Re: Getting thirsty?
I was having similar thoughts. I'm in London on Friday, if that works.

Re: Getting thirsty?
My next 2 planned visits to London are Friday 20th and Thursday 26th
I could do either of these days.

Re: Getting thirsty?
Tomorrow is a bit soon - shall we go for the 26th?
- Simple theme maybe? - Bring a bottle to share perhaps??

Re: Getting thirsty?
The date works for me, but how about a slight variation of theme to become "bring a bottle of vintage port to share"

Re: Thursday 26th - vintage port to share
Yes please. Tasting mats would be good. Could we have 3 definite attendees (you, me, Tom) and 3 spares for last minute attendees?
Thank you!

I thank counsel for my defence.

Re: Thursday 26th - vintage port to share
Recovering from 5 days without alcohol - but co-codemol and antibiotics seemed to be almost as good - I am now raring to go for Thursday. I may be late arriving (7-7:30), but my bottle was delivered to TCP on Saturday morning so is standing in their office and settling nicely.
Would the first person to arrive be kind enough to decant the bottle for me please?
Also, if we are planning on running this as a blind tasting, I did not disguise my bottle in any way so the person doing the decanting will need to hide the identity of the wine. Decanting into an empty Hildon Spring Water bottle should do the trick quite nicely!
Any last minute additions to join us at the tasting would be very welcome. Don't be shy. Either post here or just turn up on the day.
