What decisions have I to make?

Deadline for reconfirmations has passed. Who moves to and from the waitlist?

OK. One step at a time:

Since my last update on 9th November 2018 I can only see one reconfirmation from Ben Read.

JDAW, please confirm I have not missed anyone.

Assuming Ben is the only additional reconfirmation then CaliforniaBrad, RAYC, TLW and PEM are dropped from the attendees list and will be added to the bottom of the reserve list in that order. The reserve list will be updated first to include those who have asked to be added since 9th November.

Nudge.

Assuming a few drop (dead) out,and I’m not one of them, I will bring an M & S 2011.

A very sound investment

Opened one last night: tasting note.

Can I please be put on the reserve list for this? I have bottles of the Niepoort and Noval from 2011 in my cellar.

Being a younger Port lover, I should probably get myself added to the reserves.

Recon firming planned attendance

Add me brah

In the likely event I’m dead, yous will all have a chance to taste two 6l of the 2011quevedo at my send off (literally made a last will entirely for that purpose!)

Who the f else?!

Dude!

stop being so pessimistic! In 2051 I would be 81 and I admit given my current weight and lifestyle It is looks unlikely I would make it. But I still signed up!
Not sure if you watched a series called "All creatures great and small" so far but when Siegfried and James signed up for WII they drank really good old Bourdeaux from 1928. Siegfried drank on the night before joining up the RAF in 1939 Margaux 1928 and James drank with his wife Helen if I recall correctly Haut Brion 1928. So after signing up what will you drink tonight?

BTW any plans coming over the pond my dear?

regards

Thank you.

Are we reconfirming again? I reconfirm!

So do I. Derek’s tasting though, so for him to say.

I reconfirm as well.

Reconfirming too in case it is required, but I am not sure we completed confirmations from the last round yet. Anyway, in more ways than one I would be thrilled to attend.

Can I also add my son Zac (ZCD) to the reserve list please. Hopefully he will be wheeling me there and back so it would be nice for him to enjoy some of the juice too.

Please may I be added to the reserves list for this event, too?

I say not. Derek’s call, but I say not.

If yes, all three of mine get added — this being the official bagsy — and soon after all of everybody else’s. I say no: Port enthusiasts can sign on themselves.

Please can i be added to the reserves list.

I might not be available, as I'll be getting my 102nd covid booster shot around this time.

That made me laugh.

I'll reconfirm too, even though I will be 87 on the day. I see no reason to be anything other than optimistic...

I agree with Julian.

I hereby appoint Julian D. A. Wiseman as Vice President of Administration of this tasting.

Julian, the organisation of this tasting is a mess, can you please sort it out? Hurry along man, there is no time to lose!

Just got my annual bloods, thumbs up from my G.P. so still on course for attending on what will be the day of my 90th. birthday. Can we finish early, don't get to London that often so hoping to hit the nightclubs.

Just gone from a Fonseca LBV to a Taylor's; is that not a demotion?
