If not too late could we adjust the placemats so that the 07 and 07 Capella are side by side, and the same for the two 11? (Move 05 to top right, and then the pairs below)

CPR = Charles, whose tweak is done. Is there another fix that I’m missing?

For logistical reasons, Harry and I are swapping the 1994 and 1995. I'm now bringing the 1994.

Justin and I will probably arrive around 17.00-17.30 to help set up.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

V92 double decanted at 0730, to the sound of the cat complaining about his second breakfast being delayed thereby.

Martin, thank you for organising. An evening which confirmed that 1994 Vesuvio really is all that.
