We will start ~7:00 PM in the Bell in Wendens Ambo. Please factor in cost for food and transportation of ~ 40-50£s. The offline is expected to finish ~ midnight. There will be a cab service to the Saffron Hotel from the Bell ~ Midnight. The last train towards Central London leaves Audley End station at 11:10 PM (towards Liverpool Street station).

Is anyone passing the Saffron hotel before going to the Bell and so able to pick up keys for the others? In the past AHB has, very kindly, done this for me, but I presume from the above he is no longer able to attend.

I'm still attending, but seem to have been transformed in the list from AHB to "friend of Cookie". Since both denominations describe me, I'm not in the least bit worried. There is port being served. I will be there.
Jacob - I will (try and remember to) pick up your key when I check in. Could you do me a favour and call or email the hotel to let them know this is a request from you.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
please feel free to guess; I am sure you have already a good idea who it might be. He will hopefully arrive in London Gatwick with TAP TP334.
I think I gave now enough cloes. And it is not Joseph James Forrester!
OK. Let's review the clues:
1. Someone who qualifies as a "special guest" at a port tasting
2. Initials are D.N.
3. Not Joseph James Forrester
4. Arriving on a flight from OPO (this was deduced from the flight number in the last cryptic clue)
Is it Johnny Depp?

No our special guest is not Johnny Depp! Though I am sure Johnny Depp would also make an interesting guest, but he is not. Also I am sure he would not be as qualified and knowledgable as our special guest. Have another go!

once more apologies for the confusion caused, (made a copy and paste error ). Could you please also pick D.N. key and mine up when you are there. I doubt that we will have time to check in the hotel before.
I will inform the hotel tomorrow.
regards and once more sorry

But the string ‟port” appears thirteen times on his Wikipedia page.
