This was the first placemat-free tasting, with glasses being identified with stickers. Feedback welcomed.
Umm, yes, a splendid evening with no duff bottles and every drop consumed..! Dirk was on fine form, and came very well stocked..Perhaps suggesting an adequate sufficiency of consumption.
Fine criticism and observation thank you.uncle tom wrote:Stickers for glasses works really well, except that we need one sheet of stickers person (or per two people) as we were constantly passing the sheets around and trying to find our respective labels - at one point Dirk put one of his on his forehead so he could find it later!

Indeed one sheet per person would be too much waste; but would it be possible to slot the stickers of two or three people on equal sections onto one sheet (each person has ~20 stickers)? They could be after printing cut into the portions of the individual person.jdaw1 wrote:Fine criticism and observation thank you.uncle tom wrote:Stickers for glasses works really well, except that we need one sheet of stickers person (or per two people) as we were constantly passing the sheets around and trying to find our respective labels - at one point Dirk put one of his on his forehead so he could find it later!
Problems:Other observations, criticisms, and suggestions welcome.
- At the time the PDF is made, it isn’t yet known who will be sitting next to whom.
- One sheet has 65 stickers, so one sheet per person would waste two-thirds to three-quarters of each sheet.
Oh yes it did!I was there, it did not happen!
The quantity was looking dodgy (a mere 12 bottles between 10 of us) but we were saved due to the Niepoort being in a 1l bottle and Dirk very kindly bringing a magnum of Robustus 2004 to have with dinner...jdaw1 wrote:Separately I note that exactly none of those who attended has yet been able to post to any of the threads relating to the evening.
