Did you request that O70 and Ch94 be decanted? Did you explain that ‘we’ will be bringing a bottle of D70?
Presumably now that we have a table booked, and can therefore have something to eat, adding a single bottle with corkage (if requested) can be negotiated on the night?

I haven't had a chance to ring back with order details (e.g. the O70 and Ch94) and I presumed that they wouldn't want to open and decant these on the basis of a booking from a customer they've never heard of before. I figured they'd need payment up front for the bottles. I thought that perhaps I might negotiate this in person nearer the time. And while doing that I could also raise the subject of the corkage for the D70.

It occurs to me that since this is classified under 'informal Christmas drinks', self-certification is sufficient from DRT. Derek, can we trust you to assure us that you will be able to join us?

I was planning to bring a note from my Mum.
