Re: Thursday 16th December - The Unknown Shipper & His Peculiar Friends
A thoroughly enjoyable evening, with excellent company and a fine range of ports, as well as delicious salmon, steak, and cheese selection; my thanks for organising to Tom and Alex, particularly since Alex was unable to join us. If anyone happens to find they have my (rather limited) tasting note sheets, please email or WhatsApp me a copy, otherwise I have to assume they are lost to the mists of time (no great loss really!). Would be interested to see the voting sheet if we have a copy still, as I think I was engrossed with other conversation and/or was tonging Harry's extra bottle, so I only heard about 1st place and would be interested to see how the rest of the votes went. Cheers all for a memorable evening.

A most satisfactory evening, now all cleared up and put away - no errant TN sheets found I'm afraid.
The first time (I think) we've had a submariner amongst us - this glorious little monologue never grows stale:

Must try to remember to get stickers for glasses printed on more easily removed paper - this year's ones required a lot of scraping and acetone to get them clean!

That was my first Unknown Shipper since the move to the White Horse, and was a splendid evening. Thank you Tom for hosting; Alex for arranging; and all for bringing lovely and fascinating bottles.
Just an ordinary Thursday: a small horizontal of 1920s. Excellent declaration; accumulate.

One possibility would be small Post-it Index Sticky Notes, with neighbours having different colours.
Whatever the answer, please let me know the choice.

Could someone check the listing above, and could George remind me what his Madiera offering was, and I think #10 was a second bottle from Harry?

IIRC, Ottos uses those. However there seems to be self adhesive - and really self adhesive, for those who worry about price tags being switched.One possibility would be small Post-it Index Sticky Notes, with neighbours having different colours.
I'm not up to speed on the difference, technically, but a source for the humbler variant is desirable..

A splendid evening. Tom as always a huge thank you to you and the team at the White Horse for hosting us and organising our modest steaks

I have miraculously preserved my tasting notes from the evening, but upon review I am not sure they are worthy of transcription. Sample, Harry's T20- 'Red. Perfect condition. God, this might be even better than the G20. Utterly lovely wine. Still muscular.'
