My chosen bottle is standing upright, ready for decanting first thing in the morning.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

My appointment has not been cancelled
My input to tomorrow's discussion is: Would bringing back KP be worse than what we witnessed last weekend?

Yes. Now we don't have to discuss it.DRT wrote:My appointment has not been cancelled

My chosen bottle is standing and ready to be decanted around lunchtime.

All these bottles are making me thirsty.
DRT: would you rather receive live TNs by text or by PM? (I acknowledge that this is harsh: DRT has today very gracefully resigned from his long-pretended authorship status, and I’m life-coach moaning by PM.)

Printing of the placemats is imminent. Any last-24-hours changes?

TNs are probably best saved for the review thread as I shall be unable to receive and read them during this event.

I have a two-thirds full bottle of something that was decanted at the weekend that will also be making an appearance, so one of those dagger places will be occupied.
Re: A sudden emergency in London, predicted for 21 July 2015
I currently have over a dozen bottles standing up but this is primarily because I have no room to lay them down. I clearly need to consume quicker than I purchase!

Printed: too late for changes.

Does this mean that if my work function is cancelled at short notice I am not allowed to join you?jdaw1 wrote:Printed: too late for changes.

It means that you would be the blank name, and your bottle would be the dagger. If that is beneath your dignity, then you should not join us.DRT wrote:Does this mean that if my work function is cancelled at short notice I am not allowed to join you?jdaw1 wrote:Printed: too late for changes.
And the decanter labels have been made.

Please make sure your meeting is cancelled. Depending on when you know, I could provide. Others are likely to have a slightly wider range however.DRT wrote:I would be more than happy to be anonymous, but might have to adopt at very short notice.jdaw1 wrote:If that is beneath your dignity, then you should not join us.

Oh the harshness, I can see the finger wagging, I can taste the disapproval. Really, comments as barbed as this have no place on a gentlemen's forum.jdaw1 wrote:DRT has today very gracefully resigned from his long-pretended authorship status.

If you can let me know before 5pm, I can help. It will of course be pop and pour...DRT wrote: but might have to adopt at very short notice.
