For those that expressed an interest in this, with a day and a bit to go it’s already at £1000. As such, I’m withdrawing my interest.
Feel free to bid...

Can I go on the reserve list
Re: 1994s, Tue 16 Nov 2021
Yes. Done.
Re: 1994s, Tue 16 Nov 2021
As there have been no posts for 111 days, this is a gentle reminder that the 1994 horizontal is still scheduled for 114 days hence, being Tuesday 16th November 2021.

I have 23 '94s, some still in owcs, but opening them would in most cases pose little problem.
Please consult if wines are proving hard to find.

I have an industry guest who I would like to invite to this tasting - I am happy to share glasses with him if required.
He has offered to contribute Churchill 1994, if we would like him to.

Re: 1994s, Tue 16 Nov 2021
Please could somebody else become the organiser of this tasting?
I expect that I won’t be able to attend, but don’t yet want to wholly give up on attendance. If my seat were needed, I’d concede it.

Re: 1994s, Tue 16 Nov 2021
I’ll step in and take on the organisation of this one, I have a soft spot for the 1994s.
Please don’t expect to see much happen until after my October 26 deadline has passed.

Realising I'm first reserve, I should point out that I have easy access to the Berry's 94 (bottled by SW). Happy to adopt if preferred.
Re: 1994s, Tue 16 Nov 2021
Zak you’re up, I can’t make this due to a work commitment the morning after.

When I was the organiser a provisional list of twenty-one Ports was made, and put in the placemats. Does the new organiser endorse that earlier selection?

The new organiser is a firm believer in the maxim “Less is more”. It is likely the number of Ports tasted will be nearer 14 than 21, but such decisions will be taken in a day or two.

Re: 1994s, Tue 16 Nov 2021
I have just realised Glenn Eliott is still on the list of attendees. While Glenn is welcome to join us virtually, I do not believe that he is planning to fly to the UK for this tasting.
Glenn - if I am wrong in my assumption, please let me know!
In the meantime I am presumptively promoting Christopher to replace Glenn.

Yes, still have a couple of bottles of Gould Campbell, the Passadouro, Taylor in bottles and magnums, and loads of the de la Rosa.
Also now have a couple of bottles of the Graham and a magnum of Churchill LBV.
All are immediately accessible.
