I have taken the liberty of booking a table at the Boot & Flogger as AHB and I are both in town and likely to be thirsty next Wednesday! The only space available is the 'Private Room', which AHB advises would not suit more than 6 people for a TPF event. We're full (assuming JDAW gets permission...)
Date: Wednesday 24th May - 6pm Venue: Boot & Flogger Theme: Anything But Vintage (Part....??) - Blind

Hi Ben
I would be interested in attending - I have a visitor (who is actually a member of the forum) who would also like to attend.
Two spaces at the table allocated. Can you confirm the identity of your visitor and I will try and produce place mats.

Or a variant. Bottles blind. But each person is to declare for whom the bottle is brought. For example, I have a bottle that I have been saving for BMHR. So that would be “JDAW (for BMHR)”. Would people willing to play with a theme of “Blind, For Somebody”?

I take that question to be confirmation of your availability?
I do like your variation on the 'blind' theme, although perhaps that should be an optional one. In which case, the bottle could be labelled 'A treat for ABCD' and an extra point could be awarded for anyone even vaguely guessing why it was so labelled. I would have to think very hard to find something suitable, but I don't rule it out!

I'm going to find it a bit of a challenge to fit with both themes. I may have to ignore the ABV requirement if I am also going to make the "...for ABCD..." requirement.
Top Ports in 2022: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931. I have never drunk such a wonderful bottle of Port. I cried with joy.
2023: Fonseca 1966. There are not many better Ports, except a good bottle of Fonseca 1927. Wow!

The overarching objective is to drink some interesting port in good company. Don't let rigid observance of the 'theme' distract you from that!

Excellent. I can easily cope with this theme clarification.

I can indeed come along... but may not be there until 7pm or just after as I need to wait for Rosie to get back. Please carry on with the food as I shall skip that on this occasion, and I shall join for the fine juice as soon as I can.
