to the attendees list can be made?

:D :D :D :) :) I was contemplating buying a 1920 to get on the list, but that wouldn't seem right, so I am going to bow out gracefully and stay at home and wash my hair. All I can say is that if I had a choice of spending money buying 1920 Port or shampoo, I know which I would be buying...

I’ve just realised I’m in danger of being knocked out! Right, so there’s two new rules being implemented as of now. If you get knocked out, there is nothing to stop you from coming back with an older bottle which gets you back around the table. But if you do, you have to bring not just your “winnin...

Not true ......

Sorry, Civil war

NigelM

Yes please if possible. Modestly, I only have 70 or I can adopt from Martin as he has every vintage back to the Battle of Hastings.

NigelM

n.b. Perhaps the title should be updated to "Wine Society 1970 bottling tasting" (or '70); without the apostrophe, while my own fault, I initially misread as "Wine Society 70-bottle tasting" and was thinking you were aiming for a huge event! That would be some night for 14 peopl...

Would love to, but not sure I can compete at the Highest 'Old Bottle' level. Stick me down if you fall short

NigelM

6th ok at the moment

NigelM

Ooo what a great theme. What converted me to the dark side??? Well, who, was M Coulson, but the F63 Nectar did it, so stick me down for that!

NigelM

Good for me

NigelM

yez pleez

NigelM

I Have 70 but as that slot is taken I will bring a very immature 95. (Plus a bonus bottle that says 'Noval over 40 years Port, bottled in 1987') we can have that on arrival, early bird catches the Port.

Cheers

I think we should travel in a convoy of classic minis, the suspensions rebuilt to take the weight of all the port gold , backed up by a series of erratically driven 1960s coaches.
