Re: Wed 19th April 2017 - A Short Notice Enquiry

I would very much like to join this tasting, regardless of the bottles that are brought, but will need to confirm after the Easter weekend to firm up the childcare for young Zachary.

Re: Thu 30 Nov 2017, Sandemans and 1970s (for the Placemat Software’s 15th anniversary)

Just a post to resurrect this thread as it moves closer to happening... I can confirm I would still like to come, and still have the W70 to offer.

Unexpectedly, at this late stage I would now be able to attend, and would love to be there. I would be happy to take over adoption of the Mackenzie if that would be simplest or most helpful?
Splendid news!

Re: Apostrophe crimes

A BBC quiz on apostrophe punctuation... (I shamefully only got 7/10)

And an accompanying documentary on the apostrophiser from Bristol, who would enjoy this thread and fit right in!

I would like to come along whenever this maybe held, but at this stage would need to look at adoption if possible.

Re: Wed 22nd March 2017, Blind at the Boot & Flogger

A very well timed and well organised emergency by Charles. Some really interesting and lovely ports on show. The S60 was most unusual both in colour and to drink, not as it should be but very nice. The Cr63 improved throughout the evening but was not at it's best. WOTN was Mike's reserve bottle and ...

We have a winner... I believe we would have got there even quicker if Jdaw had had time to split his >31 and <57.

Anyway... The position of question master returns to Norway.

Closest with 22 second, 6 in third and 108 trailing in the rear.

jdaw1 wrote: 22:21 Tue 21 Mar 2017 But the best guess can be irrelevant. Consider 24 is the best; 12 is second; 30 is third; and 8 is fourth.
Mike is still the closest. If there is another guess then Phil's logic may then be applied and tested.
