Placemats updated. (But my contentness about the ordering of the glasses in the side page is less than perfect.)

A ’42 is such a good deed that I have decided to ignore the apostrophe crime.

As I have pointed out in another post I failed English o level in a spectacular way .... I'm happy to explain tcp stack layers to anybody happy to listen but I'm afraid I'm unable to offer any kind of warranty against my spelling ... gramer or for that matter anything related to words and such like ...

You are of course correct about the apostrophe but more importantly the benefit of the addition of a bottle with 42 on it to the upcoming fun and games.

Gent's

Last call for Food - Please have a look at this food order to make sure I've got it all correct - Charles note the desert for you unlike last time

Check I've got it right by download the food order as a pdf from here.

IMPORTANT - Tom and Axel - at the moment I don't have any food orders from you - If you would like to eat then please select from the menu which is available here

Mine is correct as documented, but if possible may I join the Welsh Rarebit club and add one to my order?

I ordered it for Thursday night, but apparently forgot to order it for Tuesday night.

Thank you all for having me there and providing all the bottles.

Is anyone of you present at the Vintage Port day the day before?

Thanks

Axel

I don’t understand the question. Am I missing out on something?!

Axel,

I've updated the menu with your choices ...

I can do that .....

My food order:

Soup
Sirloin MR
Peppercorn sauce
Green beans
Chips

Hello Everybody ..... Food order has gone in .... the orders you have placed for this event is what I have added to the default order so shout if thats wrong ..... Alex I have accommodated your tweak

Hi Everybody, we have a final line up and a final cost now of £180 per head less the cost of whatever your bringing

Can I ask you to bring cash on the night please - just makes the re-distribution that much easier

The inevitable has happened and I cannot find my half case of 1985 Graham. 60,80,83 etc I can find but not 85.

I am happy to fork out for anyone else’s bottle of 85 Graham, if they have one to hand that they can bring along.

I can bring one with me but I would have to know in the next 2 hours. After that I'll be on the way to the airport. As will President Joe Biden, thus the very early 4:00 pm departure for a 9:00 pm flight.

I have G85.

Thank you for the quick response. Noted that I do not need to bring one.

Bottle standing; picture added to G85 thread; placemats updated.

So to hand, links again: • Review; • TNs — 1942, ’45, ’48, ’55, ’60, ’63, ’66, ’70, ’75, ’77, ’80, ’83, ’85, ’91, ’94, ’97, 2000, ’03; • Placemats; • Planning and arrangements.

Julian - I am immensely obliged.

Glenn - thank you, and I am glad we are not needing to rely on your fast cellar access.

Unless instructed otherwise by the organiser, both the G66 and the G85 will be Audouze’d: opened Monday evening; decanted Tuesday morning.

I'm planning to follow Julian's lead with the G2000. Audouze’d: opened Monday evening; decanted Tuesday morning.

Audouze’d: both opened 19:30 Monday. Cork pictures: G66; G85.

What time are we starting? Boot and Flogger is a 5 min walk from my hotel.

Alex, should I bring your bottle to this evening or bring it on Wednesday?

Please bring it on Tuesday.


Charles - do you want some of your Ferreira 1977s that I have at home?

I'll likely get to the B&F for 1715 if any help needed with pouring etc.

That would be great thanks .... I'm bringing the place mats

I can be there as early as you need me.

4:30 / 5:00 is good Genn

See you then

83 & 94 opened and decanted at 1330. Will get about three hours in decanter before moving to B&F.
QA samples OK.
