Thanks for the update, and for providing an adoptable bottle Tom.
I'll now be bringing Rebello Valente 1966.
I'd also like to bring my wife (non-drinker), that she won't have to spend the night & dinner alone in a foreign city. Would that be acceptable>

All week she has been trying to shake you off, to have a party evening without the husband. Foiled again!

Bung Hole called; 120 glasses booked.

Excellent, the 2011? Fancy trying that. I see it's at the BFT too. And it'll be good to see you at the table in the Bung Hole.

Christopher: splendid. Tom has an Offley available, so I'll add you for that. But you please ask him directly. And thank you for the Niepoort Crusted (when bottled?).

Twelve bottles, eleven people: more glasses needed. I'm in a basement without phone reception: please somebody call to up the request to 150.

Can everyone please advise if his bottles will be properly decanted on scene or prior to the event?

Thanks

Also, CMAG wants a guest. I will phone the Bung Hole Tuesday morning to ask for extra glasses. If that doesn’t work then, well, then something.

Just talked to Dirk and his son Daniel, they would like to come, too and bring Constantino and NIepoort.

Is there space enough to host 14?

Thanks again, Julian

Sure. Is he also EDN?

People just don’t want to tell me things before reserving the correct number of glasses, do they.

Now we are definitely pre-pouring. So early arrival of bottles would greatly help. As would a helper, on parade with me at 16:30. Please?

Thanks a lot for organising! When reading this thread I was laughing since it is very similar to a story of late arrival and jumping on the band waggon....

There is much pouring to be done in a small space. Obviously that would be more difficult if most bottles arrive after 6pm. Please can bottles arrive earlier—meaning your bottles, not just everybody else’s.

For various reasons to do with logistics, my Taylor will be arriving decanted but it and I will not be arriving much before 6:30pm.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Tom is bringing my Graham 66, but I have a work dinner starting at 7 which I will be ducking out of at the earliest opportunity. So should be with you all by 9 at the latest. I can help pour at 4.30 if that helps? And can print if that also helps.
