Pintas Vertical

[mcoulson]

OK subject to couriers and UK customs I should be able to bring 2019 and 2015

Thanks Julian
Can I please add 3 reserved. 2 for the winemakers and one hopefully for a member from abroad.
This if can get it to work will be very difficult to repeat.
Thanks

Maybe I'm completely wrong, but could it be that I am supposed to be the "member from abroad"? (because I posted about the existing VP's of Pintas).
I am an enormous fan of Sandra and Jorge (please say hello to them from Paul if they join you), but I have no intention to be present (too far, too old ), although it is undoubtedly a great tasting!

Thanks PCM, while it would be lovely for you to join us it’s actually reserved for a big W&S fan in Europe

I have ordered the 2014 (not listed on page 1) and 2016 from Wine House Portugal. They have very interesting collection of ports. Fingers crossed they clear customs. I appreciate I am far down the attendee list so if I do not make the cut or people want to source from elsewhere then no problem.

Just found I have 2019 in the cellar at home so another one off the list!

Right .... These have both arrived .... I actually have them !

Okay so we are short just 2004 and 2009. De Portkelder in the Netherlands has them both but they don't deliver to the UK these days. Group adoption?

Let’s see what Pintas themselves want to provide.

Thanks Julian

Let me go back to them, I think there is a 20 and 21 but we should be able to source those

For our continental member can you please put down Axel


many thanks all.

Done.

[Christopher]

Thank you all for coming back on this and nice we do have most of the vintages.
I have reached out to Wine and Soul to let them know what we have and asked if they could come back with a date where ideally they can join us.
I will update this Post once I have some dates.

Waiting to hear back from C&B. However, put me down for the 2018.

Now definitely have the 2018.

[Alex Bridgeman]

I'm not currently on the list of attendees / reserves, but if the date is one I can make and enough people ahead of me have to drop out, I could contribute any of 2004, 2011, 2017 or 2018.

Thanks Alex, great we have the 2004 now.
Given it’s such a difficult Port to get hold of we may need to prioritise people who have bottles but let’s see

Thanks
