Re: With the Graham Stone Terraces 2011
As the date in question is my 52nd birthday I think I should be one of the 2 friends invited. I also notice thatr while invited friends are to keep you out of mischief, there is no mention of any restrictions on mischief making by friends. Sounds like fun!

2011 Taylor Just ordered an Imperial en primeur. Not sure who is going to drink it, as it will not really be ready for another 30-40 years or so. Have you children? That’s a fantastic thing to inherit, or be given, to drink when it has 40-60 years on the clock. Just one child - a college aged daugh...
