Re: Tues 5 May, The Best of the Fonseca Bicentennial Tasting
Any ideas who we could invite from the industry? Always likely they will have things lined up before the BFT of course. Perhaps Dirk? I don't have his contact details - could someone else ask the question?

Great stuff - thank you. I think Derek is also bringing an additional 70, but let's leave the placemat update until nearer the time once all the bottles are sorted.jdaw1 wrote:Ignored. Draft placemats added to the first post.jdaw1 wrote:When you choose who is bringing what, I’ll draft placemats.
