The diary is under-populated; I have available a four-pack of the Quevedo closure experiment. So, Wednesday 25th February 2026 there will be the Quevedo four-pack, and others are to bring sighted something (not everybody to bring non-port).

You know of the dining menu at Davy’s Boot & Flogger. You know the tasting process. You know what to do. Do it.

Unlikely to make the date. Will be interested to hear how it goes.

But nowhere in your theme was there a ban on us bring one tasting pack each. Indeed, the two stipulations were "sighted somethings" and "not everybody to bring non-port".

A closure tasting pack seems to meet both requirements.

Just pointing out the obvious... 88)

You are quite correct. My reply, slightly, argued with something not said.

But so have you. Despite you suggestion to the contrary — not quite unambiguously said, but suggested — I have not further constrained what others are to bring. However, my two typos are regretted.
