Re: The Standard Food Order

after the slight issues with number of glasses available at the Vesuvio evening (!!) I have tweaked the default food order to now include the top line identifying the number of attendees and number of bottles and hence number of glasses required, hopefully this will assist with the issue.

Re: Is 30yo VP darker than it used to be?

Can we not just buy a spectrophotometer and spend the next 30 years obtaining the definitive answer ??
