Axel: please check thoroughly: ports; people; headers everything.
Thursday is the deadline: it will be too late to change the placemats on Friday.

Axel: I vaguely recall you asking me to add a bottle. But I can’t find the message: please remind me.

I have added, at the suggestion of AHB, some bottle labels: see the last two pages of www.jdawiseman.com/port/20100514.pdf. These are meant to be printed onto labels, which can then be affixed to unlabelled bottles. If your A4 label sheets are different to mine, please send the specification of yours.

Julian, thanks again. Everything printed and formatwise excellent.

I will bring the 63 Casa do Douro Colheita to the tasting as a starter, but since it is not really part of the tasting I believe it is not worth fitting into the placemats.

Cross your fingers that the Crasto 78 arrives in time.

Including the last two pages onto labels? Great.
