Not sure if I will be able to be there by 12:30, also need to check first where to get 8 identical bts, Will anyway put my portion in small containers similar as with the 60 vs 63 tasting. 6:00 PM or 6:30PM is fine.AHB wrote:An evening start time of 6:30pm works for me, but if you need to start earlier because of your meeting then you can organise the rest of us to start at 6pm.
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.
I will be there around 6:30 (earlier is unlikely) but there is no problem for me if you have started at 6 and I join you shortly after.AHB wrote:An evening start time of 6:30pm works for me, but if you need to start earlier because of your meeting then you can organise the rest of us to start at 6pm.

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 think my offer to help is actually making things more complicated for you. I shall busy myself elsewhere instead of being at the Bunghole at lunchtime, but if you need my help on the day then please call or text me and I shall come over as quickly as I can. I will only be a couple of tube stops away.WS1 wrote:Not sure if I will be able to be there by 12:30, also need to check first where to get 8 identical bts
Can you please be at the Bunghole early preferably for lunch? This would definitely rule out any errors during decanting and the Blinding process. Sorry I left quite a few things to the last minute due to frantic work schedule.jdaw1 wrote:I will print the placemats and make the decanter labels, and will be bringing the FG58. Given those facts, when should I arrive?
