You guys have gotten ahead of yourselves here, but I will put a list on the first post of what is committed to so that others can see it and go from there.

Roy, I don't have extra bottles of Churchill's or Noval. But I do have the Eira Velha and an extra bottle the Ferreira. Thanks, Don

Just out of curiosity, Andy, is your QH from the original release or the recent one?

Roy,
I'll bring a Warre's as well. The distributor will deliver it today, so you can add that to the list.

Hi Folks,

Between Bronwyn and I, we can contribute two out of the following (Roy, just let me know what you need most):

Fonseca
Vesuvio
Taylor
Warres

:winebath:

(I also have a record that I'm supposed to have one remaining bottle of Dows, but I have not seen it in a long time, so I'm not 100% sure.) [kez_11.gif]
Cheers, B.

Vesuvio and Fonseca work best, but are duplicates. Thanks Blair. If by chance you'd have a chance to find any from the list in the first post in this thread, that would be most appreciated. We'd really like to have more unique bottles than repeats if possible. [friends.gif]

Unfortunately not, Lisa, unless there is someone who bows out from here.

Occasionally someone does have some conflict come up, so you might get lucky. It'd be great to see you again!

Also, I've sent you a PM if you could check it and respond. Thanks!

Just an FYI....There is some 1994 Quinta de la Rosa and Quinta da Eira Velha at the infamous WineBid.

Eric,

I do not want to jump to make assumptions, are you saying you found/purchased these two Ports?

I looked at your list and compared to my inventory. Yes, I own these two Ports. I won't be attending, but thought it worthwhile to point out other options that are out there.
