Re: New York again, Easter
Placemats updated to include Lupulo , and assuming bottles as: 1955 Daniel J.; 1960 1963 1966 Chris D.; 1970 1977 1983 1994 Miguel S.; 1985 Jay H.

Re: New York again, Easter
I am a reciprocal member of the Players' Club and the Down Town Association and I've enquired of both of these whether it's possible for reciprocal members to book private rooms, and if so, what the terms might be.
Will advise what reply I receive.

Re: New York again, Easter
@jdaw1, thanks much for your placemats and for finding out / knowing first names etc. Very much appreciated. Do we have any further advance on a venue? If Graham is the theme I have 85 or 94, but I also have a 55 which is the last of a small batch that have drunk wonderfully in the last couple of ye...

Annoyingly, I can't go. I have my last class that day, and I'm introducing a film in the film festival next day. Agghh. Nightmare. So that takes you out of any tasting on Thursday 21st as well, which I think we were lining up to be a GC vertical? Yeah, I'll have to get back on this one. It's just i...

Cr70 always has low levels in my experience but I've only had a few leakers. It's always good.

Re: Wed 24th of February 2016 Vesuvio tasting
Apologies everyone. Now that I finally have my full timetable for this semester I have to drop out of this tasting - it's absolutely impossible for me I'm afraid. Sorry also for the late notice.

Re: Port and literature
Presentation and performance is everything. Hard to do with a spreadsheet; I spent all yesterday filling a big one in the hope that the number in the bottom right would be the number we started with (it wasn't, but that was sort of the point). Get away with your spreadsheets.
