Quinta dos Malvedos: 22nd March 2010

[jdaw1]

Updated current draft of the placemats, now 221 sheets and 1,304,734 bytes:

• Two copies of the pre-pour sheets, in case glasses poured one place and then transferred to another. The two copies are slightly different.

When printing the placemats don’t forget to set ‟No automatic page scaling”, or equivalently to set the scaling to 100%.

First time that I booked BA and now the cancelled my flight. That demands some serious re-booking and a bottle of Delaforce 1994 to ease the stress a bit.

Would you liked to be picked up from RAF Lakenheath...I believe they have facilities there for your company vehicle!!

Thank you. This child of 1968 feels the same, caught between the fabulousness of wife and of daughter.

Hi Jacob,

apologies but can you please let me know the timeline of the tasting again? It looks like I canot find it in the thread and am worrying to be in time for the tasting. In my memory a 5:30 PM tells me something but I am not sure.


regards

The plan is to start tasting at 6pm so I suggested that participants aim to arrive at 5.45pm so we can begin on time.

Thanks for doing this, Derek. One question: I thought 1979 was being served in half bottles, too?

22nd is booked. I just got the 79 halves for 50 EUR total and will save it.

[JacobH]

Could you make sure you bring a list of who owes what, since I won't remember how much I owe you.

Certainly. Will do. (Unfortunately, the list is on my work computer so I can’t give you the figure now.)

Hi Jacob,

thanks a lot, DrDirk and I will be there.

Too late, I am afraid, by c.48 minutes...

[JacobH]

Incidentally, if anyone sees DRT, make sure to restrain him before he adds a full vertical of Graham's to the line-up...

You have, by email, a PDF of just the changes.

Decanting has started: a full vertical of Graham’s is now unlikely.

To late as you now know....the 2003 Graham's was a late addition
