okay i'll be shipping alex some mystery bottles for the event ;-)

they all shouldn't require a long decant.

Ie pop and pour so we can keep alex guessing in the dark too.

Presumably those being brought by JHG, SYG and EY. Or are more glass spaces needed?

I can arrange a decanting service where the bottles are decanted about 12 hours ahead of us meeting up - but not by me. Let me know if you're interested.

does the restaurant have decanters?

I would imagine the bottles i'm interested in don't need decanting.

They have a couple of decanters, but we tend to use water jugs to make decanting easy.

Up to you Tom, is there something in your cellar that you'd like to try? In which case I'd buy 1 less bottle to ship to mr. Al B.

I’d better add a double-magnum of Sandeman 1897 to the placemats.

8 people means that we need to relocate from the Meeting Room to one of the tunnels. I shall call The Crusting Pipe tomorrow and see if we can move.

There is a space labelled ‟Jeff”. Should I add another labelled ‟JHG”? (With Wolfgang it is already two pages.)

You were unsure of how many who was bringing. Please check most recent draft of placemats and confirm all-round happiness.

no extra glass circle for the extra bottle?

btw, if we're doing blind, shouldn't the cirlces have perhaps an alphabetical name instead of our names?

Or are we doing a blind where we let other people guess what we brought?
