Can that room hold more than eight? Are we nearly full?

Vesuvio?

Yes please.

One of my bottles will be a Fortnum & Mason 2011 by Niepoort, currently costing £39.95.

The ’95 and ’06 are opened. Cork of ’95 crumbled: I want the CEO of the cork company in prison. They have vandalised too much high-value product.

I will Audouze. Others encouraged to do likewise.

It is possible that we will be joined by another first-timer. Details awaited.

Edit: Sara G., friend of Harry H.
Edit edit: she can’t.

As ever, 18:00 for 18:30, with the usual rule that a quorum shall be the number present ⟹︎ pre-6½pm start quite plausible.

Doubtless this will be a complete tasting, including all of: 1756 Hunt Roope / Tuke Holdsworth 1757 Hunt Roope / Tuke Holdsworth 1820 Newman 1840 Tuke Holdsworth ≈ Produced, perhaps sold 1846 Tuke Holdsworth ? Possibly 1847 Tuke Holdsworth 1851 Tuke Holdsworth 1858 Tuke Holdsworth 1861 Tuke Holdswor...

Currently the ’82 is being brought by Neil.

Food orders please (menu, current draft of food order).

I am checking with the guest.

Neil has already sent me his bottle prices (generous — doffs hat). Please could others do so.

Yes please.

Am I am interested, mildly. If there are more bottles than people, by such a margin that more people are wanted, then please may I join and buy my share?

I have a lake† of consistently excellent Graham 2015 ʟʙᴠ.

† A very small lake. But enough to be swum in by a sufficiently small creature.

Yes please. I think that I have absolutely nothing. (It’s a vertical; there will have to be a £ rebalancing.)

Obviously, the idea of a Stilton & Chilli Jam Topped Melton Mowbray Pork Pie is heresy, even high heresy, despite it being a Leeson pork pie . High heresy: burn her at the stake. Except that, ahem — risking my being turned into a newt — it was stunningly delicious. Perhaps even better than a reg...

Good quality recorking by the Symingtons.
