I'm asking Mrs W. to update the placemats. If too late — if already printed — please say so.

Re: Mon 13 August: Emergency
If the monkey is paying attention, could he let us know what his guess(es) are for the 7 ports we have in front of us tonight for the photo launch of The Book.

Re: Mon 13 August: Emergency
I’ve been corrected, you should be voting for wine of the night before guessing what the wines are.

Re: Mon 13 August: Emergency
The general conclusion of the people sitting round the table was that the monkey needed to get out more - perhaps to a port tasting!Monkey wrote: ↑18:53 Mon 13 Aug 2018 Ah, ok, it's the easy questions first...

Re: Mon 13 August: Emergency
Monkey claims 2 points for 1970+Niepoort+Warre+Fonseca.
There are bonus points available to anyone at the annex tasting who can guess which Port Monkey is drinking.

Re: Mon 13 August: Emergency
My publicist says that this is my best picture and has asked whether or not it could appear in The Book, preferably as the Frontispiece and signed by the author?

Re: Mon 13 August: Emergency
I would hazard that Monkey is irrepressibly drinking Taylor '85.

Re: Mon 13 August: Emergency
Ah, back to the traditional "one quiz at a time" question. The monkey is clearly drinking Graham Crusted 2013 recently purchased from Sainsbury.

Re: Mon 13 August: Emergency
Graham - correct
Crusted 2013 - wrong
Sainsbury - wrong, but not far away

Re: Mon 13 August: Emergency
Given Monkey's birth it really should be Stone Terraces, though I think someone would be tightening his head band if he s trying to open those this soon...
Re: Mon 13 August: Emergency
Stone Terraces - wrong

Re: Mon 13 August: Emergency
I go back to my original point - the monkey needs to get out more!
