Please confirm that we have 2×S63. (I’m not objecting, merely seeking confirmation.)

If you insist, but why not by age, older on left, younger on right, 63s together in the middle?

PhilW wrote:I think Axel is intended to have two separate flights, with all the 63s within one of those (in order to avoid splitting them, especially given Avery+components).

jdaw1 wrote: ↑20:50 Wed 25 Apr 2018 The placemats have been updated, mostly but not wholly in accordance with instructions.

Please verify the Dalva G. W. year.

JB vintage wrote: ↑11:01 Mon 30 Apr 2018 We are flying in from Sweden on the morning of the tasting. We think it might be better to decant in the morning before the flight rather than mixing the sediment during the flight. We will bring the original bottle in any case. Does any of you have experience on what would be the best option?

Axel asked me to look into the glass issue and despite short notice we can hire glasses for this event (Riedel port stems). The cost split per person for 7 glasses each is 13.2£. Please confirm urgently that you are happy us using the glass service as the glasses in the RAF club are not only not good for port (bad shape/design) they are usually not usable for port due to the very efficient dish washer arrangement they have reusing used water. Without extra cleaning the glasses the port is heavily handicapped. I need to get back to the glass service swiftly as otherwise it is too late.

regards

Could I request two swaps of position: S63 <-> Fs63 and T63<->F63 as this would make a better "Avery corner".

I have my bottle decanted at office on london wall, is anyone in the area who could pick it up. Otherwise I will try and drop off later in the night but I am unlikely to be able to stay.
Axel I will pay the full amount to you
Sorry for the late notice
