I trust your "cross-platform compatible" pours (able to fit within exceptionally expensive and good looking 25ml glasses) will be acceptable on Wednesday.djewesbury wrote:Read as "corrected my failure to make this cross-platform compatible".PhilW wrote: Re-uploaded with no spaces in the name for fruit-branded product users:

Now, now. The beauty of compatibility is that everyone enjoys the same experience, all the time. Would you let a %20 or two get in the way of our merry confraternity?PhilW wrote:I trust your "cross-platform compatible" pours (able to fit within exceptionally expensive and good looking 25ml glasses) will be acceptable on Wednesday.djewesbury wrote:Read as "corrected my failure to make this cross-platform compatible".PhilW wrote: Re-uploaded with no spaces in the name for fruit-branded product users:

I'm so looking forward to this week. Work has been (and will continue to be for the next 8 weeks) pretty tough and I'm delighted this week has finally arrived.

Sorry everyone. I experimented with a thinner crust. It stuck to the tin. Good job we already ordered our dinner

I'll see if there's anything that can be salvaged tonight but I always hate it when the crust breaks. It was far too thin.. This is why I must make more.

Phil: I could be at Woolgate mid-afternoon, if help is needed. Is it? From when? (Edit: might have to be late afternoon — sorry.)
Do you want me to create review and TN threads?

The pork pie will be with us, but I won't make any promises regarding it. After Julian's comments elsewhere I tried to thin the crust but I think I went too far.
I am watching a man on TV explain the history of the pork pie. Michael Portillo cannot make pork pies.

Unfortunately I am only able to stay for around an hour-:(
If there is someone who really wants to go, I am happy for someone to take my place.
Phil- will pay full cost when I see you tomorrow!
Thanks

Re: Mz Vertical - 75 years of Martinez - London, 26 Nov 2014
Decanting now well under way. All bottles at Woolgate now open; in particular the '63 smells gorgeous, and the only question mark at this point may be the '70 - though not decanted yet, will see soon. Currently using the boardroom for decant until lunch clears from the brasserie; lovely port-smelling room now, getting looks from passers-by and requests for port from staff

Having paid Phil a surprise visit during my afternoon constitutional/coffee break i can attest to the gorgeous smell of the '63. The lineup looks stunning and I am certain the evening will be a success.
And so, with heavy feet and with the emerald sheen of envy i made my way back to the office...

Aargh, hope it is coming round, the first bt I had from the two was really good; was part of a lot of a 10bts of 67Mz in which 2bts were after purchase identified as 70 Mz.PhilW wrote:Decanting now well under way.

I think Davy's will sell because of our tasting more port to their vistors/clients

It was a very pleasant surprise to see you Magnus, am glad you dropped by; hopefully you'll be able to join us again in the future.
Regarding the '70, after decant it had quite a harsh smell (Magnus agreed), so I have tried a sip - tastes like the normal lovely '70 may be underneath, but a harsh funk on top - have to hope it blows off over the next few hours and reveals the port beneath.

Please put me on the end of the table - work looks like making me late.
Please post or email (phone out of battery and in meetings for next couple of hours) if you want me to bring a back-up bottle of Martinez 70 (my acquisition cost was c.£60 - other bottle from same group was good). I will check here again at 6.00

Should be across to Woolgate for around 1700/1730. Sounds like we're all set for a super evening!
