Small edit needed - the G63 is saying Graham 60 on the circle. Did you intentionally omit initials on the circles ?

G63: oops, thank you. Initials were fixed in version of 11:50.

And thank you for checking.

And changed to be a mixture of 6- and 5-pointed stars.

Sorry, my presumption was because I had forgotten the clue (in a Bayesian sense):

Could the default food order be updated so that my starter is Duck Liver Pate.

Thanks

A friend from the Port trade is going to be in the area at another event on the night of this tasting and intends joining us after dinner. I am therefore taking an executive decision to break the normal "14 Max" rule and we will be pouring 15 glasses from each bottle.

As compensation to the team I am adding a Fonseca 1970 to the line-up to ensure no one goes thirsty.

JDAW, please adjust the tasting mats to include "Fonseca 1970 - DRT" and an extra set for "Industry Guest". Thanks.

You might wish to specify whether a withdrawal would pull as back to 14 — that is, not be replaced by somebody on the reserve list.

A gentleman and a scholar.

The food order has been submitted.

I cannot print.

I will be at the B&F from around 5pm. If bottles can be delivered before then I will happily decant, if not please bring double-decanted and ready to pour. As we have 15 glasses to pour from each bottle we will have to pre-pour and serve by the glass.

I look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday.
