From decanter back to bottle they go. Off to the airport in an hour.

See you all tomorrow at noon, fly safely!

Just returned from a nice dinner with friends in SF, bottles made it through the plane ride intact, 14 hours from the first taste. Life is good.

I look forward to meeting everyone tomorrow.

I agree. Fabulous people, dinner, and tasting ! Roy, knocked it out of Pac Bell Park! Thanks for all of your work!

Remarkable experience. Those of you who were unable to make this weekend's Madeira tasting missed something really special, and I am not just talking about fantastic ancient bottles of Madeira! A group of strangers with a common passion, wound up departing as friends and that for me, was the best part of the entire endeavor.

For those of you who did join in the fun, it was a great pleasure, no, great honor to have spent the better part of the past few days with you all. I certainly won't forget this experience anytime soon.

Remind me in January when time will permit me to focus on this Reidar, but I must say that date does not work. I will be in Portugal from May 11-18th for sure. Can you switch dates NOW?

[Reidar Andersen]

I can, let me come back ... Need a bit of thinking..

[Reidar Andersen]

NOW , weekend after 24.-25. May will work, I now confirm, as long as nothing extra, extra ordinary will happen..

[Roy Hersh]

That is a holiday weekend here and we will never get people to leave their families for this. How about Sat. May 31st and Sun. June 1st?
