FTLOP 9th Anniversary Party - Update 7/18/14

[Roy Hersh]

Blair and Bronwyn are in on the Nacional too.

And a big thanks to Blair who tracked down a bottle of 1994 Quinta do Noval (regular bottling) in great shape, so we'll have that along with the Nacional which will be great.

I still am hoping to hear whether you want to do Sunday or not. We now have a potential great venue too ... so speak now or forever hold your Port.

Front page thread has been UPDATED.

I would love to do Sunday, already have the time off, so why not drink port?

For the record, yes I'm in for Sunday also.

If we add on a Sunday event, I think as per usual, we add parameters like either VP or Colheitas from 1970 [later amended to 1977] and older.

I have a bottle in mind for Sunday, but it doesn't meet the usual parameters. However, I'm quite certain that no one will mind.

Never had a Nacional, so I'm in!

I'm also in for Sunday. How about '63 or '70 Warre's or '70 Taylor?

I'm in on Sunday. I have some nice older wines to try!

I'm in on sunday. I'm sure I can find a bottle in the cellar that mets the requirement

[Roy Hersh]

Unfortunately, Maurice Fitzhugh had to pass on joining us. So there is one open spot at the moment that is open to any FTLOP subscriber or past tour participant that would like to join us.

I am in for Sunday also. Does 77 Fonseca sound good? I would love to get some time parameters. What time should we plan to be there on Saturday and what time will the event be on Sunday? It does not matter when the good times end, only when they begin….

[Roy Hersh]

I have updated the Sunday participants on the first thread as well.

Of course we will be doing the 1994's single blind.

Sunday will be sighted. I may enlist Glenn's assistance in finding out what Ports people are going to bring for Sunday, so we can keep track here too. I will determine start times for Saturday and Sunday by this weekend, providing everyone enough time to figure out logistics.

Thanks,

Roy

Roy I saw the weather forecast. I hope your air conditioners are in good working order. Hah

If that is the case, you may want the couch downstairs where it remains just above cellar temperature. Don't worry, I'll lock the cellar so you won't catch a cold sleeping in there.

Sounds good to me. And did I tell you I passed my covert lock picking class at work. :)

Okay Sunday folks, let's get a list started. Please either post here or PM me with the bottle you plan to bring. If you want me to keep it a surprise I won't add it to the first post in the thread, but we'd like to know what's coming so we can set up flights, etc. Remember that we're using VP or Colheita from 1977 or earlier as the general guideline for Sunday.

Mine's going to be a secret, though a couple of people probably already know if they have good memories.

[Bradley Bogdan]

I'll be sending up a '57 Ficklin California port. Any '57 babies?

Yum! I bought a couple of those last summer, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they're like!

I hope that includes simple locks tied to explosive devices?!?!?
