Please check. And, unusually, please check the cork-display page, as only that page credits the sources of bottles.

I am not certain whether the Df58 is in fact from Wolfgang or Tom's stash; I paid Tom for it on Wolfgang's instruction, but it may have come from either of them, and either could have transported it to TBH - I know nothing! Wolfgang should be able to clarify bottle-source for us.

It sounds as though you don't need my help on Tuesday, but I will join you anyway and lend a hand where I can. I will aim to arrive around 12:30 and will start decanting when I arrive. I will need to leave a little before 1:30pm to make my next appointment so will have to miss out on lunch.

Sample bottles need to be distributed by Julian to certain attendees to allow them to take a sample from the bottle(s) they are bringing to the 97 Maturity Assessment on 16 June (said bottles to be decanted the previous evening where possible). Sample bottles distributed as follows:
  Julian - keeps 1 at home for his Vau DM
  Alex - gets 1 for the Martinez
  Ian - gets 3 for the Dow, Ferreira and Ramos Pinto
  Tom - gets 2 for CrR and Vesuvio
  Julian - leaves a further 14 at TBH. MPM will collect 7. The remaining 7 will be used on the night of the 16th.

• I could bring PX sherry: one was for Glenn; one for Daniel; one is available.
• Ian: am I bringing more O07 LBV for you?
