Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

It has no significance except that's when I did these things. Who can say, perhaps that's useful to know.
Did "these things" have to be (or were best) done during daylight hours?

In fact it wasn't Sauternes but it was white wine. In fact it was a bottle of 2010 Tiara. The thing I hadn't done since 2004 was a piece of performance art. I was asked to reprise, as part of the 20th anniversary celebrations of an organisation I've been involved in for 19 years, a piece I made in 2000. This took the form of a lecture with a video element, timed to last the length of a chilled bottle of white wine.

I have not made a performance since 2004. Indeed, it was a version of this performance. But the original version was written in 2000.

It calms the nerves somewhat. And it's a very useful timing mechanism. And I made sure to have a large breakfast.

It is too late and we are too few to start a new question. I am probably not going to be active here for 36 hours.

I, DRT, being of sound mind and under no undue influence hereby cede my turn to ask a question to Glenn E.

Given that you responded within 15 minutes the answer to my question is clearly "no".
