Thursday, January 2nd, London, "Bring a bottle to share"
DrDirk will be in London on Thursday January 2nd and would like to have some port in good company. If the Bunghole is open it will be the likely venue for this gathering. Start time ~6:00 PM. Please let me know if anyone happens to be around London and would care to meet to beat the New Year Blues...

Lovely idea...however...my attendance is unlikely so please do not include me in the main but I may be able to pop in very late as I transit London that evening.

I think blind is a good idea, since funjdaw1 wrote:I won’t know whether available until late that day.

WPS: should I bring your six-pack of O07 LBV ¾L? Actually, I will, unless you instruct to the contrary.

Dr Dirk and I have started. JDAW is yummy.

JDAW is, or rather was, Warre 1966. Yummy. And WOTN.
