Dow tasting in NY March 19th

[Jeff G.]

Hey Guys,

Would any one be interested in a Dow Vertical in NY on March 19th?

We have vintages from 1960 onwards, missing 1972, 1975, 1980 (which will be provided by glenn)

i'm not sure about repost links from other sites, so I'm posting queries directly here.

I'd be interested. Not sure I could offer any vintages not represented, but can surly pay for my share, or Elys and my share if there's enough room.

Jeff,

My wife Ruth and I are planning to be in Philadelphia for several days around the 19th and would love to come to NY for the tasting. We both went on the Port Harvest Tour this past October with Glenn, Moses et al. We, too, don't have any of the missing vintages, but would be happy to share in the costs of the tasting.

We are goign to aim for a steakhouse downtown, is that okay for everyone?

[Glenn E.]

Mmm... steak...

One of the ones we've used before, or are we trying a new one?

[Moses Botbol]

Steak works for Elys and I.

[Marco D.]

I would love to attend if slots are still available. Not a lot of Dow in my cellar, but would pay my share...

[Jeff G.]

that's fine,

I think 12 people is a fair number so that everyone gets a taste and seconds across 12 bottles.

Going to aim for a different one.

Maybe we could include a few other bottles too?

[Jeff G.]

What: Dow Vintage Port, starting in 1960.
[*]Acquired to date: 60, 63, 66, 70, 77, 80, 83, 85
[*]Seeking: 72, 75(?)
[*]Acquired but doubtful if it's worth including: 94, 97, 00, 03, 07

We have 8 bottles not including the 90s and 00s

What else do you suggest Moses?

We could source the 50s, but I would imagine the price goes up exponentially.

[Glenn E.]

We could include a couple of Bomfims... those should be less expensive and would still fit the theme.

[Moses Botbol]

I regret to inform, but Elys & I won’t be able to attend. I forgot that we have something on that weekend. I hope we did not screw anything up… Sorry.

[Jeff G.]

No worries,

that's why we have early planning =)

Glenn,

i can look for some bonfims.

[Roy Hersh]

Jeff,

It is your gig but just a suggestion ... include the 2007. It is blow away great, even though it is really young, unless you have too much VP, I'd let everyone see the latest and greatest youngster too. Up to you, I'm just sayin'.

[Jeff G.]

Mike W. was clamoring for this =)

Good chance for the 07 to round out this line up

[Jeff G.]

can you guys who are coming pm me your email so i can coordinate?

thanks,
Jeff

[Lamont Huxley]

Is there any chance there's still room for one more at this event? I would be interested in taking part if there is...

[Jeff G.]

shoot me pm with your email so i can coordinate please

[Jeff G.]

We have a full house of 12 people
with 4 people on the waitlist.

the cost of the ports appear to be 70-100$/person + the seperate cost of food

[Roy Hersh]

So ... how did it turn out?
