Confirmed (though I can't stay overnight, so will need to leave by 9pm).
Assuming in, food order please:
- Starter: Smoked salmon
- Main: Sirloin medium-rare, chips, Bearnaise sauce
Would be very happy to upgrade steak to share of a m-r Club Sirloin if there were any takers.

Hopefully it will be better than the truly awful bottle of 91 I brought to that horizontal.Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑20:57 Mon 28 Mar 2022 The Cockburn Canais 1992 has been stood upright to settle.

If we end up with a drop-out, OJW may be available that evening.

Hopefully I will have a 92 Gilbert Vintage Port arriving on Monday, if all looks good, please can I bring a bottle?

I can open V and CkC Tuesday morning and decant at 18.00 Tuesday evening. Is that what you have in mind?

My plan for the ChAA was to open and decant Tuesday evening. Am willing to do as you propose.Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑16:49 Sun 03 Apr 2022I can open V and CkC Tuesday morning and decant at 18.00 Tuesday evening. Is that what you have in mind?
Do others have a preference?

I am off to Jersey in the morning. The Malvedos will be delivered to the B&F on Tuesday by OJW. @jdaw1 - feel free to instruct the B&F on decanting times, otherwise it will be Wed morning.
Re: Wed 06 April 2022, Horizontal of 1992s, B&F
My bottles have been stood up for a week or so. Will be decanted Tuesday evening.

On Wednesday I am bringing two bottles of 1992 Vintage Port, 13 bottles of olive oil (for DRL) and a Graham’s bottle bag (for JDAW).
Have I forgotten anything?

I am bringing ChAA92 for the tasting, three bottles of TV70 for Tom, and three sash window tighteners. Have I forgotten anything?

Unfortunately I have been unable to locate the Passadouro - thus this is a no show. Julian assures me we wont go thirsty

My two bottles for tomorrow night have been opened and are now getting used to a bit of air exposure.
The cork on the CkC fragmented into a million pieces despite the use of the cork pusher. Before opening the V I very gently steamed the neck of the bottle where the glass is in contact with the cork — being very careful not to heat the Port. A gentle push with the pusher and the cork came out in one piece.

I think Phil is also planning to come, albeit only until 9pm, and isn’t currently on the placemat.
