• A66 - JayKay3
• F66 - AHB
• W66 - Jdaw1
• D66 - Derek T.

• Burmester 1963
• Borges & Irmao 1963 (which could accompany the Adams 66)
• Graham's 1963
• Croft 1963
• Q d Noval 1963

The discussion above suggests that not many people have lots of 66's sitting around

• BBR 1966 was bought before I was keeping good records, and my spreadsheet says only “~£45†.
• Warre 1966 bought from Fine & Rare Wines on 1st August 2003, then costing £48.
• Dow 1966 bought in 2005 as part of a mixed lot. Perhaps Uncle Tom could be prevailed upon to choose a price.

As you can see we are struggling to come up with a wide selection of 66's. However, if Simon does have another 66 which isn't A, D, F or W we could have the following:

• A66 - JayKay3
• F66 - AHB
• W66 - Jdaw1
• D66 - Derek T.
• Other66 - Simon Lisle

1. I will be travelling from, say, 10am, until late afternoon. Do we want the two Warres decanted at â€‟10 hours or at â€‟3 hours? (I’m guessing longer.)
2. JK: are you familiar and comfortable with decanting (and indeed, double decanting)? Guessing not, I’ll advise.
   1. Have to hand a clean dry container (like, really clean and really thoroughly rinsed), such as an empty wine bottle.
   2. Have to hand a cork.
   3. Have a clean dry funnel, and an unbleached coffee filter.
   4. From one of your bottles of Adam’s 1966 remove any rubber or wax seal. (If this can be done neatly, such that the seal can be shown to us, that might help with identification. Just in case, take a a good photo before trying to remove it.)
   5. Use your best corkscrew, which of course has an open screw, to remove cork. If the cork breaks it might be necessary to push it in.
   6. Put funnel into empty bottle; unbleached coffee filter into that; pour port through.
   7. When your bottle is empty, rinse it thoroughly with water but no detergent.
   8. Drain the Adam’s bottle a for a few minutes. It won’t be perfectly dry inside.
   9. Move funnel to Adam’s bottle.
   10. Pour in a splash of the juice, only a splash.
   11. Swirl that splash of port around to remove any remaining water drops, and pour away (or into a glass).
   12. In goes the rest of the juice, and on goes the cork from sub-¶b.
   13. Drink contents of glass mentioned in sub-¶k.
   14. Bring double-decanted bottle to Crusting Pipe, with the seal and photo thereof, the Adam’s cork, and a liver.
