Very well. A group adoption of the G80 has been decided. Chris will bring the D80.jdaw1 wrote:CMAG was adopting the G80 from me — it is already standing awaiting duty. And it’s coming.

Re: Thu 21st April - Before the BFT
Help. I appear to have accidentally drunk all of my D83 without recording it correctly (spreadsheet says I have one bottle remaining, but this seems to be a lie); could I possibly adopt one from someone for Thursday night please?

Thanks Tom, would appreciate that.uncle tom wrote:Can sort..

The most significant thing though, is that it sounds like you'll make the tasting Phil, which is excellent news.uncle tom wrote:Can sort..Help.

Thanks gents. Very slow, but (mostly) positive progress. Looking forward to the tasting.jdaw1 wrote:Seconded.flash_uk wrote:The most significant thing though, is that it sounds like you'll make the tasting Phil, which is excellent news.
Re: Thu 21st April - Before the BFT
Alex - are you assuming A3 placemat printing duties yourself? I can do it if required, but there is a small chance I may be busy and not able to get to the B&F until 1830 on the dot.

Re: Thu 21st April - Before the BFT
Those who are bringing bottles, please could you decant them before arrival. It is likely that we will only be able to get into the red room quite close to our planned start time so I will be relying on people bringing decanted bottles and pouring small measures for themselves as we circulate the bottles round the table.

Re: Thu 21st April - Before the BFT
I plan to decant the D85 on Wednesday around 24 hours in advance.
Re: Thu 21st April - Before the BFT
A quick reminder to Tom, Phil, Alex, Simon, Ian and Charles - can you remember to bring the 1966s to the B&F on Thursday so that they can rest in advance of the 66 horizontal next month. Check here if you have forgotten what you are bringing. Thanks.
Re: Thu 21st April - Before the BFT
Any thoughts on when I should decant the G85?
Re: Thu 21st April - Before the BFT
I note that The Queen is 90 on Thursday.
Re: Thu 21st April - Before the BFT
Any preference on when the G70 is decanted? It has been standing up in the cellar since last week.

Re: Thu 21st April - Before the BFT
Where possible and practical, could bottles be decanted on Thursday morning please. Where not practical, as late on Wednesday as works would be preferred to decanting just before we drink.
