I have a 1984 Warre LBV which I have been holding for you. Should I bring that?
And something else.

So only two ‘bottles’. Does that mean at most two corks (extra screwcaps allowed), or does that mean at most two 750s (halves, 500s, magnums, imperials, Nebuchadnezzars, all not counting towards that limit)?

Alas, I have no mags of claret so I am unable to attend.
But I do have (and have drunk) Port from a bottle sealed with a screw-cap.

I can't join you on the 22nd, but I do also have three remaining bottles of the W1984lbv, so would be happy to provide a bottle for the subsequent event (whether I am present or not) if that would help.

The theme is “
Crazy like Harry”. It has taken me some thought to properly understand the depth of this.
•
Crazy: I’m going to bring a corked bottle, my single of GC77.
•
Crazy like Harry: Harry means magnums, so I must bring a magnum, of course of GC77, which won’t be corked.
•
Crazy like Harry …
(with a cap on bring only 2 bottles): Harry would ignore the cap, so I’ll also bring my last W84 ʟʙᴠ — relying on Phil’s generous offer to provide one if needed at a subsequent event (for which thanks):

change of plan .... since this is acquiring a 77 slant I'll bring a D77 as well as the F77 - just so we have a range to try
Sorry Julian can you add that to the placements please

He didn't say what size the bottle is? I don't _think_ any of the magnums have been corked? (about 30% if 75cl, bring a spare (or two!))

Having said that I imagine I'm about to run out of luck ...... still since there is only 4 of us .....

If you get a good one, it's delicious.
Wish I was able to join you and roll the dice, but I hope you're luck holds,
