Hey Andy,

I got a 3L of 2011 Fonseca...let me know when you are REAL thirsty and we'll get together!

If you're really, really thirsty, I can add my 6L of 2011 Quevedo.

Will be opening them in just under a year's time, when my second boy turns 1.

A bit of a crap shoot, will have some backup plan should they be corked or otherwise unpleasant to drink...

I had one that was bottle in 1981 a couple of years ago and it was delicous!!!

Got a Tordiz ultra reserva that I keep for some Portuguese friends to visit me in May.

V exciting. Comforting that both you and Eric came out in support of it.

I've got a 1934 Quinta do Noval VP that would be the perfect special occasion port. Although, come to think of it, there's a bottle of 1945 Ramos Pinto in the cellar that would also make for an interesting special occasion port.

Got a half bottle of the 1937 Noval Colheita on the last harvest tour. Will open it on my retirement.
Also a single bottle of the 45 Croft. Waiting for a good time for it.

Gentlemen,
I'd say we have ourselves a proper tasting to start planning for in the future

I should add the 2 - 1963 Dow 1.8's I recently acquired. Don't have any plans on drinking them, but if an unlikely opportunity comes around, sure why not?
