I was going to wait until the evening to see whether I wanted anything else after my main; but I already know whether I want to watch 10+ people eating Welsh rarebit without me or not; I've updated above.

I did consider that option; my favourite if I don't make it myself is from Waitrose in fresh packet rather than a jar, but which freezes OK too - but I would not want to be rude.Alex Bridgeman wrote:Or just bring a jar of your own.

I've just spoken with the B&F and there is defiantly no Bearnaise sauce available That's a real shame, they've been fine with it for a long time as long as we ordered in advance. Ah well - thanks for trying; I've updated above to have peppercorn instead. Maybe we'll persuade them to bring it ba...

Re: Graham (or Malvedos) vertical, Tue 14 May 2024
I’d rather do the GMs separately, not mixed in with the Graham vertical. Agreed. I think the list Martin has proposed is based on what has been offered to him. For example, no-one has offered a bottle of 1957 nor anything older than 1955. Or, reading between the lines of Martin's post: If you have ...

The Vesuvio was utterly magnificent (and a separate non-magnum bottle I had recently was equally as good); currently wine of the vintage. The Warre was also very good, and my third place...
