I won’t be with you this evening, the logistics and diary just didn’t work out for me.

I will be with you in spirit since I plan to open a Warre 1969 LBV which has started to seep.

Shame, but hope you enjoy the Warre.

Well that was a remarkable tasting. I am not sure we have ever had a ten port tasting where three wines got all the points.
