I'd like to plan a cross-atlantic virtual tasting at a time that isn't wildly inconvenient for East Coast US and UK.

1. Would attendees be willing to meet on a weekend?
2. Would attendees be willing to start on a weekday at 8:30pm BST / 3:30pm EDT ?
3. Would attendees be willing to meet on a Friday afternoon?

A weekend is tough for me due to family commitments - but it might be possible if during the middle or end of the summer school vacation (ie. by the time Mrs. B has becomefed up with my company).

8.30pm BST / 3.30pm EDT start time certainly works for me, whatever day of the week. I could probably be online for around 4 hours.

Friday afternoon is essentially the weekend, so is subject to the first comment above. Say any time on or after the weekend of 14-15-16 August. (In fact, this weekend would be perfect for me to take part in a weekend tasting since my mother in law is staying with us that weekend, so my wife will have some other company...)

Since I'm working from home, it's possible for me to join daytime tastings in the middle of the day (Pacific Time). So I would probably be available for an evening UK/afternoon Eastern/lunch Pacific tasting.

Generally any day of the week is equally possible given that time frame, so Friday or a weekend should be fine for me.

I’d be up for this and like Glenn I could make a Friday or Saturday work. Maybe given Glenn’s comments elsewhere, we should re-evaluate the 85s?

I have an ’80 within reach, but not an ’85. We could be approximate.

I should’ve able to do this this Friday at proposed time of 1230 PST (3:30pm eastern). Do advise as soon as possible.
