Thu 15 Feb 2018: Mr. Wolfgang Starz

Post by jdaw1 »

Several current subjects of Her Majesty have the great pleasure of inviting Herr Wolfgang Starz to a Port Tasting on Thursday the 15th of February 2018, to commemorate his becoming Mr. Wolfgang Starz.

In The White Furnace, at The Boot & Flogger, commencing 6½pm sharp. Carriages 11pm.

The theme will be, of course, Port Fit for A New Subject of Her Majesty, from Shippers Now or Previously Eligible for Membership of the Factory House.

Dress code: British Business Casual.
WS1 wrote: 08:14 Sat 13 Jan 2018With regards to the Port fit for a Queen's new subject tasting what about Tuesday the 13th of February? I have the citizenship ceremony on Monday the 12th so that date could fit nicely.
Attendees:
  1. WPS (F60 from JDAW);
  2. JDAW (N70);
  3. DRL (W70);
  4. DRT (Cr70);
  5. AHB (F63);
  6. CPR (G70);
  7. IDJ (T66);
  8. PW (Ni70).
Food order.


The placemats (and the parameters by which made):

† Precise list of inviters to be determined. But Wolfgang bring nothing — you are the guest.

Please put me down as a possible attendee. I might have to withdraw if something happens to my second knee between now and then.

May I suggest that "German pours" should be obligatory for all if there are fewer that eight attendees.

Congratulations, Wolfgang,

It is with deep regret that I must decline to add my name to those inviting Mr Wolfgang Starz to celebrate his becoming a subject of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

This is partly due to the fact that my principles to do not allow me, in all good conscience, to celebrate a free man giving up his freedom in exchange for a lifetime of servitude as the plaything of royalty but mostly to do with the fact that I don't get back to the UK until early on the morning of Wednesday 14th Feb.

Tuesday the 13th was a suggestion, Thursday the 15th of February could also be an option if you want to consider to review your principle in the presence of friends. :lol: . Obviously you would be also back in the UK to make it!

Under those circumstances I would be delighted to accept an invitation to a slightly delayed celebration. The 15th sounds perfect.

There is the tiniest of tiny chances that I might be able to attend, though it's not likely right now.
However, even if not present I will most definitely toast the event remotely, and am very happy that Wolfgang will continue to be with us.

Well, I've only seen him wearing a pointed helmet on.. three(?) occasions so far...

p.s. We (Julian) should really spell Wolfgang's name correctly in the thread title and first post, unless he's changing it to a British spelling? ;)

I had thought that the Anglicization plus the fact that Wolfgang was the feature (star) of the tasting was a clever play-I suggest we leave it that way within the title of the thread.

And by the way count me in please.

Very good news. I shall keep my fingers crossed between now and then.

Irayna has said that if we pre-order 2-3 days in advance, she would be able to get steaks in to order (ie. we're not limited to the rib eye on the menu but can order anything from the Donald Russell steak range), in which case my food order is:
  • No starter
  • 350g bone in rib-eye with thin fries and a béarnaise sauce
  • Dessert (if any) on the night
  • A pot of loose leaf Earl Grey tea
If I can't get the bone in steak I'll just go with the standard rib-eye from the menu.

How exciting, in which case my order changes to:

  • Main: Carnivores' Rib Steak* (medium rare) with grilled tomato and mushrooms
  • Savoury: Nothing
  • Pudding: Nothing
*I realise that this option might come at a premium, which I am happy to pay.

Port: Niepoort 1970 (dumpy).
Yes, I know, it isn't a British shipper, but it certainly should be Port Fit for A New Subject of Her Majesty, is a bottle I have been saving for a special occasion and would like to share with Wolfgang, and is a bottle which didn't originally live in the UK, but found it's way here a few years ago where we will now celebrate its inclusion, so I think that makes it more than worthy and suitable.

Food:
  • Starter: Welsh rarebit
  • Main: If someone would like to share, then a Chateaubriand* (either rare or medium-rare); otherwise a Carnivores Rib* (medium-rare)
    + béarnaise sauce, + green beans please.
  • Dessert: -
*per others, more than happy to pay the steak premium; and thank you Alex/Irayna for the extended options.

I entirely agree, this is a worthy bottle. Perhaps it could be labelled "Remainer 1970 (dumpy)"?

Shush! If our guest wishes to bring Ck55, G55 or F66 it would be churlish to refuse his request to thank us for our hospitality. We will, at least, be able to buy him dinner that night.

Quite so-it would be most unbritish of us to decline such a kind offer and risk offending a new citizen.

And talking of dinner, looks like whilst I was away, I missed an opportunity to share in the Chateaubriand (which is a shame) and so instead I will plump for:

Truffle mac and cheese
Rump steak (medium-rare) with chips
Deseert TBD on the night

I see that Charles has suggested he might bring a T66-could I politely offer up this prospect instead since this is one 66 that I have more than handful of bottles of?

Nobody would be very offended by double rations of T66. Nor by 1×T66 + 1×G70.

This is shaping up very nicely — placemats updated.

The placemats and line-up do look very good. Can anyone volunteer to print them? I can't, as I will be arriving back in the UK that morning especially to attend Wolfgang's welcome dinner.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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

I see that Charles has suggested he might bring a T66-could I politely offer up this prospect instead since this is one 66 that I have more than handful of bottles of?
Ian please bring your T66 I will bring something else suitable
Thanks Charles and yes, this is shaping up very nicely. Is Mr Starz still bringing the F60 (adopted from JDAW) ?

I very much hope I could come but need to check the week before on Zac cover. I would not be eating but would be more than happy to cover service and Ws1 contributions. If Phil is coming it would be a TV69 if not a Dow 80 for my bottle.

Both the food order and the placemats have been updated.

But I’d happily share a very rare chateaubriand: who wants it rarest? Wolfgang? Phil? Ian?

"Black and rare" would be my ideal, but am happy to be flexible as best fits us all (with a steak that thick, black and blue can still be a little cool in the middle if they haven't warmed slightly).

Hi Phil, Julian,

I would like to have a Chateaubriand but not as muuuuhhhh (Black and blue) as you like. So you two seem to be a perfect match. :lol:
Happy to share a Chateaubriand medium rare to rare. Sorry but my German roots come through here.....
Maybe another attendee would like to share?
Not had time yet to locate the port yet as I was in Austria for a Hermitage tasting over the weekend. Will do over the course of this week.

regards
