I would need to adopt a bottle if there is a orphaned one still needing a home?

Happy to take one from you Tom; Cockburn, Gould Campbell, Graham, Quarles Harris, Taylor or Warre?

Cheers

AJH

AJH - food

Mac n Cheese, Steak - rare, fries and green beans and peppercorn sauce

- so excited!!!

[BRPetrie]

I will be adopting - any bottle is fine that is available

[mcoulson]

Can I get duck pate the Sirloin (medium), + skinny fries, + green beans + peppercorn sauce

[Alex Bridgeman]

Tom - I think we need to assume that Moses (MB) is not going to make it for the tasting. He would be flying in from Boston and hasn't confirmed that he'll be able to make it over in time.

[Alex Bridgeman]

First post updated to show who is bringing what.

People who are adopting, please choose one of the bottles offered for adoption by Tom. It doesn't matter which you choose, just choose the one you'd like to be at the tasting.

[mcoulson]

Can I adopt Quarles Harris please

[uncle tom]

B&F tell me that the Duck liver pate starter is now discontinued.

As we are down to 12 by the looks it, I'll work towards a 16 bottle event, 17 if Moses makes it over.

Matching people's handles to their initials on the attendance list is a little challenging - does anyone have a cross reference spreadsheet they can email me?

I'll update the first post to have people's handles and names.

There are 5 bottles already at the B&F. 4 people are bringing nominated bottles. We require 7 more bottles to bring the total to 16.

Neil has offered Calem in addition to Fonseca.

You have offered to bring a further 6 bottles for adoption by the 7 people wanting to adopt. Perhaps Neil's Calem could be the 7th bottle needed?

[winesecretary]

I will adopt Warre if I may

winesecretary - GEAG

Tom - are you OK summarising the food orders or would you like some assistance with doing so?

[jdaw1]

Added to first post, a draft of the placemats. Somebody please check carefully.

I don’t know who is adopting what, so have entirely omitted such detail.

Please could I adopt the Cockburn’s.

[uncle tom]

Tom - are you OK summarising the food orders or would you like some assistance with doing so?

If you wouldn't mind, that would be most helpful - the B&F are chasing

As the pate has been discontinued, I will go for Mac and cheese, Medium rare steak + chips, beans and peppercorn sauce

JDAW - I will finalise the bottle list in the morning and confirm who is supplying which

[uncle tom]

So here is the list:

JDAW's lineup correct at first draft - impressed!

BBR - JMK - to decant and bring
Calem - THRA to bring on the day to be adopted by all for £50
Cockburn - THRA to bring on the day to be adopted by AJH
Dow - already at B&F - adopted by MPM
Feuerheerd - already at B&F - adopted by BRP
Fonseca – NAC to decant and bring
Gould Campbell – THRA to bring on the day to be adopted by MSC
Graham - THRA to decant and bring
Kopke - already at B&F - adopted by TC
Niepoort - CPR to decant and bring
Noval Nacional - already at B&F - adopted by all for £300

If Moses can make it, we will have one more

If anyone else would like to join us, it is not too late to squeeze in one more.

[mcoulson]

Can I get my standard food order set to

Smoked salmon
Sirloin (medium), + skinny fries, + green beans + peppercorn sauce

[jdaw1]

The draft of the placemats has been updated.

[BRPetrie]

I'll adopt Graham if I may!

[jdaw1]

I’ve sought permission from SWMBO. If granted, please could I be the 14th? Probably easiest if I pay £, rather than officially adopting a bottle.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Please check your menu choices and make sure I have not messed things up.

Not going to make tomorrow - calling it now in case someone wants to step into my place.
