I would prefer not to reveal as mine is a novelty as much as (hopefully) pleasant drinking.

And it allows me to change my mind at the last minute.

I would like to still come along, but until I move to Dorset cash flow is all tied up, so I would need to not have the dinner and just contribute to service. If that is okay, then I could offer a Niepoort 2005 as a comparison bottle or find something older if prefered. If you would rather have the space for a full participant, I totally understand and free up my seat.

More than happy to bring something along, how about a Passadouro 92 or 00 or if preferred a Ni 00?

You’re in. No need for the Niepoort 2005, but if you have a spare Niepoort that matches the vintages of one of the Broadbents I would accept that.




We have enough. One more, either a Ni matching a Bb, or something with age, would be welcome but is not necessary.

I should be able to print the placemats, but will also not be super early (I don't think, at the moment).

Please could I have no starter, sirloin steak (medium rare) with a bearnaise sauce.

What's a gratin potato and can I have chips instead?

We hope this will not cause any problems and that we can cancel our participation. We hope you have a very nice tasting.

Please may my choices, below, be added to the food order:

Starter - none.

Main - Gammon with everything including black pudding. Chips are preferred to skinny fries.

Savoury - the “Super extra cheesy plus plus more cheesy Welsh rarebit”, if possible.

Thanks,

It is still uncertain as to whether I can attend, and not looking positive; suggest you move me to reserve and I will add at last minute if able.

Wrong starter; but probably irrelevant if I can't make it.

In case you can make it — I hope so — please tell me the correct starter.

I hope to be there at about 17.30 following a Zac handover. I had hoped to be earlier to be able to help set up, but if there are last minute duties I should be there to assist.

I like the order of "heretically normal" welsh rarebit for Irayna :D

Thank you. Let me know if I need to bring a bottle. I have no Niepoort to match the Broadbent vintages.

Please remind me, am I bringing an extra bottle? Am I bringing my bottle of Broadbent 1994?
