I have O80 here, and some more at Seckfords, and my SW80 is also at Seckfords. I have yet to find the O80 here, but am sure it is buried here somewhere. You would think that having slowed my drinking down (a long covid side effect meant wine in particular tasted revolting), that the cellar here would have emptied, at least slightly. But no, it seems my buying rate has been slightly greater than our drinking rate, either down to optimism or insanity. But, hurrah, wine has become tasty again, so perhaps it was not so crazy.

No. Gift to team.

Apologies, I hadn’t spotted that I was due to provide both Croft Roeda and Taylor. While I have easy access to the Roeda, I don’t have easy access to the Taylor.
If we do drink the Taylor (which is not on the current draft of the placemats) would someone else be able to provide it?

Re: 1980 Horizontal, 20 October 2021, B&F
Apologies for the change of plans - now can't make this one. Holiday abroad booked for this week with the family. There's always a chance that something scuppeors those plans, but as it stands, I step back.
If my promised GC80 remains required, let me know.

Many apologies, but I too will have to stand down from the tasting. I have a lot on at the moment and a deadline on 26 October. I’m determined to attend the Warre tasting but will have to give up my place at this one.

I can’t immediately see a waiting list. If there isn’t one and if someone might be able to offer a bottle for adoption, might I take one of the vacant places?

If there’s still a space available could I reserve it for a guest (and potential future TPFer)? He’s currently abroad but will confirm when he gets back later this week. Initials are JB (another Julian).
