Yes please Tom.

All being well with the intended train I should be with you about 5pm. Like Tony, I might have to be strict with time of leaving given the frequency of the trains this evening.

Yes, Merry Christmas Daniel and to one and all!

I have a bottle of V90 set aside for the purposes of this tasting.

Sounds like Cliff and Julian will have shared 6 bottles of Port before the rest of us arrive! For my own part, my eta will be about 5.30pm currently and I will be accompanied by a bottle of fortified wine.

Starter-pigs in blankets
Main-steak (M-R), fries and green beans
Dessert-super cheesy Welsh Rarebit

Thanks!

Yes, chapeau Ales/Tom

Yes please Alex if we could upsize the cab.

Looking down the list, I think Bomfim and Madalena need to be added.

Still the 2010 at my local Asda (for £22).

I will copy Alex on the starter front and have pigs in blankets followed by the sirloin steak and fries with red cabbage.
Thanks

I should be available.

No, sorry, it is becoming a bit of an expedition to get into Town these days and so once in a week is quite enough!

Could you put me down as a reserve please Neil?
Thanks

Bottles decanted in accordance with Julian’s directions. No taste test but colour (of both) suggests fully mature VP. ETA a little earlier than normal at around 5.35pm all being well.

Apologies for the delay (been on hols) but my food order reverts to my usual:
Mac n cheese
Steak (M-R) and fries with green beans

Thanks

All these new potential dates work for me.

Unless my eyes mistake me I notice that the Cr85 is absent from the line up? It appears to be available on the retail market for £55. Should I group purchase?

Please can people bring: AHB : Cr45; NAC : Cr47; PW : Cr55; CPR : Cr50, Cr60, Cr70, Cr75, Cr03; MC : Cr63; MPM : Cr82; GEAG : Cr91, Cr00, Cr11; ZDR : Cr94; IDJ or MPM : Cr66, Cr77. That’s sixteen bottles, between likely, thirteen of us. Alex: you sent me a message about the ’45, which I have lost. ...

Apologies for my tardiness Zak but just to reconfirm that I will be attending along with a bottle of Quinoa do Mourao 30 year Tawny (plus I will have Tony’s bottle-above).

As for food order:
Truffle Mac n cheese
Steak mushroom and claret pie with fries (looks like it comes with green beans)

Thanks!

Selfishly, I would prefer 17 October, as it’s half term the following week and I’m not about. However, this date hasn’t been offered up and so I suspect does not suit others.

Yes, fine for this revised date. Will contact regarding bottle and pricing.

Yes please. Will check bottles.

Apologies, been away:

Mac and cheese
Steak (m-r) fries and green beans

Thanks

Confirmed. Thanks Alex (and Tom).
