Re: Wimbledon Doty: 1966 Horitzontal - Bunghole, June 27th -
Friends!
Apologies for not having posted more regularly -- I am concluding a busy week by boarding my flight to London this evening (woo woo).
A few things:
1.) Filet steak, medium rare + chips, please.
2.) Would certainly be up for splitting the Niepoort 66 -- I mean, this is a 66 horizontal after all, hard to imagine a more suitable occasion (unless a Niepoort horizontal is imminent)
3.) RAYC is it too much to hope that by now the Doty Cup has been handsomely engraved?!
4.) Oscar had mentioned possibly joining the tasting. I will reach out to him to get a sense of his status.
Look forward to seeing you all soon!

I had intended to include the Graham 69 colheita in my original post; I wasn't aware of the "investiture port" though, will look that one up.RAYC wrote:There's a rather nice G69 colheita...plus the Prince of Wales "investiture port" is pretty good if you ever come across that.PhilW wrote:For 69 we seem to be limited to TV69 and D69colheita ...

Can i confirm this is a conscious order for chips (thick-cut) as opposed to the standard fries (McD-style) that The Bunghole serves alongside steaks?Chris Doty wrote:1.) Filet steak, medium rare + chips, please.

So, thinking the Croft 66 was in a specified box, I went searching for it tonight. It was not there
Are any of the offers of adoption still available please?
Thank you.

Tom’s Rebello Valente wasn’t taken. But adopting the Fonseca would probably be better. Please let me know placemats need to be printed.

Rob, please may I take you up on this offer. Let me know by PM / Email what I owe you for this.RAYC wrote:I am currently bringing the Fonseca and jointly bringing the Dow with Phil as an extra.

Updated draft of the placemats.
- BMHR bringing the Fonseca;
- RAYC bringing the Dow;
- Resumption of international Cr66 crisis.

If you rearranged the glasses on page one you could spell the word Crofts, this sublimating your anxiety in an aesthetic form.jdaw1 wrote:Updated draft of the placemats.

Your logic is impeccable and I defer to it.jdaw1 wrote:Phil has requested the same. Currently:djewesbury wrote:If you rearranged the glasses on page one you could spell the word Crofts, this sublimating your anxiety in an aesthetic form.I favoured these qualities over spelling the name of one of the ports (why privilege that one?). If you can find a contrary consensus, it will be followed.

Re: Wimbledon Doty: 1966 Horitzontal - Bunghole, June 27th -
Any way we can arrange "D", "D,W" and "W" side by side?
Rob C.
Re: Wimbledon Doty: 1966 Horitzontal - Bunghole, June 27th -
Updated draft of the placemats.
I can get the ‟D,W” between the D and W, even though, for five glasses, I prefer /RectangularDislocation to /Diamonds. But maybe, with five beside six, I prefer the latter, as the middle rows align. Team choice between this and the previous are these placemats yet sown up?RAYC wrote:Any way we can arrange "D", "D,W" and "W" side by side?
Re: Wimbledon Doty: 1966 Horitzontal - Bunghole, June 27th -
Discussions are ongoing as to whether "Ni" joins the party. Happily that would seem to fit in with your desired outcome...

Re: Wimbledon Doty: 1966 Horitzontal - Bunghole, June 27th -
Alternatively, rather than having the DW between D and W, it could be next to both triangularly; while keeping the ports from the different producers together, this could be done as:jdaw1 wrote:Updated draft of the placemats.

.F..T. .G.GC.
Cr..O. .W..D.
.N..S. ..WD..
This would also reduced the number of glasses in the nearest row, which might help if we are eating and the room is a little CrOWDed. Of course this would be no good if a shrubbery is required.
