Hi
Can I please be added to the wait list. There was a request to add me in January from AHB but I don't appear to be on the list.
Many thanks

I re-ignited this thread

as it's now just over two months to go. No need for further reconfirmations of attendance although last time around no reconfirmations were received from Ben and Chris D and so if these are not received a week from now then we will work our way down the reserve list

Thanks

Whilst I appreciate the literary endeavors of my forumchums, you're all wrong. and anyway meant to guess only AT (@) the tasting (sort of as incentive to make it our greatest tasting yet,}

befitting the untimely demise of what was once my most reliable source of vp value, not only in 70, but Harder years like 77, 80, 83, 85, 91, 97 and 03. Now it is quevedo or 35+ years old (86sqvp is 31!?)

First post now edited to confirm the attendees and bottles allocated (all of those who have bottles allocated have been contacted although a couple of confirmations are still outstanding-you know who you are!).

No success on the Industry Guest front but it does mean that all on the waiting list (who have also been contacted) now have a berth and we are up to full complement. In terms of logistics, I'd welcome thoughts about whether bottles should be brought to the B&F and decanted there or whether to leave it the individuals concerned to bring decanted bottles (where possible)? Unfortunately, I won't be able to help with any decanting at the B&F as I have a meeting that day and unlikely to be there before 6.30pm and so if this is the preferred route (even in part), it will require volunteers... Bottles would needd to be rested at the B&F beforehand (next week's tasting provides the opportunity for some).

There are costs associated with this tasting which I will confirm by PM once all have advised their costs.

Post by **flash_uk** » 16:02 Wed 20 Sep 2017

Sounds good Ian. Not sure yet what is happening on the 10th for me, so will need to wait until nearer the time to figure out if I can help with set up, or will need to deposit the bottle early or bring it on the night decanted.

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 16:56 Thu 21 Sep 2017

I would recommend leaving bottles at B&F and decanting on the day. Bottle seem to show better when we do this.

I'll bring my bottles to the B&F on Sep 28th.

I can spend a couple of hours at lunchtime decanting bottles which have been left in advance. That should be enough time to double-decant everything leaving us only with the challenge of finding the time to pre-pour (which requires about 60-90 minutes immediately prior to the start).

forest26 · Post by **forest26** » 13:59 Fri 22 Sep 2017

Can I please send my 2 GC bottles to someone who is going on the 28th and can leave them at the B&F for me.
Cheers

Ben, Alex, thanks-I'm likely to be bringing four bottles already on Thursday (including a mag) and so another two would prove difficult for me.

Incidentally, first post now updated.

The majority of bottles for this tasting were deposited at the B&F last week (the glasses order was also confirmed). Can I ask that the remaining bottles be deposited before the tasting please?

I now need to compile the food order (any volunteers to assist me with this?) and so can I ask these to be posted within this thread and by this weekend if at all possible (if someone can do the honours of replicating or linking to the menu that would be appreciated!).

Am now going to start sending out by e-mail or PM confirmation of costs.

idj123 · Post by **idj123** » 12:44 Mon 02 Oct 2017

Oh and CAN someone look to update the placemats please (JDAW?)

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 12:46 Mon 02 Oct 2017

My usual food order please - no starter, medium rare sirloin steak with chips, dessert (if any) decided on the night.

CMAG would like Cornish Crab salad as starter, followed by medium rare sirloin steak with chips.

I should be able to get there a little early to help with pouring, so can also bring the printed placemats.

Thank you for checking.

Also, please:
• Duck liver pâté;

Only a couple of (potential) food orders to go (you know who you are-Tom!) and so this should be ready to go by the weekend. Most of the bottles now deposited at the B&F and thanks to those that have offered to decant and pre-pour. I should now be able to help with the latter as the work commitment has dematerialised and so I hope to be there before 5pm.

Details of the costs (credits and debits) are being circulated and thank-you to those that have already paid.

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 12:45 Thu 05 Oct 2017

If Tom doesn't provide his order, order him pate to start and steam (medium rare) as his main.

Doggett · Post by **Doggett** » 16:41 Thu 05 Oct 2017

No food for me on this occasion thank you. But I have arranged for childcare, so I shall be at the B&F from about 2.30pm to help decant, pour and set up. I will also be dropping the 1983 GC in earlier in the day.

Post by **flash_uk** » 10:23 Fri 06 Oct 2017

Could someone please make a quick check of the food order. I have ordered the same as me for CSD, and will update if he advises he wants something different. And if he can't make it, then RLC is in play and this is also what he would like to order.

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 11:46 Fri 06 Oct 2017

Food order looks sensible, but I haven't matched it off against the posts above.

My only question is about the strike through of the "no egg" on Ian's order - could that confuse the kitchen resulting in them not knowing whether to include it or not?

That's unfortunate. Our reserve (Ray) is already in and so is there anyone else that wishes to attend at this 11th hour?

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 07:28 Tue 10 Oct 2017

To facilitate decanting and pre-pouring, I've just printed the neck tags, cork display sheets and pre-pour sheets so — whoever is printing — please save yourself some weight and only print the voting sheets, placemats and tasting note sheets.
