I am afraid I would have to adopt as ever due to not possessing any 66s if that is at all feasible!

Taylor and Offley are very easy to get out
Noval needs a little moving to get too
Sandeman, needs a little moving and finding

Right, first post now updated to include the list of who should be bringing what. At present nobody is supplying more than one bottle. Have assumed that we’re all happy to proceed on equal bottle costs. If we finish up with >14 bottles then extras will be team adoptions.

There are a couple of TBCs, including an adoption for Ben. Does anyone have a second bottle they are prepared to offer him for adoption? If so, suggest you arrange it directly between you and then let me know.

There are a fair few outstanding food orders as well. Could you please advise. If I don’t hear by the end of 3rd September then I’ll assume you are no longer attending.

Food order please:
Parma ham, burrata, melon, honey and chilli
sirloin steak, rare with a fried egg
Green beans and shallots
Skinny fries

[BRPetrie]

Food order for me:
No starter
Sirloin medium rare, fries, green beans & shallots

Thanks!

Sods Law: Having not been in London since January 2020 and having no foreseeable need to do so I withdrew from this tasting a couple of days ago. My employer has now deemed it necessary for me to be in London from 11th to 13th September

Perhaps I should bring a 1966 to drink in my hotel room

[DRT]

I have just noticed that there is still a spare seat. Please may I re-join?

Which bottle did Neil have me down to bring? I think I am limited to Fonseca and Warre.

Fortunately the industry guest I invited to replace you wasn’t able to accept the invitation.

I will leave the tasting organiser to advise on your request.

Yup - you're back in!

You were previously due to be bringing the Graham.
