wasn't keeping up to speed on this otherwise I would have said Rio as soon as you mentioned the clue about the same surname-honest!

The Number of the Beast-Iron Maiden?

Tango in the Night -Fleetwood Mac?

I'm going with the Irish connection-Thin Lizzy, Live and Dangerous . And if it wasn't it should have been!

Johnny B Goode.

Simon, I believe you're further West than where I went with the family last year and so I can't provide any recommendations of where to go or eat but look out for the Soares chain of wine shops as you can purchase bottles there that you can't in the UK. The big supermarkets tend to offer the best va...

Reconfirming attendance- still nine months to secure an unknown!

Truffle Mac and cheese for starter please followed by the sirloin steak (medium rare) with a side order of creamed spinach.
Thanks

Alex,

Reconfirming albeit Charles,Tony and I are heading out on the Monday.

I was briefly in but now unfortunately I am out (my wife reminded me that she is away with work and thus I am 'on duty' that night). Apologies!

To confirm that the F55 is currently residing at the B&F.

Would be good if we could include the W55.

I am and am in!

Mike's pretty much written the review I was going to write in his post above. However, chapeau to him for his excellent organisation (what a pleasure it was to turn up at 6.20pm and be confronted with a table full of the poured glasses seen in the photos). Also a shout out to the staff at B&F fo...

Impressive going Charles, yes- I had thought it would last a little longer than that. I will now have to be abstemious until Thursday's tasting.

Wholesale - Retail is not quite the same as Case - Individual. Not that I want to be question master again! I don't disagree but the QM is always right! Ok, I was looking forward last weekend to opening a bottle of VP (having gone Port-less for a couple of weeks) only to find much to my chagrin, th...

Whether bought by the case or singly?

Am intending bringing the F55 with me to drop off at the 80s mega matrix tasting next week.

Would it be possible to update the attendees in the opening post as there's been a bit of to-ing and fro-ing as of late?

F80 dropped off at the B&F last night (the T80 and Phil's F83 having been similarly deposited at the 77 tasting).

Just to be completely predictable:

Starter-Truffle Mac

Main-Sirloin Steak (medium-rare) with hand cut chips (no grilled tomato required) and a side order of the creamed spinach

Dessert-TBD on the night

That didn't last long, yes, well done Simon, it was the ace axeman last seen amist the mud of the Knebworth festival and before he turned to lute music. Your turn.

A good answer but no.

That was 1980 not 1985.

Nope Derek, there's no Welsh connection.

Guadalcanal? Yes. Your turn. Fascinating mix of luck and strategy. Must have been terrifying. No wonder those involved in such conflicts are least likely to talk about them. Yes and that's without the wildlife to contend with eg saltwater crocs! Anyhow, my question. I don't go to many concerts thes...

Guadalcanal?
