Alas, I will be enjoying the delights of the Kingsknowes Hotel* in Galashiels in the Scottish Borders and will be unable to join you.
I'm quite certain that the bottle of Cockburn Special Reserve that was opened in 2012 that is sitting behind the bar will be as delightful as anything that you will be drinking at the B&F

I was briefly in but now unfortunately I am out (my wife reminded me that she is away with work and thus I am 'on duty' that night). Apologies!
I have a wine tasting (wines from the former Soviet Empire) that evening which will run to about 19.30. I could join you for dinner and a brief sip of port if a late entrant were to be allowed, arriving around 20.00?
Top Ports in 2021: Niepoort Garrafeira 1931; Niepoort VV (1960s bottling) and Cockburn 1969 Single Harvest Tawny
Top Port in 2022 so far: the most stunning bottle of Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931. I have never drunk such a wonderful bottle of Port.

Excellent - What do you want to eat? I will order for you (the rest of us will order on the night)

If there is still room, could I please book a place? I am afraid I will need to pass on the dinner, but have just the bottle for a blind tasting.
Sounds intriguing I look forward to guessing horrendously!

As table space is at a premium, I made it US Legal = 14″×8½″. I could print at home on Tuesday evening.
