Starter: Oak smoked salmon with beetroot, orange and horseradish.
Main: Rib eye steak rare (240g aged for 28 days) with skinny chips.
Side: Green beans with shallots.
To be asked for gluten free please. (I see I am predicatable ).
On the placemats Please can you remove the N78 and substitute an RO58.
We are a little short on 1800's so I have an unknown (believed) 1877 vintage I would like to add - This is a low shoulder bottle from the christies dec auction - so seems like a good point to open it. Can you add this?
I am on holiday at the moment so responses are sporadic..

New policy for future events. I will post that people are getting a copy of a recent order, and if different might be wanted, it will be their responsibility to check and request.

A very sensible policy.

Food order for me please: duck liver pate to start followed by rare steak with chips and green beans. Thank you
I like the idea of less fuss with food ordering so the above order can be used in future events.

Good plan. Or have a "default order" thread. As I think I've ordered the same thing for the last 4+ tastings, works for me.
And please could somebody check the placemats. (Please do command-r or control-r to force a reload to the latest version, time-stamped ≥ 19:50 Fri 01 June.)

Everything looks in order Julian.
Agree with Mike, with a couple of notes.
- Placemats all appear correct, but noting that there are discrepancies with first post which is out of date (missing replacement of N78 by RO58, and additional of ?1877; also THRA mis-spelled; Am assuming CAPRICA == VDSS is correct).
- Only possible error is that 1877 should be before 1896, rather than after (rest of order is in correct date sequence).

Sackcloth and ashes, I should have seen that: fixed.

Added, but it might be too late for his special order. Sorry. (Though people are asked to check.)

Tony: can you print on A3?
I can do an A3 print if needed.
Tony - if you need help pouring I can be there around 5.
Mike - Grateful if you can print off as I do not have an A3 printer. Help would be most welcome. Please confirm that you are able to bring A3.
In a slightly more organised parallel universe I would have transported everything up to B&F and decanted early there. Reality says I will decant at home at around 11.00 AM (the bottles have been standing for the past 5 days).
