Looks correct.

Fanastic!

Food order? Christoper: will you?

who will print?

Now looks like I can make it for around 5pm on Tuesday. I’ll print the placemats and bring them along.

Given that the placemats have the actual bottles on them, I assume we are ditching any previous idea for blinding?

JDAW - one minor amendment with the placemats. IDJ appears twice. Clearly Ian would be delighted to have two placemats of port to consume

Food order sent this evening
I will be a little late. Can anyone else print please?
Yes I think semi blind is an admin step to far!-:))
Many thanks

NickA: I’ve assumed that you are right handed, and put your initials as “NA”. Please say whether there are more initials, and if there are, what they are. Thank you.

Sorry Ian, I tried for you, but we were rumbled.

You owe me anyway!

Prompted by looking at the placements-what glassware is used/provided (any good?) and do we get to get one glass for each port?

ISO-type tasting glasses, and yes one of the reasons we use Davy's regularly is that they are able to supply sufficient glassware (in quantity, quality and cleanliness). Provided the organiser lets them know our needs in advance, they ensure they have the glassware available and ready for us; we do have one glass per port, usually.

by way of example, a previous tasting:

Nice!

Is your name Derek?!

Croft decanted at 7am. Jammy nose.

Placemats printed, see you all later. I'll get there around 5.

Taylor 1994, purchased from BBR this morning and double decanted by them around 11 this morning.

All as it should be

Graham '94 decanted 2pm; very fine sediment. Looks and smells great.

Churchill' 94 decanted 2pm; huge quantity of medium sized sediment. Slightly tired colour and smell; we shall see.

Rightly or wrongly, my bottles were decanted last night. As my meeting has finished, I should be there before 5.
