Please post food orders ASAP.

My default please.

Do we have any volunteers who could assist with setting up, decanting and pre-pouring on the day please? I am not yet sure whether or not work commitments will allow me to be there ahead of the start time so if there is someone willing and able to take charge on the day of the tasting it would be m...

Absolutely we like bottles like this, especially with decent fill levels, cork not damaged or raised, and a good colour to the wine.
Can we get a couple of higher resolution images to look at more closely (perhaps by PM, or links by PM, as appropriate)?

Opened as a treat at home. Full, woody and heavy fruit on the initial taste, yet a surprisingly light and delicate finish; much more balanced once given 4h+ post-decant. This bottle not quite as good as previous, particularly on the second day when the wine was still good but the finish was less rou...

The vintage stars themselves I find a little too cluttered for the overall appearance that I'm distracted with the fill and not the vintage date itself. I suggest /ShapesInTitles false def as the perfect solution. Or just using a different shape from the options available; I think gman was saying h...

Vintage port from 1993 is essentially a non-starter, as Tom describes. I would suggest either looking at VP from 1991 bottled in 1993, or alternatively you could look for Colheita (essentially vintage tawny port) from that year, such as the Kopke 1993 Colheita.

Given Monkey's birth it really should be Stone Terraces, though I think someone would be tightening his head band if he s trying to open those this soon...

I would hazard that Monkey is irrepressibly drinking Taylor '85.

Sorry Phil but attending the Great British Beer Festival at Olympia this evening.
I am sure Phil’s wife is gutted you won’t make their anniversary soirée!

Not for me, sorry; anniversary tomorrow, and I'd like to have more of them

One 1975 back in the line-up.

Excellent - thank you.

The monkey did a fantastic job, had us all laughing (especially with the tasting notes, very well observed and written), even if he didn't score any points on guessing the wines; his efforts were appreciated. Talking of the "What is it?" scoring, this is the first night I remember where nobody (exce...

14 bottles for 14 people on a school night is appropriate. More is unnecessary, but desirable if rare or delicious. I would be very interested to try two bottles of 1975 Cockburn, from the same case, with the same fill level and the same weight, side by side with one having been given a long decant...

Update - should be there by 6.30

Train cancelled (no driver). Alternate route train cancelled (breakdown). Next train running late, will miss connection. I may be slightly late...

I have decanted (2pm) and smells... glorious (what else!).
Have printed, and will be there ~6pm.

Quite simple, but nonetheless, please check for errors.

All looks correct.
I should arrive at 6; I can print and bring unless anyone else will be arriving earlier.
