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.
Yup - you're back in!
You were previously due to be bringing the Graham.
Julian is meant to be bringing the Fonseca, but apparently also has Graham. You could swap provision possibly? Will leave you to arrange, just let me know the outcome.

No starter. Medium-rare steak with skinny fries and green beans. Same savoury as Julian. No desert.

May I please go on the reserves for this - much obliged
Done.
...and now off the bench.
Ben - could you advise re potential contributions.
I am afraid I would have to adopt as ever due to not possessing any 66s if that is at all feasible!
Zak - appears that IDJ, CPR and MSC all have bottles that are potentially available and not yet commited to the tasting. Unless you've already arranged something, suggest you might want to make contact?

Hi all - I have contacted Tony and others. Alex is potentially able to offer me a bottle but as it is his last would rather accept other options. Hope to have this sorted in next day or so.

Please ask Chris to be on standby. For reasons beyond my control there is an increasing risk my trip to London will be cancelled. I will know by Monday morning at the latest.

Thank you for the reprimand, and for its gentleness.
Believed fixed. Except:
• Awaiting news of DRT’s presence (his Fonseca currently being omitted, as his presence guessed to be unlikely);
• Awaiting news of CSD’s bottle.
