Updated draft of the placemats for Tuesday 22nd February 2011.
  • +RLC.
Please let me know which version was used (this latest, or that printed by AHB a few days ago), so that the ‘correct’ placemats can remain on my website after the tasting.

I suggest that we make it "Daily Drinkers, Which Could Include Vintage Port". If everyone brings 2 half bottles, as seemed to work very successfully last week, we could get a decent spread of styles and ports.

Why not ‟More Half Bottles”?

First draft of the placemats for Thursday 10th March 2011.
  • Header = ‟More Half Bottles”.
  • Are sticky labels (8 per A4) needed?
  • As ever, please check carefully.

I hope to make this though will not be able to confirm until tuesday/wednesday next week unfortunately.

As with previous tasting, I will need to seek dispensation from the theme and bring regular bottles as I do not own halves.

Cheers

That's fine, but I want to emphasise that it is not Vintage Port in half bottles as it was on Feb 22. March 10th is much more open, with daily drinkers a real option.

I shall bring one current (if a little obscure) ruby and one vintage port.
