D66 more mature than I would have expected or anticipated. Won’t be taking away the spoils this evening.

idj123

Was going to DD the D at lunchtime tomorrow.

idj123

Yes, why not-put me down for this please (although currently, I may only have a Ni (mag).

idj123

After a successful trial run on Wednesday this week, I will plump for:
Starter – Welsh Rarebit
Mains – large sausage and mash with carrots
Dessert-TBD on the day
Thanks

Between Christmas and the NewYear, I managed to grab the Bomfim 2013 (my daughter’s year of birth) for£19.97 per bottle and so, very happy with that

idj123

Got an earlier train and so, should be there by 5.30pm.

idj123

Yes please!

idj123

I believe that I have the following:

GC 70, 80 (mag), 83, 94, 97

QH 70, 77, 80 (mag), 94, 97

SW 70, 75, 77, 80, 83, 85, 91, 94, 97

idj123

Yes please. Will review and confirm what I have.

I caught up at a meeting last time and so was unable to attend, which was a huge pity as I’m a big fan of RP. So, put me down please. I have 24, 34, 64, 70, 77, 80, 83, 85, 94, and 97. RP is from the 60s. RPs from the 60s are very rare indeed.

Visiting Jerez for the first time in late March (for a couple of nights). Anyone got any suggestions for hotels, restaurants and bodegas (including sherry tastings ofc)? Anything that is a ‘must do’?

Probably should have adopted similar timing if the very immature colour of the GM is anything to go by. I double decanted at lunchtime. However, we shall see. Usual eta-around 6ish.

idj123

Just to say (for completeness) that I have 60-94 (inc).

idj123

9th preferred but can work with 10th.

idj123

I have Ni 60 and 63 but will need to check condition. Ni66 is as rare as hen’s teeth.

idj123

I’m in!

idj123

I have 3 at home. I can bring one of those. Ian - can you bring either a Crasto or Warre LBV? Or do you want to adopt the bottle from me? I don’t have either of these but could I not just bring the GM that I have sourced or has Neil’s bottle of the same already been adopted? For ease, can I suggest...

idj123

Put me down, please stop. Hopefully, I can make it this time.

I don’t have either of these but could I not just bring the GM that I have sourced or has Neil’s bottle of the same already been adopted?

idj123

And I now see that we already have a GM in attendance, further apologies!

idj123

I have checked and the odd bottle of V that I thought I had, I don’t. I have therefore sourced a GM for this tasting instead. Apologies for that. On the food front, could I order a Welsh Rarebit for starter (if that’s possible – if not, no starter). For main, new year, new chance for the B&F and...

idj123

The alternative days work for me.

idj123

Quinta do Bomfim 2013 under £25 at Asda, until you get to the checkout whereupon it’s £19.97 per bottle. Might go back again later…

I got here at 3.30pm this year-go figure!

idj123

Just as well as I said ‘ tentative’ as unfortunately I’d overlooked the fact that I’m going to the theatre that night! Reluctantly, I will therefore have to drop out. Apologies!

idj123

I’m a tentative for this (the following evening is definitely out as it’s my daughter‘s birthday).

idj123

Was in the Berry Bros shop on Monday just prior to a meeting there and they had W 77 at £76 a bottle which I thought wasn’t too bad for a high-end retailer-unless that is I misread it and it was £176 a bottle!

idj123

Mz60 double decanted at 1.45pm. Not tried and so

.My eta should be just before 6pm.

idj123

Same as Michael above, I was on the original list and so I vote that that is used as the starting point for a new date, as clearly I would like to take part!

idj123

Welsh Rarebit as a starter please, followed by burger (with cheese) and the creamed spinach. Dessert tbd on the night. Thanks.

idj123

I have decided to bring a Mz 60.

idj123

Am still available for this revised date.

idj123

I have the link and may be able to join.

Am ok for 13 January.

I believe that all Vargellas 1965 was bottled in Porto, in 1968 - but I might be wrong... Further to this; the only non-Oporto bottling of any Taylor Vargellas of which I am aware are the '67 and '69 bottlings by BBR. Does anyone know of any other non-Oporto bottlings of any Taylor Vargellas vintag...

Welsh Rarebit
Burger (M/R) and fries with creamed spinach
Dessert tbd on the night

idj123

And they clearly like F85!

idj123

Let me think…yes!

idj123

Yes, please, sir!

idj123

I will drop in to the proceedings (I have the details from Phil)
