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.

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.
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!

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. . 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.

2023: Fonseca 1966. There are not many better Ports, except a good bottle of Fonseca 1927. Wow!
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?

Oops. Memory failure. Sorry Wolfgang. Please fix die Sterne.

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.
