Warre's Sesquarcentennial Tasting - Weds 6th Oct 2021 (date confirmed)

[benread]

If a space becomes available, and a bottle to adopt, I might be interested. I’m enquiring of my mother, who would need to babysit, just in case….

Julian’s space is still available. There are sufficient bottles so no adoption required, just a share of the bottle costs. Let me know ASAP.

If still available, I’m in. I’ve sent you a PM.

Great - you're in.

Food order submitted.
Any changes will need to be made on the night.

Julian - am assuming that you won't be attending. If you recover sufficiently by Wednesday let me know as I'm sure we'll find room for you.

I am very ill. Definitely unable to attend.

Placemats updated to add Ben, and to re-credit the ’55. Please check.

Perfect - many thanks & get well soon.

I’m sorry to hear you are still suffering. I promise to do my very best to fill your not inconsiderable (metaphorically speaking) shoes tomorrow night. I’ll gladly take any guidance on things I should or should not do so as to be a credit to your reputation!

I think that means Ben has just ordered an extra cheesy Welsh Rarebit with extra cheese.

W63 & W70 double decanted and Vac-U-Vined 0630-7000 this morning. All good.

Some of you may be aware that I was in Portugal last week. It was my practice during the visit to take a lateral flow test every day to minimise the risk I unknowingly had COVID and was contagious.

I have done the same today. My test is negative.

I am very much looking forward to seeing you all (and Mike for his book) later today!

[looks over shoulder, looks back again]...do you mean me? Or Mr Charlton, who I don't think is coming to this one?

W46 (in neck) Decanted 13;45- deep colour. OK -interesting if it holds.
W45 (VTS) - cork fell in on breaking seal. Decanted 13:55 - oh dear - gutted! Don't have time to run back to work to pick up another one.

[jdaw1]

Please, good photos of the bottlers, and of everything about the W46.

[uncle tom]

'75 decanted 12.30
'66 decanted 13.00
'58 decanted 15.15 (cork drawn last night as requested by WS)
'22 decanted 15.35

All looking very good - the colour on the '22 is superb..

Mike Charlton said he’d pop in to collect his book.

The ‘47 single decanted just before 4pm. Colour appears a little‘delicate’. Should be there about 6.30pm.

ETA 1830

[Alex Bridgeman]

George, Charles, Ian - would you be able to share your decanting times with us please? I always try to keep a record of decanting times with my notes.

Looks like a fun evening! What happened to the 1945? Was it flawed?

Wasn't quite right, very pale. Got better as evening went on. Possibly oxidised.

That’s a shame. I suppose at least it wasn’t undrinkable.
