My strong preference is very informal, with a G70 to compare to the G80.

Yes, yes -- my strong preference is very informal, with a G70 to compare to the G80....plus CSD to bring a G? wrapped in foil...

OK - here is a suggestion: bring a Graham's VP and DRT will bring the team bottle bags so that we taste them all blind?

Let’s be more informal. Bring a vintage port, Graham or something else. Bring it blind, or bring it sighted. But definitely bring a vintage port.

Updated draft of the placemats.
  • +CSD;
  • +CSD’s ‟G???”.
Any other revelations, whether whole or partial?

Please clarify "a"? Is that singular or plural?

It is singular, as in:
  • a bottle;
  • a double magnum;
  • a set of bottles;
  • a dozen bottles;
  • a pipe;
  • a quinta’s production over the last two centuries.
Is there anything wrong with that singular?

Chris - as mentioned somewhere up-thread, let me know if you would like to put a pre-order in for the rib-eye on the bone. Deadline for confirmation with TCP is tomorrow morning.

All - assuming we stay at 6, I think that means we can squeeze into the board room.

Consider it done. When do you need the email by?

It might be that items in your corporate cache expire after a day. So if the file has not been updated that recently before printing, you might be OK. Might.

I think it would be tempting fate to print before Sunday afternoon! Therefore, any time before 4.30/5.00 p.m. on Sunday (both for this tasting and the FG/F tasting).

I note that the Crusting Pipe closes at 10pm on a Sunday. This may be a Good Thing, considering what we have planed for Monday, but it might be worth bearing in mind.

But there are other places open late on a Sunday.

Hmm...I think you mean the other one... His fondness for Vintage Port is, as yet, undetermined... :roll:

Additional troops noted, as such I will try and add a second bottle of Claret in my luggage for us to enjoy with our charred flesh.
