No response from Ralph so I'm opening up his space. This is potentially for a guest - awaiting confirmation.

Indeed, The Book’s mentions of Mayor Sworder are in Df77 and W77, so I had no evidence of them at all as a bottler.

Please, evidential photos. Label, capsule, cork: usual business.

Hi,

sorry for being quiet about this tasting, but I was a month off touring the continent. :D
Now back in Blighty I am happy to confirm my attendance with a Warre 1958. Looking fwd seeing you guys again!

Just confirming final details of who is supplying what. Hope to have this sorted today.

Any volunteers for 1966 & 1975? I can supply both if necessary, but would prefer not to.

Also, does anyone have the 1950? This is the only obvious vintage we're currently missing.

We also have confirmed guests - Anthony & William Symington - who are bringing the 77 in Tappit Hen.

Hi,

am now confused, can you please confirm I am part of the tasting? You last post and lack of any e-mail and message suggest otherwise.

Wolfgang - yes, you're part of the tasting. Sent you an email earlier today asking for details and price of the 58 you've offered.

Although there might be a problem with the email system on TPF, so you might not have received it...

Neil,

thanks! Great! Just sent you a mail directly. The e-mails on the TPF system seem not to work.

Right, bottles and associated suppliers now all known - top post has been updated accordingly.
I'll produce a statement of account and let everyone know what they owe or might receive. Per head cost is approximately £200.

Now onto food...
Will check with B&F re menu and post what's available.

B&F have supplied their current menu:
B&F Menu 27Sep21.JPG
B&F Menu 27Sep21.JPG (76.04 KiB) Viewed 10553 times

Gary (the Manager) is trying to source alternative steaks - he'll try and let me know tomorrow.

As the menu has changed I'm ignoring any previous saved orders.

Please let me know ASAP what you want - starter / main + any sides / dessert.

I'd like to get the order in by the end of this week.
