There's generally something going on, though it will depend on the venue. Roy will probably work on that in the next month or so and then we'll know more. We'd be happy to have you join us for dinner if the circumstances work out!

YES! I now have in my hands a beautiful bottle of 1966 Taylor. Fill into the neck. Can't wait to see you all again, Don

I ordered a Kopke VP from UK and they sent a Colheita, so I am back to ground zero, and also stuck with an overpriced Coheita (which I already had).Glenn E. wrote:Great, I marked you down for Kopke '66 for Sunday!Tom DB wrote:I found a 66 Kopke VP online though and have ordered it

At this point, I feel out of options.
Have any extra 66 VPs turned up?

Other than Lisa's links (which we discussed this morning), I haven't seen anything else crop up. But I've only been looking in the US, so there may be something available in Europe that could still be ordered and shipped.

There is a bottle of Nacional listed domestically. I don't know if the group would be interested in doing something similar a couple of the previous horizontals and only having the donor cover part of the cost with the rest covered by an additional donation by the rest of the attendees.

I have acquired a Nacional. Since Sandy doesn't have a bottle yet he has offered to pay a larger chunk of the cost, then we'll split the remainder if that's okay with everyone. Rough guess is that it will work out to ~$40 per person.

Even though we're doing Saturday blind, I still need for people to tell me what they're bringing so that I can help avoid duplication. So if you haven't already PM'd me your selection, please do so to help me help the people who are still trying to source bottles!

I just helped Jeff and Samara select their Ports for Saturday. They've picked a nice pair and they should be fun!
Now I just need to do the same for Amy and I think we're pretty close to all set.
If you haven't emailed/PM'd me your selection for Saturday, please do so that I can ensure no one brings any duplicates.
