Draft of food order . CHECK YOUR ORDER. IF YOU DIDN’T CHECK, AND IT’S WRONG, IT’s YOUR FAULT. PLEASE CHECK IT NOW. Not wrong. However if this reply seen in time, I would like "Flatbread, lemon & coriander houmous" (listed under bar snacks rather than starters on current menu) as a starter instead o...

Agree, add.

I'm going to have to drop from the Xmas tasting this year due to other commitments confirmed yesterday (coincidental timing given Alex's reminder).
Please make my space available for a reserve.

Confirmed, still in.

Personally, I'd stop at the 85; I might have been tempted to include 94, but not 2000.

I can't make it, but there is already an emergency next Tue, if you haven't seen.

Would be interested, subject to date; I have only the '70.
I would prefer to have RV on a separate occasion (and will be extremely keen to join for that, and have been trying to pick up occasional RV in preparation for this).

Maybe it is a secret lucky sign and if you contact Warre they will send you the rest of the pipe! That would make it a very lucky four leaf clover :D PhilW - probably won't help, but I'll upload a photo of the whole cap. Nothing else on bottles as they're unlabelled. Thanks; you can probably guess ...

Sounds like an excellent idea for a tasting to me; the Sandeman '42 is particularly unusual and interesting.

No matching image in the VPID I'm afraid - I don't know.
Does the bottle have any other marks or embossing on the bottle?

Completely agree with Derek's advice above. Keep it well, and you have fabulous drinking for the next decade or two.

Still here. Still in.

I’ve never seen that bottle used prior to late 1960’s.

Just let me know what time to arrive Derek

The old VV has been on my bucket list for a long time; I hope to try it one day - though that might just have become somewhat less likely!

Sounds like you might need a drink.

Looks like an excellent menu, as well as the wine, finishing off with one of my favourite ports. My invite must have been lost in the post

Hexagons, we want hexagons! Hexagonal bottles would also tessellate perfectly (albeit not along the edges), while also not allowing an entire row or stack to slide, as well as fitting better within the hand for pouring. But no, we don't want really want hexagonal or square bottles; also presumably t...

I'd be interested too, if space and dates permit.

I can't imagine the answer to this question ever being anything other than yes... I'm in.

Please could somebody check the placemats carefully, ideally today. Thank you.

Provided details in first post are all up to date, everything looks correct on the placemats to me.

Updated food order as submitted, FYI.

Thanks Wolfgang - hope you're feeling better.

Food order draft created; please check your orders; I will submit on Monday evening, so any corrections before then please. Wolfgang - as you have not posted your food choices and have no default order currently, I have assumed you want the same order as from a previous tasting, and trust this shou...

Just missing an order (and/or default order) for Wolfgang (S).
Will create a default if I don't hear back today, and post the food order for checking tonight/tomorrow morning, and then submit on Monday evening.

I thought one of the points of the default food thread was that the default order was taken as the order unless the individual actively and explicitly specifies something different? Kind of defeats the purpose if everyone needs to restate their default order every time does it not? Agreed, though s...

Please post food orders ASAP.

Reminder - we still need food orders from: Tony, Tom, Axel, Charles, Mike, Ian and Wolfgang.
(and noting Axel, Wolfgang and Tony do not have a default food order specified).
