Shall I do the printing ?

mcoulson

So this was interesting, under guidance from Harry I left this in my fridge at home for 12 hours before removing it at 3pm and travelling with it in an insulated bag to The B&F Then at 5:30 it got opened, strained into a decanter left for 5 mins and then split across 12 glasses Initially it was ...

Top man Neil .. excellent evening ...

mcoulson

ok - it's too late to change your mind and bring a 1960 produced by Unobtainium as I've printed the placemats !

mcoulson

Can I bring Josh along please?

Josh would be a swap out for Mike not being able to attend

mcoulson

Well there are a lot worse things you could do on a Saturday night than deal with a decanter of V90 within close proximity.

If I have learnt anything from this group it is that opening port can never be 'an error'

I'll share that with you with a Welsh rabbit for starters please

I'll bring a bottle of 1952

Picture is very nice .. cellar is excellent ... Only issue I can find is your clearly running out of port and wine as I can find at least 9 empty slots in the picture.

I would advise buying more port immediately to avoid a disaster !!

Will probably continue to buy 66s when they're good value but unlikely to actively seek them out.

I agree with that lot ... WOTN for me was the company which as always was brilliant

mcoulson

It appears to be working

Mandy says it's looks like it's resting quite nicely, in fact she says that it might even be asleep

Can you bring me the cork next week ??

Looks a lot like a champagne cork
