This could be a deal breaker. I will reflect and get back to you.

Yes I think this is not an occasion for dieting. You'll want to have dinner with us at the O&C too, as André rightly says.

Does anyone want to buy my ticket (£85) for Thursday 27th?

If there are no takers by the end of this week I will return it to BBR.
Probably too late but if this is still available I would happily take it off your hands.

I'm under the impression that 'the Owen question' decided DRT in favour of coming after all.

If there is space at dinner as well that would be perfect.

According to Berry's website, both of these tastings are now sold out with waiting lists for any returns.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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

Owen: please sir, by what signs can you be reliably recognised? (And don’t say “by a fur coat and four paws”.)

I suspect that he may arrive with me, and André; that has been mooted, at least. And I will be arriving with your ticket (although I could bring it to the Mz the night before).

Thank you Daniel, I shall indeed be on your's and Andre's arm should that be acceptable to you both. Julian, you need only look for the one with the glossiest coat, twinkling eyes and wet nose. I may wear my diamanté collar.

This is fine for me. Do you have any suggestions as to which side Daniel and I should be on? Do you want my left or right arm?

One each end of the stretcher would be fine.

What was that someone said a while ago about this forum being indexed for posterity by the British Library?

A reminder that anyone coming for dinner after the Port Walk will need to be wearing jacket and tie (and collared shirt and trousers and smart shoes and have their flies done up and...have I missed anything?)
