Sadly I can't make this one - but save me a place for the 12th Anniversary Party. In fact, save me two places as I plan to bring my better half with me on a visit to the North-West that we will coincide with the 12th Anniversary Party date.

Alex,

Lemme guess, kids out of the house?

I think you may want to reconsider your dates in 2017. A decade hence, from your 2007 visit. 8--)

This coming week, I plan to spend time planning this 9th Anniversary more closely. I have the room reserved for Saturday and need to consider the Sunday event. More to come within the week!

Has the Port lover Prince taken over Andy's mind, or vice versa?

Find my two 1994s for the 1994 horizontal. Dow 1994 VP and Graham's 1994 VP. What are we going to do for night two? :)

Brad, You lost me on that one. But I think I can scrounge up an old Windjammer motorcycle to bring to the tasting so everyone can get their picture taken on it.

If I could put in a request to those still acquiring bottles, I'd love if someone brought an Osborne. The Duff Gordon I'm bringing says made by Osborne on the label, so I would be cool to taste them side by side.

Was there a call for bottles? I haven't seen that yet.

I do have a 1994 Osborne, I'll have to find it. I purchased it specifically for a 1994 vertical, so this tasting would be perfect.

Good question. There has not but we need to start working on that asap.

Here are a couple I can bring that others may not have and are worth adding to the mix.

1994 Quarles Harris VP
1994 Quinta do Crasto VP
