Thanks Tom and all, two excellent Industry Guests too, been looking forward to this for a while, see you later.

My copy of The Book arrived here in speedily urban London today, and it looks very good indeed. I am most certainly not disappointed.

That is a lovely looking line up. Good effort

Yes please, I'm still in.

Yes please, good idea, but I currently have no Krohn.

Good idea, I'll try.

I'm pretty sure, incidentally, that we have more than one resident pedant, but one in particular is most useful in starting new threads and policing us.

Do we get two guesses at the Magnum?

I’m against this precedent. Would we get only half a guess at a half?

Given our skills at guessing I'm not against two goes. Bringing a blind magnum in two bottles is enough to confuse us. More guesses might give more points and more joy (but probably won't).

An excellent idea, I'm also volunteering.

Fabulous. Thank you.

Waitrose online included fortified. I mulled a little then bought a few more QdVesuvio 2011 at £45. My lack of willpower is legendary.

Yes please.

I've just listened to the esteemed author on The UK Wine Show ThirtyFifty podcast where he talks about vintage port. Very entertaining and well worth a listen. There's also a follow up podcast which I haven't listened to yet, where he talks about The Book. Both very good, very well worth a listen.

No dinner for me thanks.

Is OBV a possibility?

I'm beginning to like blind. I'm still as rubbish at guessing though.

Excellent plan. Me too.

I can now offer Noval 66.

A very good idea. I'd like to come, but only have Warre and I see Jasper already offering that, so I would have to adopt please.

I'm on the way. Should get there a little after 5.

I'll be able to get there for 5.30 to help, probably earlier.

Default food order for me please.

My Ck70 at B&F.

Thanks.

Excellent news, and congratulations. Hope it sells well. My order placed.

Monday works for me too, permission has already been sought.

Works for me, yes please, thanks.

Hi Stuart

Great advice, and thanks for the more accurate estimate. For precision, is £50 (£600 for 12) what Gus could expect to get net, or a gross figure excluding shipping to an auction and commission etc.? Thanks.
