may 6th tasting in the UK?

New page, so link added for convenience: draft of the placemats.

no extra glass circle for the extra bottle?

Sure. But do explain.

btw, if we're doing blind, shouldn't the cirlces have perhaps an alphabetical name instead of our names?

Or are we doing a blind where we let other people guess what we brought?

Usual practice has been to wrap double-decanted bottles in tin foil prior to arrival. (Or somebody can bring foil for you to do before people see bottles.)

Yes, we have 9 bottles for 8 people and 8 circles for 8 glasses is the assumption.

Yes, we have 9 bottles for 8 people

So usual practice would be for each of the eight people to have nine glasses. Hence nine circles.

Updated draft of the placemats.

• +Sticky labels for the bottles. Or would people prefer two, so that bottles are labelled on both sides?

[g-man]

Perhaps the link I'm clicking is out of date, but I only see 8 circles =)

[jdaw1]

I see nine when using the link in the thread. Can you clear your cache to force a re-download? Or copy-paste the link, enter, and do something like control-alt-shift-return?

With 7 of us, we have been moved to one of the tunnels tonight. We have the tunnel available from 5pm (and will be welcomed whenever we arrive).

There is a Tesco Metro a few minutes walk from The Crusting Pipe where I shall be buying my foil to wrap the bottles. I have not decanted yet and will do so once I reach TCP. That should give my wine up to 5 hours to breathe over the course of the evening. I have funnel and filter paper for late decanters.

Wolfgang - if you let us know what you would like to eat, we can order it for you so that it is ready at 7pm.

Sorry to hear that; hopefully we'll see you at the next get together.
