chips

Skinny or fat?

And pls could there be food orders from Alex, Ray, Kate, Tom, both Wolfgangs, Ian, Axel, and Derek.

See previous page (but skinny chips please)...

If the appropriate opportunity arises then I will drop off my bottles at the B&F but like Phil, I'm not currently due in London before this tasting and therefore they will likely arrive pre-decanted. Foodwise, Truffle mac and cheese followed by Steak (medium-rare) with skinny chrips and green beans....

Mr. Mike P. Meehan: what will you bring? Dr. Tony Carter: what will you bring? Mr. Derek R. Turnbull: what will you bring? Mr. Ian D. Johns: what will you bring? Mr. Simon C. Doggett: what will you bring? Mr. Ben M. H. Read: what will you bring? Mr Wolfgang P. Starz: what will you bring? Continuing...

This was typographical rather than grammatical with the second quotation mark inadvertently being inserted before the 's' rather than after and thus becoming an unintentional apostrophe.

OK B&F Now booked for the 5th June Some comments on the theme would be useful. either: a) we try and construct a vertical of examples from years ending with an '8' b) we go fo a 'blind' bring a bottle with an 8 in the vintage as suggested by Alex. Please confirm availability for the evening and you...

I'd need to check but it should work for me-Tues or Weds would be best.

Absolutely-September this year would appear free... Thanks for brokering Tony.

Just received an e-mail from TAP announcing flights from London City Airport and it appears that a round trip next month will only set you back £78-that's so tempting!

My order is:

Truffle Mac and Cheese
Gammon and chips with black pudding but no egg (egg not to touch my plate but to be dexterously offloaded to Julian's beforehand) plus a side order of green beans
Dessert TBD on the night

Thanks

Yes, although it's CaF I am additionally providing as opposed to Ca.

Sadly TC also can't make it.

But Dia said she could and so can she be added to the attendees? Have we made a final decision on what's within theme and what's without ie I'm assuming that N and V are in but FG is out?

Yes please Axel-count me in (will decide on bottle nearer the time).

I recall an early bottle of the 94 definitely mentioning QH but the later bottles didn't. It was a bit stewy last time I tried a bottle (of the non-QH labelled version). Will now be tempted into trying another bottle (of the five I have left).

This thread was quite prescient since before I saw it (on a circuitous trip into work this morning) and bagged the last seat, I had decanted a bottle of the Ck77 (the recent release) this morning. This is in preparation of a small cheese and Port soiree where it will be up against a G77 and a 40yr t...

Another time for the NN. I Agree Me too, Port should be inclusive and this suggestion was mooted after the start of the thread. That being said, can't help feeling a pang of disappointment. We need to keep this 'another time' alive! Having said I need to adopt, I think I have some OBV 63. Already v...

Yes please. Have the 63 and 50 plus other later ones.

I'd be up for this as my diary appears free for this day. I wouldn't be able to help with decanting since will be coming in from Reading but hopefully, someone(s) can step in. Failing that, we could always ask the B&F-I believe they've done some decanting for us before?

So I believe that means the three adopted bottles being W (from Charles), Mz (from Alex) and Cn (from Tom). However... Will bottles÷people at 1.0 be sufficient? Should the team adopt from those with multiples? I agree that with a full complement of 14 people there's a case for adding for adding two ...

Yes please! Does OBV count as an 'awful shipper's?

And have just seen your PM on the same subject Julian...

Believe I have successfully printed out the current version of the placemats (in colour) and so providing I don't leave them in the office (like last time) will bring them with me later. Will try to get there as early as I can.

… the placemats … • Please would somebody check them? • Please would an early-arriving somebody volunteer to print them? I assume that with Simon's unfortunate absence they will be re-drafted but whether it's down to cacheing, I can only view half of the glasses placemats? Otherwise, I could print ...

Food order updated. Failing cogent objection by 6pm Sunday 11^th, it will be sent to the B&F.

Happy with this.

Nickells and Perks February sale now on-one or two reasonable value Ports to my eye.
