Unfortunately, (re this event), I shall be back at our place in Spain.
Thank you for thinking of me folks.

Re: Small 1966 Horizontal on 22 of April
Just checking my cellar, there is no need for duplicates..
I have plenty of Rebello Valente and Offley, and a few bottles of Gould Campbell, amongst others..

My attendance is confirmed. What am I bringing? Am I still adopting AHB's Noval?

THRA is bringing Quinta do Noval, but has others available for adoption. I’m hoping that you choose to adopt his Gould Campbell.djewesbury wrote:My attendance is confirmed. What am I bringing? Am I still adopting AHB's Noval?

Re: Small 1966 Horizontal on 22 of April
There appear to be seats still available and Tom has already offered either the Offley or the Rebello Valente for adoption. Drop Tom an email or a PM to organise something.SushiNorth wrote:Oh very nice, another tasting while i'm in London -- are there seats left? How about adoptions?

I (Mike) will bring Graham. Or rather, Tom is bringing my Graham for me (thank you Tom).

Re: Small 1966 Horizontal on 22 of April
Are the shippers on the placemats just organised alphabetically? I'm surprised, and, if I'm honest, even a little disappointed. I had thought a more complex relational theme would be employed.

Re: Small 1966 Horizontal on 22 of April
Please could we be told about who will be bringing pre-decanted, and what bottles will need my attention. I have my W66, and will decant it at about lunchtime. Who has AP’s D66? How are other bottles arriving?Axel P wrote:Participants (and bottles):
- AP (Dow);

Re: Small 1966 Horizontal on 22 of April
Having done a search for 1966 VPs not on the list of 9 above, and within striking distance of my lodging in London, it appears that there is nothing available. If adoption is available, it would be quite nice to spend the evening with everyone, but I have not heard back on the subject.

Re: Small 1966 Horizontal on 22 of April
Sounds like Tom has Rebello Valente or Offley available.. if he's contactable.. I did hear from him today but I get the impression he is very busy with his pub project...SushiNorth wrote:Having done a search for 1966 VPs not on the list of 9 above, and within striking distance of my lodging in London, it appears that there is nothing available.

Re: Small 1966 Horizontal on 22 of April
Indeed - a multitude of learning curves that runs from kitchen ventilation requirements, via listed building consent rules, the cost of solid oak floorboards through to how new urinals are fixed to the wall..but I get the impression he is very busy with his pub project...
Bottles I bring will all be pre-decanted as usual. I think the Offley and Rebello Valente are still available for adoption.

Re: Small 1966 Horizontal on 22 of April
For Josh’s adoption RV has been picked by me — of course subject to JES and THRA announcing otherwise.In the first post, jdaw1 (using editing powers) wrote:Current draft of the placemats.
Coming decanted: F (by IDJ); G and GC and N and RV (by THRA); S (by DRT); W (by JDAW).
As yet unstated: D (AP’s); Ni (EDN’s); T (AHB’s).
So decanting duties will be slight. And nine people is few enough not to pre-pour. Easy peasy lemon squeasy.
(Post edited to include pre-decanting announcements below.)
Re: Small 1966 Horizontal on 22 of April
The F70 will arrive decanted (whhich I will have to undertake in the morning).
