Please sir, could I bring an additional bottle with me for this evening?

Yes please!

Apologies but I will now be tied up with a new business proposal and so, won’t be able to attend the lunchtime part of this tasting but should still be able to make the evening if that can be accommodated? Assuming so, I will have my new usual: Welsh Rarebit Steak (M/R) fries and carrots with pepper...

Interesting tasting but I’m not sure how instructive with one entrant garnering more points (40 out of 42-take a bow V and from magnum, thank-you Anthony)than I can recall at any tasting. However, for me, the big guns just weren’t firing (F was particularly disappointing), with the exception of N, w...

Funnily enough, having been in Sainsbury’s this morning, I was going to post the same (although my Sainsbury’s has both the 2010 and 2012)

Ck and Tesco corks pulled at c9pm last night and decanted this morning at 6.15. No problem with the Ck cork, but yes, the Tesco cork disintegrated!

Would anyone object if I brought a Tesco 94 as an additional bottle, which I came across at the same time as locating the Ck94?

Can’t help but being underwhelmed by the current crop of B&F starters and so:

Welsh Rarebit
Steak (M/R) and fries with peppercorn sauce and carrots
Dessert TBD on the night

Thanks

Happy to exchange the Tuesday for a Thursday (it suits me better).

Been a bit held up at a Parents ‘evening’ but expect to be with you by 6.30pm.

I should be ok.

Fortified.

Yes, apologies also:

Welsh Rarebit
Steak (M/R) fries and green beans with whatever the default sauce is

Thanks!

Regrettably, I will now have to excuse myself from this tasting, since my wife is away on business and therefore I am in the chair when it comes to childcare responsibilities. Enjoy!

Yes please!

V90 decorked at 10pm yesterday and then double decanted at 9 this morning. ETA 6pm.

And me please (assuming space)!

Believe that I need to reconfirm attendance and so am doing so.

Reconfirming and yes, I still have the Ni90 available.

Given formal confirmation has been received that the truffle Mac and cheese has been removed from the menu, I will have Welsh Rarebit, followed by steak (m-r) and fries with green beans and the brownie for dessert.
Thanks

Reconfirming attendance. Thanks.

Must be the biggest reserve list that I’ve seen.

Yes please Tom.

All being well with the intended train I should be with you about 5pm. Like Tony, I might have to be strict with time of leaving given the frequency of the trains this evening.

Yes, Merry Christmas Daniel and to one and all!

I have a bottle of V90 set aside for the purposes of this tasting.
