Re: Mon 22nd or Tue 23rd or Wed 24th Dec, lunch or evening?
The initial title of this thread is “Mon 22nd or Tue 23rd or Wed 24th Dec, lunch or evening?”, which summaries the question at hand. Will anybody be available, and thirsty? I could travel.

Alas no. Unless by 'travel' you mean 'go to Belfast'.

I'm in for evening of Monday 22nd. G70 is my weapon of choice.
Boot & Flogger seems to be the obvious venue.

I might be available on Monday. Not sure for now as I will need to request a pass.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

I failed to see JDAW's request in time.
JDAW - please cope.

Table 15 booked for 6pm.
Re: Mon 22nd Dec 2014, Boot & Flogger
Making placemats.
Blind or sighted?
Due to a failure of counting, I’ll bring a pair. One younger, one older.

I have already declared so mine will be sighted. I have no preference what others do.

Placemats in first post.
Re: Mon 22nd Dec 2014, Boot & Flogger
Will the Fr07 be wasted in the company of at least 2 x 1970?
Given that I am due to pay a fine, would JDAW be too upset if I replaced the Fr07 with a W70?

I'm not 100% certain, but I think it would be either a 1970 or a magnum of Graham 1897.jdaw1 wrote:If he were coming, what do you think he would bring?DRT wrote:Nudged.jdaw1 wrote:Which one of us should nudge AHB?

Sadly no chance for me to join you for this one, due to work.
Re: Mon 22nd Dec 2014, 1970s, Boot & Flogger
Due to a very kind offer to hold this tasting at a more intimate venue the guest list must now be closed as there are no more seats at the table.
Sorry.

G70 & W70 decanted and en route to London. They both look and smell delicious.
