It is with great regret that I must withdraw from this tasting. I hope this will not cause any issues as there are people still on the waiting list, but let me know if there is any problem with the late notice, which I can only apologise for. I hope it is a great tasting for all.

food order:
welsh rarebit and a green salad
main: Special Club Sirloin, medium rare (to be shared with Alex), with fries and green beans. Peppercorn sauce please.
no dessert

The SWC 92 will be brought by Tom as it is currently in his cellar. Brought the bt over to him in order to compare with the 91 SWC over 9 years ago. Cannot remember/find out anymore how much I paid, but think 40£s should be OK.

Hopefully it will be better than the truly awful bottle of 91 I brought to that horizontal.

My plan for the ChAA was to open and decant Tuesday evening. Am willing to do as you propose.

Do others have a preference?

Posted: **20:32 Sun 03 Apr 2022**

I am off to Jersey in the morning. The Malvedos will be delivered to the B&F on Tuesday by OJW. @jdaw1 - feel free to instruct the B&F on decanting times, otherwise it will be Wed morning.

Of course you have. But I have no idea what.

I am bringing ChAA92 for the tasting, three bottles of TV70 for Tom, and three sash window tighteners. Have I forgotten anything?

My two bottles for tomorrow night have been opened and are now getting used to a bit of air exposure.

The cork on the CkC fragmented into a million pieces despite the use of the cork pusher. Before opening the V I very gently steamed the neck of the bottle where the glass is in contact with the cork — being very careful not to heat the Port. A gentle push with the pusher and the cork came out in one piece.

I think Phil is also planning to come, albeit only until 9pm, and isn’t currently on the placemat.

Posted: **13:36 Tue 05 Apr 2022**

Have just moved and then restacked 35 cases of port to extract my owc of Delaforce '92 - I hope it's worth it!
