Presuming my ChG09 isn't wanted over VP. Please pair me up for an adoption!

The bottles and associated providers are:
The CGs - 2003 & 2007 VP; 1987 Agua Alta; 1984, 1986 & 1989 Fojo
NAC - 1985, 1991, 1994 & 1997 VP
GEAG - 2000 VP; 1992 & 1998 Agua Alta
SCD - 1995 Agua Alta
tbc - 1982 VP
I believe this is 15 bottles which feels sufficient?
If you're providing bottles please PM or email me associated costs. Once I have all I'll advise the per head cost.

I believe I only have the 85 and 2011, both of which are in storage and so it looks as though I will need to adopt.

Not a problem as effectively most people are adopting.

Two spaces are now available.
IDJ - you're in.
Will - short notice, but are you available? Can you let me know ASAP please.
Ben - if Will isn't available then you're in.
Haven't seen anything from Will, so Ben is promoted from the bench.

Mine hasn’t replied. He’s at-risk. Ask yours.
Answer received: he won’t know whether available until Tuesday. If on Tuesday there’s still a spare seat, I can ask him at noon-ish (what time will you be printing?), and he might or might not then be available.

HTWH has withdrawn, so we're now at 12. If attendees drop below this I'll consider reducing the number of bottles.

All decanted & all seem good.
Not convinced the 84 Fojo is what it says on the label though. Will update further tomorrow.
I’m aiming to be there some time between 1700 and 1730. Will bring the placemats with me.
