Was this vertical of Quinta de la Rosa postponed sine die, or can we hope, usefully hope, that it will be reborn?

I had a chat with Tony on this not too long ago. It is his intention to resurrect the tasting but he has little bandwidth to think of things like this until after Christmas.

I suspect that he will be fairly quiet until the New Year.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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

IO am afraid I will have to excuse myself for that date as both Mrs Reads are away - the wife and the mother! C'est la vie.

Yes, 10th May OK.

Only thing to (maybe) be aware of is that it's the Quevedo Closure tasting the following evening.

Yes - she had 10th or 11th May

For me - it means I can stay over (although I am reserve for Quevedo)

Am unlikely to be able to make a tasting that week. That said, perhaps leave me as a reserve - I might be able to do a flying visit if we were under on numbers, but definitely let others have the spot first.

n.b. I thought the Quevedo had been abandoned.

You're correct, it has. Just spotted the message in the thread. The header/title hasn't been updated.

Hi we only have 10 at present - we need a few more to justify the number of bottles. I also need to confirm with Sophia in the next week or so.
I have (nearly) all of the Ports and will supply in exchange for a small donation to charity (of my choosing).

Do some of the reserves want to step forward?
Any other takers?

I am only a possible for May 10 at the moment. My diary is not yet clear for the start of that week.

Sadly I don't think that I will be able to make this tasting, if anything changes I will let you know.

I couldn't make the 10th May if promoted from reserves.
