Unfortunately not for me I am away that week. TBH original suggested date was difficult too. We don't have anything after Mid in the diary for a bit thus how about early June?

Confirmation for new date, will look at bottles.

Could I please update my starter to Salmon

Thank you

Yes please, although I might suggest smaller range of years and more producers? So maybe ditch the 2019 vintage and go for flights of eight? I am most interested in trying different producers - thus I would suggest restricting it to just the 17 and 18 vintages but with 10 'new' producers? This migh...

Confirming, and very much looking forward to this

I agree 28 would be too many for one session, but would suggest around 16-18 would not be excessive for 14.

How about 89 - 05 plus the 07 and 11? if we have the 07 and 11 it might be good to include the Capela versions as well to see how these are getting on as there are no recent notes on these.

Sounds like a great evening was had!

Graham 48 just beat the Fonseca 48 (both fabulous) with Dow 55 a distant 3rd

Are you sure that Mac & Cheese is still possible?

Yes pre order only.

Any issues, substitute with pate.

Mac n Cheese
Steak - black and blue with (please, please) Béarnaise sauce, chips
Welsh rarebit

Thank you

All - to note last time we were at B&F Welsh Rarebit was only available if pre ordered!

It was a curious tasting but also one that I really enjoyed as with 2 exceptions I hadn't had any of these wines previously.

Given the reputation of the vintage and my expectations I was pleasantly surprised by the 93 Ports

AKZY - thank you for organising
