I think I can make the date work too. Thank you for making the arrangements for the tasting which will hopefully happen.
Re: Churchill Tasting, 1st March 2022
Now confirmed for Tuesday 1st March @ B&F, Red Room. Let's assume kick-off at 1900.
The Churchill Grahams have confirmed attendance.
Can those previously confirmed for an unknown May date please reconfirm that they are available for this new date.

Re: Churchill Tasting, 1st March 2022
Reconfirming, will double check bottles tomorrow, but have Ch 1985
Re: Churchill Tasting, 1st March 2022
Yes please — Tuesday 01 March 2022 works for me.
Re: Churchill Tasting, 1st March 2022 - URGENT
Right, need final confirmations please. If you haven’t already confirmed for 1st March please do so. I’ll start giving places away to the reserves later this week.
I’m also now sorting out the bottles and will confirm what I need from people shortly. If you haven’t already indicated what you have to offer please do so now.
It looks like we haven’t got any of the Fojos or early Agua Alta, or the 2003 and 2007 VPs. I’m going to see if the Churchills can help with any of these.

Re: Churchill Tasting, 1st March 2022
This one snuck up quickly! I assume we're going ahead with the Grahams in attendance, although the chatter on here has been a little quieter than the 85s thread. Neil, are we good to go? Which wines would you like us to bring?

Re: Churchill Tasting, 1st March 2022
Apologies everyone, I’m going to have to drop out of this tasting. I have a pretty full-on week next week and this would be too much of a squeeze.

Re: Churchill Tasting, 1st March 2022
Sorry, been quiet. Will confirm all the details and bottles required tomorrow. Am checking with guests that they're still coming.
Re: Churchill Tasting, 1st March 2022
Just heard from the Churchills. They are supplying a number of bottles at a discounted cost:
2003 & 2007 VP
1987 Agua Alta
1984, 1986, 1989 Fojo
So, plenty of bottles to adopt.
Looks like there might be spaces, so if you’re on the reserve list please confirm availability. I’ll sort out remaining details tomorrow.

Re: Churchill Tasting, 1st March 2022
Current draft of the placemats.
(The placemats for the previous Churchill tasting, on 06 Feb 2013, used Helvetica and Times. An email today from the Churchill office “suggest[ed] using the Helvetica font”, so Helvetica is being used, with Times.)
I have the ’85, but if it is preferred that I adopt, then I will do as instructed.

Re: Churchill Tasting, 1st March 2022
Confirming. I still have the ChG05 and ChG09, but provided costs aren't prohibitive I could adopt if we'd prefer to stick to full VP.
Re: Churchill Tasting, 1st March 2022
Two spaces are now available.
IDJ - you're in.
Will - short notice, but are you available? Can you let me know ASAP please.
Ben - if Will isn't available then you're in.

I have made arrangements to ensure the children will not be abandoned if I get lucky.....
