Re: 2003 Wine Dinner - B&F - Mon 4 Dec 2023

I will copy Alex on the starter front and have pigs in blankets followed by the sirloin steak and fries with red cabbage.
Thanks

Re: A Small Emergency - Thurs 9th Nov

No, sorry, it is becoming a bit of an expedition to get into Town these days and so once in a week is quite enough!

Re: Croft vertical, Tue 07 Nov 2023

Bottles decanted in accordance with Julian’s directions. No taste test but colour (of both) suggests fully mature VP. ETA a little earlier than normal at around 5.35pm all being well.

Re: Croft vertical, Tue 07 Nov 2023

Unless my eyes mistake me I notice that the Cr85 is absent from the line up? It appears to be available on the retail market for £55. Should I group purchase?

Re: Emergency - Constantino 1947 - and friends..

Selfishly, I would prefer 17 October, as it’s half term the following week and I’m not about. However, this date hasn’t been offered up and so I suspect does not suit others.

Re: 63@60 2023 - 18th July 2023 - bring a bottle event

I have waited until now in the vain hope that circumstances might change. However, that is now not going to happen and therefore, childcare responsibilities driven by family matters means that I will have to very reluctantly withdraw from this tasting. Apologies to all.

might it be ....

Taylors, Grahams, Dow, Cockburn, Constantino & Croft

idj123 - is this correct ?
Sorry, should have checked the agreed abbreviation but for C read Ca (or Calem to be totally clear).

Re: 83@40 2023 - May 25th

It’s recently dawned on me that rather annoyingly, 25 May doesn’t actually work for me (in spite of initially stating to the contrary) as I will be in Lisbon that evening! Therefore, I will have to ruefully drop out.
