Re: Sunday 3rd April, 2011 - Crusting Pipe
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...
Re: Sunday 3rd April, 2011 - Crusting Pipe
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?

Re: Sunday 3rd April, 2011 - Crusting Pipe
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.

It is singular, as in:DRT wrote:Please clarify "a"? Is that singular or plural?
- a bottle;
- a double magnum;
- a set of bottles;
- a dozen bottles;
- a pipe;
- a quinta’s production over the last two centuries.

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.

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.RAYC wrote:Can do, but internet cache problems mean i require .pdf version by email.
Re: Sunday 3rd April, 2011 - Crusting Pipe
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).DRT wrote:Consider it done. When do you need the email by?

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.JacobH wrote: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.

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.
