Tuesday 7th September - Dow Vertical at TCP

[jdaw1]

Sorry team, I can’t attend. Should I deliver my bottles to DRT?

[WS1]

Hi Alex,

thank you very much for your offer. WIll take you up on this in case I do not find a Dow 1963 in the meantime.

regards

WS1

No sooner do I post this:

Subject to confirmation from Wolfgang and Jacob, the Dow line up shown here is the final line up for Tuesday fortnight.

Than this happens:

Sorry team, I can’t attend. Should I deliver my bottles to DRT?

I suggest that if we want the D66 to be included in the line up then we should take up Julian's kind offer to still provide us with a bottle and then collectively share the cost. Any other thoughts?

[jdaw1]

I’ll regenerate the placemats today (I forgot to keep the PostScript within reach). Please confirm that this post holds the latest requirements.

[jdaw1]

Attending and wines - wines in bold are confirmed, wines in italics are available for adoption
AHB - 1958 1991, 1977, 1970, 1963

JDAW is not attending - 1977, 1970, 1966

Please confirm:

• Not JDAW’s 1966?
• JGH settling in money?
• Only years present are the following eight: ’58, ’63, ’70, ’72, ’80, ’83, ’85, ’94?
• Excluded, not worthy of your time, are ’60, ’66, ’75 (not arguing, just checking), ’77, ’91?

[jdaw1]

Updated draft of the placemats.

• Regenerated from scratch (I forgot to email myself the PostScript doh!), hopefully in compliance with previous post. Check in advance to avoid disappointment on the night.

A decision on my Dow 1966 is needed no later than 17:00 tomorrow, that being Sunday 22nd August 2010.

Please could you make your D66 available to us and let me know the cost - we don't appear to have any others available and this is certainly worth inclusion.

I am anticipating Jacob will provide the 977 from my stock but have not been able to confirm this yet. For the purposes of the placemats, please assume Jacob will provide the 1977.

Updated draft of the placemats.

• +1977 (‟JGH via AHB”);
• +1966 (‟The Team via JDAW”).

Still excluded, not worthy of your time, are ’60, ’75 (not arguing, just checking), ’91. Please confirm.

Not using Adobe Distiller revealed a very small bug in code, and the following is a note to self.

Code: Select all

				false false PaperType Orientation SetPaperSize  % Perhaps page dimensions accessed by CrossHatchingTitles or CrossHatchingSubtitles
				TitleSubtitleForms SheetNum get WithinPage get  VariesByNameTitlesSubtitlesOrnamentsDecanterLabels {dup /PaintProc get exec} {execform} ifelse
				false false PrePourPaperType PrePourOrientation SetPaperSize

Thanks for the update and for sharing the '66 with us.

I suspect that the '60 and '75 will remain absentees, but it is entirely possible the '91 would be a good candidate for a last minute entry - but I am sure that we can cope with some hand-modification to the tasting mats.

Updated draft of the placemats.

• +1991 (‟THRA”).

[Alex Bridgeman]

Some thoughts:
1) Have you thought about putting an index to your tasting mats on your website so as to make it easier to find and look at old tasting mats?
2) I don't see the 1991 Dow on the mats (but I did only look at the first couple so if you've done something clever, I may have missed it)?

But I do like the layout and font. All nice, clear and unfussy.

I learnt from last time and tried that - didn't work.

My fault, I had uploaded it to the wrong place. Try this. (When the file is moved this link will break.)

Edit: link removed as file updated and uploaded to original location.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Looks perfect. Thank you.

Looks perfect. Thank you.

I would say it looks almost perfect. The abdition of a set marked "DRT" would make it look perfect to me. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find a way of being in the vicinity of TCP on 7th September. Yet.

I'd very much like to attend this - is there is an available space?

[Alex Bridgeman]

Absolutely there is. Don't suppose you have a bottle of Dow 1991 you could bring along as your contribution? If not, we can sort one our for you to adopt.

I'll try to update when passing an apple shop. MKD: please say wether the 1991 will be yours.

I have '91 but no Dow, so I'd like to adopt. Thanks.

I'll talk to Tom tomorrow and organise something - I'll PM you over the weekend.

D91 is not a problem..

[jdaw1]

At next opportunity I will add 1991 (‟MKD via THRA”).

[Axel P]

Just received Senhora da Ribeira 08, happy to bring with me. Alex approved.
