Draft of the food order.

How decorated or plain do you want the placemats?

Tom: please confirm that the correct post correctly lists what you have available.

• Duck paté.
• Gammon and everything, perhaps including Ian’s egg.

Would you like me to assemble the food order?

On Wine-Pages.com is offered “a case of Dow 2011 (DP) in reserves with The Wine Society … (6x75cl) £650”.

If interested please respond on Wine-Pages.com, not here.

And we have an announcement : The Queen has today been pleased to confer a Dukedom on Prince Henry of Wales. His titles will be Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkeel. Prince Harry thus becomes His Royal Highness The Duke of Sussex, and Ms. Meghan Markle on marriage will become Her Roya...

Time for the placemats? The first post is somewhat inconsistent — guidance please.

as well as the missing 1966 and 1983, 1985..

These I have - the list was of the missing ones..

Sorry Tom, I don’t understand. Your posted a list of vintages you have — a list not including 1966. and you now have 1966? Fine: I’ll assume a recent purchase. Please confirm my interpretation.

The glass on the right-ish far-bottom, not quite on the placemats , was a Sandeman 1968 left over from The BFT . The S68 had been double-decanted in Portugal about nine days before. http://www.jdawiseman.com/2018/20180515_glasses_01.png http://www.jdawiseman.com/2018/20180515_glasses_02.png http://w...

Can I go on the reserve list please

Please put Sten (SAI) on the reserve list.

Done.

JB’s vintages not yet added to the list. Will be done once he has a place.

Some bottles were off, but the magnums and the Fonseca 1970 showed wonderfully. As did, amongst others, O60, Cr60, and F60. As did the 1982 tawny bottled for the occasion.

The evening was splendid, the four toasts being made by our newest citizen.

May I ask that a treasure trove of pre-poured (or at least decanted) Port not long be left unguarded?

1945 (missing from your list..)

My list included all the ‘✔’s, but not the ‘≈’s. The Book has 1945 as “≈ Produced, perhaps not sold”.

List added to first post.

Thank you for posting, and at such length.

Tom: which vintages do you have? Or, equivalently, which vintages are missing?

Some of my Monday will be taken by a small operation (it’s OK, unlikely to kill me). So Tuesday will be a crush. Please could I leave AHB and DRT in charge of set-up?

My Fonseca 1970 is already at the B&F. I plan to be there at some point in the afternoon to decant it. Are there other bottles at the B&F that I should also decant?

That being so, I accept your kind offer and will deliver my magnum to the B&F for you to decant.

Thank you.

Graham’s website has no VPs after 2011. Other Symington brands do. Sigh. Have we a specific source for G and GST?

We are fourteen. Other joiners will be waitlisted.

We are currently thirteen.
