Due to general lack of enthusiasm I made the tragic decision to leave home with no Port.

Wednesday works for me. Please may I adopt something?

What about we share the Dow mini vertical (Halves 86, 88, 90 and 99)? Sometimes Chruchills has a bit of bottle variation, so this could be seen as a hedge!
Since we had a slow start we could catch up by adding a second theme. :wink: :lol:

I know just "window dressing" but it would work! :sun:

Halves work with only a few people. With DRT we will be six, (Wolfgang S., Julian W., Adam O., Kevin T., Phil W., Derek T.). Without pre-pouring that is the upper limit for halves. Are we closing this tasting to newcomers: those wanting being on a waiting list?

agreed; since I did not see anyone else attending I thought it could work. Am aslo happy to bring something else if preferred otherwise. Please let me know.

just put the ports ready for decanting very early tomorrow for breakfast :P

Do not worry I will not get side tracked! :wink:

Some say opening a Magnum, a normal bt and 3 halves is just appropiate; the majority would think though I am an alcoholic ...

Only people like e.g. William Pitt would see this as moderate :lol:

I'm in for whatever was decided.

Has anyone let The Bunghole know we are coming?

just finished decanting the ports :D all smells, looks, tastes fine. :wink:

two corks of the halves and the one of the 82 are broken, so replaced them with old champagne corks (must be old Bolly RD 79 and 83, I think :) )

Have not spoken to the Bunghole yet; wanted to ask the same; can you call them please or should I do the honors?

The Bung Hole is putting us in the function room: ‟We have some Japanese dignitaries in the restaurant so it is best that you are somewhere else”.
