Hi Martin,
A quick question - are you bringing all of the bottles you've listed, or are you offering some for adoption?
If you want something unusual, I could bring Burmester.

Top Ports in 2022: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931. I have never drunk such a wonderful bottle of Port. I cried with joy.
2023: Fonseca 1966. There are not many better Ports, except a good bottle of Fonseca 1927. Wow!

So there's no "C" 

Re: 63@60 2023 - 18th July 2023 - bring a bottle event
Sorry, should have checked the agreed abbreviation but for C read Ca (or Calem to be totally clear).
Re: 63@60 2023 - 18th July 2023 - bring a bottle event
I have Noval, bottled by Grants of St James’s.
