Messages have just been emailed to people asking for payment to be made to enable me to equalise the costs of the bottles being opened for the vertical. Please pay the requested amounts promptly as it will assure your seat at the tasting.
Many thanks.
Alex

You have given "sticky toffee Xmas pudding" to all who wanted normal vs sticky toffee version.jdaw1 wrote:∃ a current draft of the food order.
While I'm here, please switch me over to a steak, rare, please. Not sure what I was thinking.
Re: Tues Dec 13th 2016 - Noval vertical
I believe. Have been promoted from reserve to being able to attend this tasting. That being the case, may. Please have the following
Spiced carrot and parsnip soup
Roast free range Staffordshire turkey and trimmings
British cheese plate
And I shall very much look forward to seeing everyone for a lot of very lovely port.
Many thanks,
Simon

Not fixed - at least as far as it looks when I reload - it now appears to show everyone having "normal" xmas pud. Some of us want normal xmas pud, some of us want sticky toffee xmas pud.jdaw1 wrote:Thank you for checking.

Re: RE: Re: Tues Dec 13th 2016 - Noval vertical
I failed to notice the two types. Then I carelessly assumed that nobody could want anything as terrible as a ‘Sticky toffee’ variant. So, thank you for re-checking. Re-fixed — hopefully more satisfactorily.PhilW wrote:Not fixed - at least as far as it looks when I reload - it now appears to show everyone having "normal" xmas pud.

Phil's bottle of 1955 is now at the B&F.
Please could I have prawn cocktail thingy starter, sirloin steak (medium rare) and cheese for dessert.
Christian Seely is hoping to join us but does not expect to arrive before 9.30pm and hopes to be permitted to sip from whatever is left over when he arrives.

Unfortunately I missed this. I met up with Christopher on Tuesday night and we could easily have met at the B&F. Sadly neither Wednesday (ie. today) or Thursday work for me as I'm not in the UK.uncle tom wrote:I can make a trip in to drop bottles tonight, tomorrow or Thurs

Do you need any help decanting / setting up? If so I should be free in the afternoon, if not I will keep out of your way!
