Re: 17th May 2015: Atonal music & port drinking in New York
Five PMs have been sent, selecting six bottles. The selection of bottles is imperfectly atonal. Further, separately, there are two themes: but, atonally, each theme applies to all the bottles bar one.djewesbury wrote:Yes.jdaw1 wrote:Messages have been received fromIs that everybody?

The selection was made whilst listening to Stockhausen’s Stimmung. (This is not a clue.)
It is the best I could do with the allowed materials, and I am confident that it will suffice.

Re: 17th May 2015: Atonal music & port drinking in New York
I think we now have all the TPF members sorted for bottles.
I now want to turn to adoptions for guests. I have one guest sorted out, which leaves two still to adopt. I'd like to adopt two bottles blind on their behalf, preferably at <$50 ea. Please could anyone let me know if they can provide the necessary?

I can probably make this
I'll bring a bottle older than the oldest attendee attending.
daniel, @ the 20-30$ price range, I can spot some quevedo's if you're interested

Which might or might not overlap with another year, but whether or not it does, is splendid. JHG’s bottle is that.g-man wrote:I'll bring a bottle older than the oldest attendee attending.

Brilliant, good to hear from you g-man, and great to know you'll join us. Don't tell me any more about the bottles you have - PM JDAW so we keep it as blind as possible.g-man wrote:I can probably make this

Re: 17th May 2015: Atonal music & port drinking in New York
Guys - can we pin down the venue, please, so that I can get on with the placemats? I am going to be away a lot before I come over and would like to get these started. Also, Mark, who is providing the musical accompaniment, wants to know what the plan is.

Venue: Left Bank
Time: 5pm, 17 May
Location: 117 Perry St, New York, NY 10014; between Hudson St & Greenwich St in the West Village
Cost: ~$75/pp (including tax & tip)
I have reservations for us for 10 people, we can adjust a little if necessary as the date gets closer. JDaw1 has been sorting the wine selections for us, but if anyone still needs to adopt please let me know. We're going to be in the main dining room as private rooms were prohibitively expensive. The early time should give us an opportunity to taste the wines before dinner service gets underway. I'll get a set menu from them a few days before the event and will encourage a steak-like entree to be somewhere in there.

That's a real shame John (though obviously not from your mother's point of view - a dutiful son is a great thing ). I shall update the first post.John M wrote:My apologies but I cannot make it......Mother's B-Day celebration.
We have one fewer guest also - Brighdín is unable to join us and hence doesn't need an adoption. I'm not sure who was supplying this but I'll PM.

Hi there - if anyone has a way to contact Josh, please ask him to get in touch with me! I have emailed and sent PMs but he isn't picking them up. Need to finalise the details before I leave for NY, and only have two days left.
Thanks!
Thanks!
