If Alex doesn't have a Graham's The Stone Terraces VP I can bring mine. I can also bring the Niepoort Bioma Vinha Velha VP if DJ is unable to attend.

I currently have 18 GST11. That might be enough to last until 2051. I open one for a vertical every time Graham's declares a new GST.
So far that has averaged one vintage every 3 years. 11, 15, 16, 17, and 21 since 2011. Though a potential 2024 declaration, which seems likely, won't be known for another month or so. Since I love GST, let's assume every 2.5 years so that we get more of it.
25 years to go means 10 more declarations and 10 more verticals. I currently have 18 bottles left. Ergo, I have sufficient quantities to reserve one for this tasting.
(I have other 2011s, but this one seems like the one most likely to be difficult to find in 25 more years. There were only 250 9-liter cases made.)

Well it's good to plan ahead!
As it is a Sunday where we are not generally open in the evening it is good to get ahead.
I can certainly pop a booking enquiry in on the date with a follow up to contact you earlier that year?
It would be smart to follow up yourselves closer to the year in case the booking system in the intervening four decades has been changed and to catch up with the then current manager who potentially has not yet been born....

I have created a Booking for you for the 23rd April 2051 in our current booking engine, whole lower floor rom 12pm-6pm, you can contact and adjust time and number of remaining attendees closer to the date.
I have added a "follow up" on the 9th January 2051 for the team at Boot and Flogger to contact you to check attendance.
You will need to liaise with the team then regarding any "special arrangements" necessary, having checked the thread on the forum wheelchair access, assisted nursing care and other unusual religious and posthumous requirements will all have to be organised and agreed to in advance.
Otherwise all good to go, I have added a reminder to my calender and will try to pop by even if no longer working here to say hello.
Best wishes,
Ollie
Re “posthumous requirements”, I, the organiser, currently anticipate the disinvitation of dead people.

I worked with Helen at the Bunghole cellars on and off while you were "stationed" there and can well imagine her happily offering to open for you on a Sunday in the far future and am happy to follow her lead.

Is this still on? I need to make arrangements if it is.
