The advance order went in on Monday. I’ll try to add your food order and Julian’s carrots on the day.
I have requested several ice buckets.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Circle order modification suggestion; if you were to swap the D63-TCz and Ck63 on the first sheet, and on the second sheet rotate the positions clockwise by one step (or just the Df66->G70, G70->Ck70, Ck70->Df66), this would keep the 66s and 70s clustered (rather than vertical) while allowing the Ck63/67/70 to appear as a horizontal set.
Re: Monday 25th July - Bring a Port from 1960–1970
I set PackingNestingColumnMajor to true, which also keeps the D63s adjacent on the TN sheets.
But I also like your suggestion: will do.

Noval 1966 decanted 0845, left to sit for half an hour, and put in a screwcap for travel purposes, Cork came out cleanly, branded 'Berry Brothers and Rudd Ltd Quinta do Noval 1966'. QA sample very promising.

My Eta 6pm.
Re: Monday 25th July - Bring a Port from 1960–1970
Ck63 decanted at 1300. Very high fill bottle, colour good, QC sample all good.
Re: Monday 25th July - Bring a Port from 1960–1970
Now very very envious. What a glorious line-up.
Oh well, another glass of unspecified vinho tinto beckons…

My ETA approx. 17.00. I will amend our food order to include JDAW's carrots and CPR's meal when I arrive.
Ramos Pinto 1970 decanted at 14.00 (sadly with no chance to Audouze it first) and returned to the original bottle at 14.30. All seemed to be in order (and was delicious) when decanted.
I'll start pre-pouring when I arrive. Anyone who can arrive a little earlier would be welcome.

I will print place mats now and aim to be there about 1730
Re: Monday 25th July - Bring a Port from 1960–1970
Df66 single decanted at 1pm (couldn’t locate a suitable cork bagging bag and so not double decanted). Looking rather tertiary but not taste tested. ETA 6.30pm ish.

That was a truly splendid evening, with number of ports of very great pleasure. I very much enjoyed Alan and Tony's very slightly differing bottles of D63 from the same case. Bottle variation is real...
