The "Too lazy to collect my bottle from JDAW" 1970 tasting?
Posted: 18:55 Sun 05 Oct 2025
Is anyone else minded to suggest we drink the spare bottle they have made available for last weeks 1970 tasting and which now resides in JDAW's cellar with a 'best before' date of 3rd October 2026?
I am suggesting the 'rules' should broadly be:
And if there is not sufficient interest, I will keep 4th October 2026 free and suggest meeting JDAW for lunch!
I am suggesting the 'rules' should broadly be:
- priority will be given to those liberating a bottle donated by them to the 1970 tasting last week and which now sits in JDAW's cellar
- I am happy to organise the tasting if there is interest - to be held at the Boot & Flogger some time in Q1 2026
- The capacity will probably be capped at 14
- I propose running a waiting list of those unable to attend the 1970 tasting but who would like to attend - anyone in this category goes straight to the waiting list, but see point below
- My only other suggested criteria for the waiting list would be 'bring a bottle that will not feel out of place in the expected company' - but you can be the judge of what that might mean
- I might allow 1 month from a date being set for priority attendees to declare / confirm an interest and then start promoting waiting list names to confirmed attendance
- EDIT: the date will be chosen to suit the specific availability of JDAW and I and there is a presumption JDAW may request/require some assistance if too many bottles for 1 person to transport.
And if there is not sufficient interest, I will keep 4th October 2026 free and suggest meeting JDAW for lunch!
