Yes please, I have 'some' of this vintage and can help with adoption if needed

yes please

Posted: **10:39 Wed 07 Feb 2024**

Please can you add me to the reserves? I am interested but have no '77s so would need to work out a plan to acquire some or adopt, and the associated costs.

I'm sure that adoption will be an option here ....

Of course but I'm aware that there will be plenty of owners of the '77 vintage who would want to be part of this tasting!

Posted: **11:05 Wed 07 Feb 2024**

Yes please

Posted: **11:13 Wed 07 Feb 2024**

Yes please!

Posted: **14:10 Wed 07 Feb 2024**

Yes please.

Posted: **17:04 Wed 07 Feb 2024**

Yup. Good idea.

Posted: **19:58 Wed 07 Feb 2024**

Yes please. I have Taylor.

Posted: **20:10 Wed 07 Feb 2024**

Yes please.

Posted: **23:20 Wed 07 Feb 2024**

Yes please.

Posted: **23:45 Wed 07 Feb 2024**

Yes please

nac wrote: ↑17:04 Wed 07 Feb 2024Yup. Good idea.

Think I've got Calem* (magnum only), Croft, Dow*, Fonseca*, Graham, Justerini & Brooks, Quarles Harris*, Royal Oporto, Sandeman, Taylor, & Warre (*=single bottles).

Posted: **18:25 Sat 10 Feb 2024**

I've got Fonseca and BBR immediately to hand, will try and find the spreadsheet to track down what else.

Posted: **06:30 Wed 14 Feb 2024**

Yes please, I have most if not all 1st and 2nd rank producers and a few others.

Posted: **23:02 Wed 14 Feb 2024**

I have few ’77s; CEM has many, and also I have drunk very well from from CEM’s cellar. So the fair thing is to move me to first reserve, thus promoting CEM into the fourteenth seat.

Translation: ‘some’ = approximately everything, in every size.

Posted: **04:36 Thu 15 Feb 2024**

That's very kind of you Julian and not expected in the slightest. I'm over for 5 weeks from the 9th June so thank you.

Posted: **14:34 Mon 19 Feb 2024**

right .... the Red Room is booked so this event is defiantly happening .....

For those of us who love the English language so much here is the missing 'definitely'

This is a Port tasting. We are not defiant revolutionaries; we are traditionalist scientists testing hypotheses.

Posted: **21:51 Fri 23 Feb 2024**

I am all in favour of defiant port tastings. It smacks of cool rad street cred.

If I had left my device’s autocorrect, which substituted ‘defunct’, this would have read somewhat darker.

For exactly the same reason, I am defiantly against this modern nonsense.

Posted: **07:37 Sat 24 Feb 2024**

Well I failed English O level and a fair few others.... But you all get the gist ....

The room is booked ... So it's happening

Posted: **10:16 Sun 25 Feb 2024**

You can't make a mistake in this place!

Posted: **19:12 Thu 07 Mar 2024**

Hi Everybody,

Just starting to work out how this event will unfold …. Could you let me know what 77’s you are able to bring to the party please ? either by PM or into the thread.

Cheers

Martin

I have Taylor, Dow, Graham, Fonseca, Gould Campbell (single so corked), Gould Campbell magnum, Smith Woodhouse magnum.

Posted: **11:35 Sat 20 Apr 2024**

Hello everybody ..... Just trying to work out what we can manage between us all here so if you haven't told me what '77 bottles you could bring could you let me know please ?

Posted: **15:59 Sat 20 Apr 2024**

Of Producers that I don’t think have been offered yet, I can add RP and Calem (mag).

Posted: **18:19 Sat 20 Apr 2024**

I am pretty sure I have one bottle left of the Ferreira (dumpy bottle), otherwise I think everything else would be matching things already out there. I’ll check and confirm.

Also realised that I have Pocas.

And I just noticed that CK77 hasn't been offered yet - I have one of the late release bottles I can offer. Previous examples of this have not woo'd the crowds, so if something needs to give to keep the botlle numbers sensible, this could be a candidate.

Posted: **19:18 Mon 13 May 2024**

I've updated the front post and also found a bottle of Ferreira .... must be the phase of the moon ....

Posted: **19:19 Mon 13 May 2024**

Sorry I have been super busy and just realized that this is 4 weeks away. What do we have missing? Can someone post what is being brought so far please? (I'm not great with all the abbreviations)

Posted: **00:46 Tue 14 May 2024**

I have the following in Mags for 77

Dow, Graham, Warre, Taylor, Smith Woodhouse, Gould Campbell, Quarles Harris, Calem

-----

I don't see an N in any of what has been listed so far and I definitely have Niepoort in bottle - lots of others too but will require searching through various stores.

Posted: **06:14 Tue 14 May 2024**

It’s not my tasting so its co-ordinator will comment - but from my perspective if you just turned up with the Niepoort I for one would be delighted- it’s the one I haven’t ever got my paws on.

I think that would be a great idea

Posted: **16:36 Tue 14 May 2024**

Okay I'll bring the Niepoort then!

I'll see what everyone else brings and will fill in any gaps if able.

Cliff’s post reminded me that I also have RV (in mag).

Posted: **09:05 Wed 15 May 2024**

Can you add me to the reserves ?

Posted: **14:04 Wed 15 May 2024**

Hi all - just to confirm, I can provide Croft 1977 for this! Hope that works.

Posted: **12:52 Fri 17 May 2024**

Since I am bringing the Niepoort VP, frankly it would be downright rude not to have the '77 Colheita too. So I'll bring that as well.

Do we have a general kick off time and what's the earliest time for room arrival?

Posted: **13:58 Fri 17 May 2024**

Have stood up the Fonseca and BBR to bring back to town.

Thats very good of you

- I'll be there about 4:30 ish to get things together - people always welcome to come along and help

Posted: **20:52 Fri 17 May 2024**

When it’s about ready, pls make a list of shippers in attendance, so that placemats can be made.

Posted: **10:12 Sat 18 May 2024**

I'll be there to help, I'll bring along a mag of 1977 Napa for pre-Port slurping as the clarets were very poor in that vintage.

Posted: **11:25 Sat 18 May 2024**

I'm no longer 100% for this tasting, so I will drop to reserves and JDAW gets my spot.
