Have finally got my backside in gear and booked the Cricketer's again. And, yes, happy to share a cab.

Drat and double drat! I hadn't undertaken the necessary checks and balances (schoolboy error) and as am on child duty that night, regrettably I will have to confirm that I'm now out

Date: Thursday 19th October 2019. Venue: The Green Room in the Boot & Flogger . Theme: Mature VP or LBV. (Blind or sighted?) Participants (max eight): JDAW; JDAW’s guest = JC. Yes please and is the definition of 'mature' the JDAW definition or the AHB? :D Blind -must, must beat the monkey this time!

Very sorry but I am going to have to drop out
Very happy to pay for my share of port if place cannot be filled at this late hour.
Sorry about this
CMAG

That's unfortunate. Our reserve (Ray) is already in and so is there anyone else that wishes to attend at this 11th hour?

If we're only talking about bottles that I have to hand in my 'cellar' at home then (having undertaken a recent inventory) I don't have double figures of any bottle as I have been trying to concentrate on breadth rather than depth; the most I have is nine bottles of the Sainsbury TTD 03. And what i...

My go to cheese for the Kr67 would be a nice Manchego, mild but nutty- should complement it nicely.

Regret this is a little too close to Bonfire Night for me..

..but have 30 different '70s in the cellar, so let me know if any adoption is needed

Quick, someone adopt the Niepoort!

Only a couple of (potential) food orders to go (you know who you are-Tom!) and so this should be ready to go by the weekend. Most of the bottles now deposited at the B&F and thanks to those that have offered to decant and pre-pour. I should now be able to help with the latter as the work commitment ...

Look fine to me but can someone else just double check please.

Oh and CAN someone look to update the placemats please (JDAW?)

The majority of bottles for this tasting were deposited at the B&F last week (the glasses order was also confirmed). Can I ask that the remaining bottles be deposited before the tasting please? I now need to compile the food order (any volunteers to assist me with this?) and so can I ask these to be...

I also noted the CSD - IDJ swap.

I'm in and more than happy to donate a Hutcheson to the proceedings

Yes, count me in for dinner please!

I will partake of my (fairly) usual:

Truffle Mac and cheese
Gammon and chips with black pudding but with no egg
Dessert TBD on the night

Finally got my act together and secured a ticket for the Thursday.

Tony. If Reigate is any use to you I am going on 28 September and could Transport from here. PM me if that might help. Ben If that doesn't work for any reason, let me know. Ben, Alex, thanks-I'm likely to be bringing four bottles already on Thursday (including a mag) and so another two would prove ...

Been drinking my way through that bottle of Dalva 2007 white colheita that was gifted to us at the end of the Dalva tasting in Porto. Served chilled it's absolutely delicious and I wish that we could get hold of some more...

Think I may have mentioned on this Forum before but the Soares chain of wine merchants is well represented in the Algarve and indeed there's one on the Marina in Vilamoura although this is not as cheap as some of the branches that are slightly away from the touristy areas. Don't bother with British ...

If there are any late fallers could I please be considered for a place...I will need to adopt.

Ray-noted.

First post now edited to confirm the attendees and bottles allocated (all of those who have bottles allocated have been contacted although a couple of confirmations are still outstanding-you know who you are!). No success on the Industry Guest front but it does mean that all on the waiting list (who...
