Six fits on A4, seven not really. I'll rearrange the A3 so that the 1963s are separated from the others.Axel P wrote:@Julian: could you please split the two placemats into: one with the 7x 63s and one with the others. jdj?

Request to cluster the F/S/T around the Av if possible.

If you insist, but why not by age, older on left, younger on right, 63s together in the middle?Axel P wrote:Can you please arrange the wines that the 63s are on the right side and the others left.

Re: Warm-up for the BFT: Something nice from the 60s
Sten (initials SAI) is planning to take Sandeman 63 as idj asked if anyone else had a S63 to offer so he could bring something else. However, in Axel P's summary idj is noted for F66, but this is also a duplicate to forest 26's F66.
Idj, do you have other alternatives or should I ask Sten to bring something else?
I, Jorgen (initials JB) will bring Feist 63.

Re: RE: Re: Warm-up for the BFT: Something nice from the 60s
I think Axel is intended to have two separate flights, with all the 63s within one of those (in order to avoid splitting them, especially given Avery+components). This is likely why he was asking for 7+7 on separate sheets as preference.
Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: Warm-up for the BFT: Something nice from the 60s
In which case, why not three flights: older than 1963; 1963; younger than 1963?PhilW wrote:I think Axel is intended to have two separate flights, with all the 63s within one of those (in order to avoid splitting them, especially given Avery+components).
Re: Warm-up for the BFT: Something nice from the 60s
The placemats have been updated, mostly but not wholly in accordance with instructions.
Please verify the Dalva G. W. year.

Re: Warm-up for the BFT: Something nice from the 60s
Thank you.
The placemats have been updated, mostly but not wholly in accordance with instructions — and now in four flights. Axel: please confirm satisfactory.
(Date wrong, which will be fixed.)

Re: Warm-up for the BFT: Something nice from the 60s
We are currently dealing with the glass issue. Otherwise 7. The Club also could provide some which are not perfect.
Thank you, Julian, for all your work up front.

May I leave by bottle in advance at The RAF Club. To whom should it be entrusted?

Re: Warm-up for the BFT: Something nice from the 60s
We are flying in from Sweden on the morning of the tasting. We think it might be better to decant in the morning before the flight rather than mixing the sediment during the flight. We will bring the original bottle in any case. Does any of you have experience on what would be the best option?
Re: Warm-up for the BFT: Something nice from the 60s
Gentlemen,
Axel asked me to look into the glass issue and despite short notice we can hire glasses for this event (Riedel port stems). The cost split per person for 7 glasses each is 13.2£. Please confirm urgently that you are happy us using the glass service as the glasses in the RAF club are not only not good for port (bad shape/design) they are usually not usable for port due to the very efficient dish washer arrangement they have reusing used water. Without extra cleaning the glasses the port is heavily handicapped. I need to get back to the glass service swiftly as otherwise it is too late.
regards

Please open the port before you go to bed the night before your flight, let it rest overnight opened and just double decant into the bt the next morning after cleaning.JB vintage wrote: ↑12:01 Mon 30 Apr 2018 We are flying in from Sweden on the morning of the tasting.

Your call but would be my suggestion as I agree do not transport and then decant.

Re: Warm-up for the BFT: Something nice from the 60s
Hi Wolfgang; am happy with either Riedels or ISOs, and makes much more sense to pay for hire than to all be transporting glasses around everywhere. Yes from me.WS1 wrote: ↑16:08 Mon 30 Apr 2018 Gentlemen,

Re: Warm-up for the BFT: Something nice from the 60s
Glass hire gets a yes from me. Transporting own glasses has a decent probability of breaking one or more, at much greater cost than 13.20!
Re: Warm-up for the BFT: Something nice from the 60s
With only seven glasses each, pre-pouring will be impossible.
Do we free pour (which never works with more than ten people)? Do we hire some and bring some? Or do we hire the correct number?
I prefer hiring none or enough, but not just some.

Re: Warm-up for the BFT: Something nice from the 60s
Personally I would prefer to bring my 7 IVDP glasses rather than go to further (and unnecessary for me) expense in hiring. However, those that want to can do so.
Re: Warm-up for the BFT: Something nice from the 60s
JDAW is right! Currently asking if we can have 196 glasses. Cost will be higher but I think prepouring is key as otherwise will go certainly wrong. Cost estimate I think for 14 glases is 20£ a head. Alternative if people bring their own glasses is we need measure glasses to go with the decanters as otherwise it ends in a mess assuming every body potentially brings different glasses.
