Re: may 6th tasting in the UK?
okay i'll be shipping alex some mystery bottles for the event
they all shouldn't require a long decant.
Ie pop and pour so we can keep alex guessing in the dark too.

Re: may 6th tasting in the UK?
I can arrange a decanting service where the bottles are decanted about 12 hours ahead of us meeting up - but not by me. Let me know if you're interested.g-man wrote:Ie pop and pour so we can keep alex guessing in the dark too.

I would imagine the bottles i'm interested in don't need decanting.

They have a couple of decanters, but we tend to use water jugs to make decanting easy.g-man wrote:does the restaurant have decanters?

Re: may 6th tasting in the UK?
I could furnish a bottle for adoption at moderate cost, if requested..are there any other wines stores within the city with not so eye watering prices like BBR? =)

Re: may 6th tasting in the UK?
Up to you Tom, is there something in your cellar that you'd like to try? In which case I'd buy 1 less bottle to ship to mr.

8 people means that we need to relocate from the Meeting Room to one of the tunnels. I shall call The Crusting Pipe tomorrow and see if we can move.

Re: may 6th tasting in the UK?
There is a space labelled ‟Jeff”. Should I add another labelled ‟JHG”? (With Wolfgang it is already two pages.)

You were unsure of how many who was bringing. Please check most recent draft of placemats and confirm all-round happiness.g-man wrote:i thought it was to alleviate confusion from JGH =)

Re: may 6th tasting in the UK?
Ah ha,
yes, there should be 4 bottles in attendance from me.
so you can have an extra jhg circle for the 4th bottle.

Re: may 6th tasting in the UK?
no extra glass circle for the extra bottle?
btw, if we're doing blind, shouldn't the cirlces have perhaps an alphabetical name instead of our names?
Or are we doing a blind where we let other people guess what we brought?
