Can confirm that QH80 is still available. Also now have Sandeman if needed.

Marvellous - thank you.
Re: 1980 Horizontal, Confirmed Date 23 June 2021, B&F
Please update status of this tasting.
For placemats, what bottles are coming, and brought by whom? I have promised Taylor, but might have access to others.
We should do a food order (menu). For me, please, starter = Duck liver pâté; experimental main = Beyond Meat vegan burger.

@jdaw1 - noise out of government suggests it is decreasingly likely that is going to be possible on this date. But I live in hope, for the moment.
Re: 1980 Horizontal, Confirmed Date 23 June 2021, B&F
Mockery was expected.
It is an experiment. I hope it is really good. But it might not be.

Yes, it will be. No need for mocking, it will just be grim. A dessert of gammon, egg and lard-fried chips will help you forget how bad your meal was.

Re: 1980 Horizontal, DATE TBC, B&F
Regret B&F, at short notice, now not going to be open on 23 June. I apologise for the need to rearrange yet again.
Re: 1980 Horizontal, DATE TBC, B&F
No apology required from you George. Great work on staying on the case and it will be all the better when it finally happens!winesecretary wrote: ↑15:03 Wed 09 Jun 2021 Regret B&F, at short notice, now not going to be open on 23 June. I apologise for the need to rearrange yet again.
Re: 1980 Horizontal, DATE TBC, B&F
I wonder if it was Julian’s food order that sent shockwaves through the B&F team.

Re: 1980 Horizontal, DATE TBC, B&F
Did the B&F give any indication as to why they were not going to be open on Wednesday 23rd?

@ Alex - B&F said "I am sorry but we will be closed on the 20th 21st and 23rd of June". I am sure there is a good reason but have no further detail.

Re: 1980 Horizontal, DATE TBC, B&F
I think it's something to do with the Euro 2020 - I received a marketing email from Davy's today inviting me to watch England on a TV in a Davy's Wine Bar.
I'm too busy watching cricket. Currently watching the live TV broadcast from Taunton of Somerset v Surry in a T20 match.

Re: 1980 Horizontal, DATE TBC, B&F
Think it’s unlikely to be Euro related. No home nation games on 23rd.
Julian’s food order is a more likely cause.

Re: 1980 Horizontal, DATE TBC, B&F
Apologies: another error by me. I promised, but am now unable to find, 1980 Taylor. Substituting with a Noval Nacional, in the expectation that there will be less protest than there was about the food order.
Re: 1980 Horizontal, DATE TBC, B&F
I have also unearthed Fonseca, as well as Gould Campbell.

Re: 1980 Horizontal, DATE TBC, B&F
Good news, since it seems that since my original post, I accidentally drank my F80 (I thought it was one of my F83s, but only found out on the cork once decanting...). Adoption please, if I make it off the reserve list!

Re: 1980 Horizontal, DATE TBC, B&F
I have now caught up, I think, with the emendations to everyone's allocations. I much envy jdaw1 the cellar that enables one to lose NN80, and appreciate his offering to provide it.
