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.

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?

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.

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.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

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
