Regretfully it appears I am going to have to miss this event. Please give my space away ; (

Could I be added to reserves please?

Neil: you have first refusal on the seat. I am confident that you’ll accept.

I accept.

[akzy]

I'm unlikely to be able to attend this. Please offer my space to someone else.

An industry guest was intended, but didn’t happen. We have a long waitlist. Doing the obvious thing.

Harry, Phil; do you accept? And which ’92s can you make available?

Am looking unlikely to be able to make the date; pass to next reserve.

That is me
I can make the date - thus consider me confirmed
If helpful I can provide Fonseca, Vesuvio, Passadouro, or for a little fun a Warre LBV?

In the unlikely event that I make it off the reserve list, the only 1992 I have is Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo.

Should this be rescheduled and become an attendee, now also have Niepoort.

Still have both of these.

I'm good for tuesday 6th April - will double check what I have other than, F

I’d love to try the Quinta Nova please.

I’ve received updated inventories of 1992s. We are rather light of this year. Please would people confirm a willingness to bring as follows.

• THRA: Df, DB, EV, V;
• TC: CáF, B;
• MPM: F, T;
• NAC: Nv, Ni;
• AHB: CkC;
• GEAG: GM;
• WPS: SW;
• SCD: Yt.

That’s only 14 bottles, so other good possibilities welcomed: pls PM me. Should we add a Warre 1992 ʟʙᴠ?

Some financial equalisation will be necessary, so pls also tell me a cost.

Thank you.

[nac]

[*]NAC: Nv, Ni;

Yes, happy to bring both. I'll PM costs.

Should we add a Warre 1992 ʟʙᴠ?

Yes please.

I have just relise that something might make it a little challenging for me to atend this event and i'm not going to be able to 100% commit for a week or so. therefore please can I stay as a reserve for this event and please promote next person up.

[jdaw1]

Next up is ’Dia, who might be honeymooning.

Confirmed - if anything else crops up I will let you know

[Constandia]

haha! Count me in.

[winesecretary]

Confirmed; look forward to it. More ChAA92 remains elusive alas.

We seem to be missing the Passadouro 92 which is worth including alongside the Ni, and is much better than in some other years if I recall correctly. If wanted I have some.

[idj123]

I also have the W LBV 92 and would be happy to bring if required.

[winesecretary]

I am now going to be running late for this tasting, as I will not land at Heathrow until 1825 on 6th, but I am determined to attend, absent flight delays.

I will aim to deliver the GM92 to the B&F the previous week and will ask them to decant it on the morning of the 6th.

A bottle has been selected and stood upright to settle over the next two weeks.

[winesecretary]

That's real purty...

A draft of the food order has been started, but is currently low on content. I will enquire about special steaks and post here.

[jdaw1]

Pleas could people bring as follows:

• THRA: Df, DB, EV;
• TC: CáF, B;
• MPM: F, T;
• NAC: Nv, Ni;
• AHB: CkC, V;
• GEAG: GM;
• WPS: SW;
• SCD: Yt;
• CPR: Ps;
• JDAW: ChAA.

Please let me know costs.

My ChAA92 was bought this month for £37.

[flash_uk]

F and T confirmed for me. £68 and £75 respectively.

[jdaw1]

Special steaks:

• £49, 600g, Club Sirloin Steak
• £39, 240g, Fillet Steak
• £35, 300g, Rib Eye Steak
• £43, 400g, T-Bone
• £70, 500g, Chateaubriand

Apparently “Served with a choice of side and pepper / Chimichurri sauce”.

The accounting will reflect the additional expensiveness of steaks.

It has already been decided that Mike and I will share a blue Club Sirloin (food order updated).

Food orders please, from this or from menu.

[winesecretary]

Starter: welsh rarebit and a green salad
Main: special order t-bone, medium, chimichurri sauce, french fries

Hurrah!
