Do people want to swap red/whites with different people, or 2 bottles to same person?

Rich, just a thought. On two other forums I frequent, we do a yearly wine swap. Basically, all they do is take everyone's name and put it into a hat. Then names are drawn to be paired with someone else. The person who's sending the wine has complete choice over what they will be giving to the recipient. Some people don't make reds. Others make only fruit wines. But, by doing it this way, it allows the sender the flexibility to send what they feel are their best wines, regardless of the type.

As I said, just a thought.

I think thats perhaps a better option, It means you can send whatever you want.

[Rich]

Right, Posting day approaching rapidly and not really enough interest. Fairly pointless getting Bob/Karl/Richard_S/Darren to swap with each other as they are all close enough to drink each others anyway. I'll leave it till friday, then see what can be done!!

Get your names on the list!!

(Goldseals name added, he wants to be on the list really, he had drunk a few bottles though when we were chatting about it..)

[Mel]

Ok I'm willing to give it a go, if anyone want to try my random, non scienfic wines from REALLY old recipies that is

[Rich]

Names paired up on there for starters, if anyone is unhappy, please PM me.(Goldseal for being volunteered, Spritzer for asking about it, then getting volunteered, or anyone else..)

Good job Rich, i'm happy...presume we just exchange addresses by PM with our swap partners ?

[Rich]

Yes, please chat via pm and sort out your own swap Maybe use the 'what's in your glass tonight' thread to review each others wine when they arrive.

[spritzer]

Oh, the pressure of having to swap with Bob

[Her Lushness]

Yes, I'm getting a bit anxious now, I hope that I'm up to standard!

[Mamgiowl]

Yes, I'm getting a bit anxious now, I hope that I'm up to standard!

That's why I declined to take part - he'd probably choke on mine

Planned to send him 2 bottles of Parsnip then did you?

[NorthernWiner]

Yeah, word of warning... he likes to put his thumb over the top and shake them up real good.

[Rich]

That'll release any pressure that has built up.

[Duffbeer]

Rightyho there Steve, yes he does, but guy's don't get too freaked, it's just a little fun, and a little trade, we aint gonna give any one a slating.
I know the title of wine judge may scare some, but trust us we make crap wines too from time to time. Bob more often than me of course

[Duffbeer]

Personaly, I'm quite looking forward to the exchange, top job Rich.
