28 Nov 2013: The Bunghole - What
We will require a place to relax and unwind after the BBR Port Walk so will be congregating at The Bunghole with various bottles wrapped in foil and possibly the greater part of a cow on the table.

Re: 28 Nov 2013: The Bunghole - What
Questions for the attendees: we will have tasted many fine Ports at BBR. Do we need more fine Port or do we need emergency supplies? And do we need one bottle per mouth at this time in the evening?

Fine port. But in manageable quantities. Not another supermarket LBV night after a quality tasting.DRT wrote:Do we need more fine Port or do we need emergency supplies?

Re: 28 Nov 2013: The Bunghole - What
So perhaps the equivalent of half a bottle per person of not yet mature vintage port from a fine house decanted 24 hours in advance to allow it to open up?
I have a magnum of "what" that would fit the bill that I am happy to donate.

Re: 28 Nov 2013: The Bunghole - What
I have considered all the permutations of all the possibilities of what JDAW might do in response to this discussion. After careful thought I have come to the conclusion that all of those permutations result in him bringing a double magnum of "What" decanted into multiple and varied-sized bottles.djewesbury wrote:Perfect!DRT wrote:I have a magnum of "what" that would fit the bill that I am happy to donate.

Perhaps this thread should be delicately interwoven with the one about the Port Walk.
Is there an Admin in the house?

I asked because orders for food are being placed in the BBR thread. Maybe the persons discussing food there would like to do so here, then; perhaps their posts could be migrated?DRT wrote:The threads are linked but are separate because they are separate events.djewesbury wrote:Perhaps this thread should be delicately interwoven with the one about the Port Walk.

Perhaps it would be best to wait until Daniel has spoken with TBH to ensure we will still be welcome if arriving at 9-9:30pm.

Re: 28 Nov 2013: The Bunghole - What
Well the opinions canvassed at the time (see posts surrounding DRT's above) suggested that we didn't need a whole show laid on after we've already been wined by BBR.. I know I'm unlikely to have much I can bring, purely logistically..jdaw1 wrote:Was the half-bottle thing even half serious?

I am bringing a bottle that people would not expect me to own ‟What!?” and am presuming that others will do likewise.
