From checking the Mutuals Public Register it appears that the Wine Society were at Holles Street between August 1929 and October 1940, so it's probably a 1930s bottling. Cockburn’s Full Dry was in Wine Society catalogues, intermittently, from about March 1912, at 24/- per dozen (ten metric pennies ...

I went into this tasting dissmissing my friend’s silly hypothesis. because the act of decanting so mixes air into the liquid, I was confident that the extent of surface area — ship’s versus straight sided — would make no approximately difference. Overall . My view is, there was a some difference bet...

Done, I hope correctly.

Appears to be a "Michael M" on the attendees who isn't.
Other than that all good.

The placemats have been fixed.

Also:

The Warre 1947 is high shoulder, bottler unknown (though it came from Alex B., and it might be that a different bottle of the batch had a label). I propose to open and decant at 07:30 on the day. Objections?
