I suspect the recently announced changes to HMG policy re social gatherings will lead to a further date change, but let's see what happens...
Thanks to JDAW for doing the placemats (which I'm sure will need a number of updates - including below).
Thought the Dow 50 looked a bit lonely so have added in an Offley Boa Vista 50 for some balance.

Ports from the last time there were global restrictions on freedom of movement being unable to be drunk because of the current restrictions... Ah well.

There are two options:
(1) Delay the tasting until we are allowed to have 14 people together once again; or
(2) Hold the tasting in 2-3 instalments, each instalment of no more than 6 people (all of whom are willing and able to leave when the B&F is required to close at 10pm)
In either case, please can I have my seat at the tasting back!

Pretty sure option 1 Is going to be the outcome (although suspect 9 or 10 is the max for this tasting anyway), and yes you can then have your place back!

The problem with the current government is that none of them are wine connoisseurs. Down with this sort of thing.

Assuming we can't do this as planned for 8+, do any of the planned attendees (up to 6) fancy making use of the booked venue for a general session of Port consumption & witty conversation, etc.?
It's already in diaries so seems a shame not to...
