Talk about anything but keep it polite and reasonably clean.

Perhaps we include it so that we can rinse the decanters?

Organising Tastings and Get-togethers? I had forgotten that it wasn’t there. Sure.
I think we should allow the thread initiator 24 hours to object.

No no no. He might object and then where would we be?

Feel free to act. I'm off to bed in the knowledge that we are one bottle closer to running out of Morgan 91.

If I'm going to be there (which I just may consider for this humble tasting) the 1975 will have to be 'in'.

Does that constitute a quorum?
And then we was robbed! Only 106 Taylors. We will need that magnum of 1985.
Please explain the term "amigos" and who may hold status "mother superior" as you use it?! ( As referenced in your constitution)

An ‘amigos’ is a down-in-one, with obvious meaning of the verb form.

And I don’t think that Article Thirty-two has yet been tested in court.

Any thoughts about placemat design? This is the best I can do without my computer melting down whilst trying to generate the PDF, but it would require an A2 printer!

Come to Los Angeles and everyone will be your "amigo" and will give you a "mother superior" while releaving you of your wallet while pointing a "saturday night special" at you :lol: :lol:

Placemats: use the GlassesOnSheets parameter to split the glasses over many A4 pages.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t generate the contents of that parameter with a single regex, so I took the path of least resistance and substituted 2 for 4 in the /PaperType parameter :)

Incidentally, there doesn’t seem to be an equivalent function to split the tasting notes over more than one sheet!

I am definitely in on this one. Who is wearing the organisational hat? We definitely need a frame for this tasting. I am fully open to everything involved though not being able to contribute anything else than some connections to the house and all the following VPs.

T: 83, 85,92, 94, 97, 00 full and Mg., 03 half and full
T V V: 00
T TF: 88, 99, 05
T V: 91 Half and Full, 95, 96, 05

I suppose we keep it on our side of the ocean???

The vintages I listed above are located in the UK. Yes, this is a UK-located tasting.

If this is turning into a serious attempt at organising a non-serious Taylor vertical, perhaps the non-serious attempt at organising a serious vertical ought to be split somewhere more appropriate?

On the serious point, is it worth baring in mind that there’s a Vargellas vertical in March and the ‟square” tasting in November, both of which might write-off quite a lot of mature Taylor bottles?

Hmm!hadn’t explored that one (and I’m afraid I can’t quite work out how that parameter works)!but glad to see that all eventualities are catered for!

See A Taylor vertical, quite large.

This thread moved to Meaningless Drivel. Silliness in this thread thereby encouraged. But in the A Taylor vertical, quite large thread, strongly discouraged.
