Re: Tuesday 18th Feb 2014 - A Half-term Thirst
Mission accomplished with the decanting of bottle #1 and bottle #2. One cork out 100% but with a half split near the bottom which I thought made it a little risky to put it back in. The other cork three quarters out with the remaining quarter in a million pieces. And as I write this I realise I have...

Re: 8 Apr 2014 in Belfast + another evening?
A return to the homeland...I could be tempted! Bit far away yet to know if the diary will accommodate. Will try and firm up one way or another a few weeks before the event.

Re: Tuesday 18th Feb 2014 - A Half-term Thirst
OK - need some advice from the masters... Have bottles standing, planning to decant in the morning and bring with me to work. Never taken a decanted bottle on a journey before, so once I've double decanted, can I just put the cork back in? What happens if the cork broke on the way out? Bung the bott...
