Quinta do Noval Tasting 1 September 2026

[Bertie3000]

Thank you. I have updated the opening post. Christopher to bring 1994 and CPR1 to now bring 1997 (hope that is ok?).

[Christopher]

Perfect
Many thanks

[hadge]

Please can hadge and Christopher disclose their bottles so I can finalise the list. Thank you.

I'm sorry but I’m going to have to drop out of this tasting, as i thought this date was going to be too difficult to make. have a fun event.

[Bertie3000]

Sorry to hear that hadge.

@winesecretary - would you like to take the spare place? I think you said previously you did not have any bottles but it looks like you could adopt from nac or CPR1.

Happy for George to adopt my 1991.

I have a vague recollection (some drinks may have been had) of a conversation with cem where he said he could no longer attend…

Is this correct or imagined/mis-remembered?

[winesecretary]

Hello. 1 September still appears available. I am grateful for the opportunity to attend, thank you Bertie3000 and hadge, and for the opportunity to adopt, thank you nac.

[Bertie3000]

@cem - When this tasting was announced you were not sure if you could attend. Could you confirm if you can make it or not please so I can finalise bottles etc. Thank you.

[Bertie3000]

Club Sirloin 600G - £65

At present, I am not sure if cem is attending. If anyone has any other way of reaching him that would be greatly appreciated.

Such squabbling should perhaps be in the placemats thread, rather than Noval tasting, unless you're only making a Noval-specific point (which seems unlikely).
