They managed OK with the recent mature LNV/SQVP tasting, including blinding...

I could be at the B&F just after 4pm if that helps?

See previous page (but skinny chips please)...

For me:
Duck liver pate, Rib eye steak + peppercorn sauce

Food order started. For those new to this, I remind you of how it works: if you don’t check whether your food order is correct, and it’s wrong, that is your fault not mine. Please do check.

Thank you, it does.

I could also be at the B&F around 4pm, or perhaps a little earlier if better.

Thank you. I’ll aim to be there at 15:30.

Please could I have no starter, special order sirloin on the bone cooked medium rare with skinny fries and a side of beans. No desert.

Splendid. If you are going to notice others’ spelling, we can notice your apostrophes. Henceforth you are thread-182 eligible.

I thought I already made that thread a long time ago.

Hi,

apologies for the delay; I would like to have Welsh Rarebit (extra cheesy) as starter and Medium-rare Rib-eye steak with peppercorn sauce and skinny fries for main.

regards

Food order updated.

Looks good once you add green beans for me

Apologies, I am now unable to attend. Please give my seat to someone on the waiting list.

Waitlist empty: a slot for a guest; or just thirteen of us.

I’m declaring there to be a team adoption of the Constantino from Tom. Tom: pls send me £ information.

Tom has sent. Executive decision: we are adopting.

Perfect.

Has anybody heard from Cookie in ages? Please could somebody able to contact him (I have tried in several channels) please remind him of Tuesday, that two food orders are overdue, and to agree adoptions.

Please could those who have deposited 1963s at the B&F reveal what’s there. Who was deposited what?

I have deposited Graham and Warre 63

From the other thread it sounds as though the Cr63 delivered to the B&F for the '63 tasting has been drunk (at the '22 tasting last week). Unfortunately I do not have one to offer, but if possible can we locate a replacement as it would be a shame for the Croft not to be present to compare with the other primary shippers?

I am back in and bringing a Cr63

I will be dropping off the Cr63 tomorrow around lunchtime.

I am available for whatever duties need to be performed on Tuesday. Someone please give me my orders.

For CPR and DRL: thank you.

DRT wrote: ↑19:57 Sun 08 Apr 2018I will be dropping off the Cr63 tomorrow around lunchtime.

For DRT: thank you.

I’m bringing Taylor, Ramos Pinto and Niepoort (for JDAW, AP, WG).

Tom is bringing Noval and Constantino (THRA, MPM).

Ian is bringing Offley and Cálem (both for himself, double thanks).

Wolfgang S. is bringing Cockburn (WPS).

Phil is bringing Fonseca.

Which total twelve bottles.

Now it gets trickier, because we haven’t heard from Cookie in ages. A team decision would be welcome.

Alex is bringing Mackenzie and Dow (AHB and KHM).

Cookie said he would bring Sandeman (RLC).

Asking Alex to bring both doesn’t quite solve the problem, because he would decant with our knowing about Cookie.

What should we do? I vote that AHB is to decant and bring both D and Mk, and we’ll team-adopt if required.

Agreed

Also agree.

Indeed, if he isn’t coming we should know that. My patience is exhausted. So now there is a deadline.

Cookie: if you do not post in this thread by midday Monday 9^th April, then you and Kate are deemed to have withdrawn, and are not coming.

This message will be posted in the thread, and sent by PM, by text, and by email.

And just confirm (as those others present the other evening will have noted) that my two bottles are residing at the B&F.

Panic ye not!...KMH and I ARE attending but sincere apologies for late notice...it has been rather stressful on our return from New Zealand for a number of reasons...I am bringing the Sandeman and Kate is adopting the Mk from Alex (thank you).

Food order:
RLC- Starter: Crab; Main: Rib eye steak (rare) with hand cut chips and French beans.
KMH- Starter: Duck Pate; Main: Gammon with black pudding.

Expected arrival time is 18:30.

Double-decanted, please.

And please acknowledge that you will do so.

I have deposited Dow and McKenzie

I will be attending tomorrow, but will be relying on British Rail’s successor companies to get me promptly to London from Rugby. I may be late.

Urgent!!!...I have somehow followed in the belief that I actually owned a Sandeman '63...it now appears that this is not the case...the bottle believed to be S'63 has had its label (and probably the contents) changed to a Croft '63...the only other 63 I have is a Burmester Colheita...probably unacceptable for this tasting....please advise what I need to do or suggest a solution please.

AHB wrote: ↑20:11 Sun 18 Feb 2018 The telepathy was correct.

I can (easily) offer Dow, Mackenzie, Martinez or Sandeman. I could dig something else out of storage if necessary.

Is this still an adoptive option?

Unfortunately not. I will not be at home between now and Tuesday night. Perhaps Tom might have an S63 you could adopt?

Ok...sorry chaps but in the absence of a viable solution Kate and I will withdraw...if any expense has been incurred please advise accordingly.

Done.

See you tomorrow, I will try to be closer to 15:30, and I am looking forward to tomorrow night.
