if people would prefer dinner then let me know.

[jdaw1]

Forgot to reply last night — yes please.

Blind or sighted?

[mcoulson]

As you say ... I'm very up for this ...

[hadge]

Forgot to reply last night — yes please.

Blind or sighted?

I think that we will go generally sighted.

[jdaw1]

plus something from 1984

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

And something else.

[jdaw1]

(with a cap on bring only 2 bottles).

a Mag of Claret, plus something from 1984

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)?

What do you think, with the theme.

two corks, hummm what is a screwcap not seen port in that before.

your call, but i do have it lined up for the tasting a little later in the year.

[Alex Bridgeman]

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.

[jdaw1]

I have only one, so your call. At which event would you prefer it?

[flash_uk]

Can’t make, away in the sun.

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.

Theme: Crazy like Harry (which means anything you enjoy drinking) (with a cap on bring only 2 bottles).

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):

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.

[mcoulson]

I have a guest to bring ... his name is Nigel

[hadge]

I love this! a wonderful thought process.

there is only one thing missing, oh I'm not sure where that bottle i was bring is therefore i will just bring something else on the day.

[mcoulson]

after a spot of thought and consultation .... I'll bring F77

[hadge]

I will bring

Mag of La Lagune 1990 (a young claret)
Mag of Calem 1977 (as the rest are 77s so why not)

[idj123]

Like Mike, away in the Sun and so unable to join you. Enjoy!

[mcoulson]

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

[hadge]

that is good of Martin to bring a corked wine too!

[PhilW]

that is good of Martin to bring a corked wine too!

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!))

[mcoulson]

Look ... it's a std size bottle and the other three I have had were all very nice .....

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,
