Ian - your steak didn't specify how you want it. You'll need to tell them on arrival.

As discussed, a different pattern for each of the wine groups would be good.

Done. Not loved by me.

I've also added suggested abbreviations to the list on the first post.

Done.

Many thanks. I'll print.

Printing done.
Bottles already in London.
Reds will be decanted luchtime-ish on Monday.
Julian thirsty.
Think we're all ready to go.

We’re all thirsty…

By chance I am also out for lunch, for work reasons, with people who will be driving afterwards, so will likely arrive even thirstier.

Thank you to Neil for the organisation and for supplying virtually all of the wines. Neil, a treatment to your ability to defer gratification that surprisingly few of those were the last bottle of those wines that you had! Ian, thank you for the excellent impromptu bottle of Sandeman 1966. Julian, thank you for the wonderful Fonseca 1966 - absolutely stonking port, completely seamless.
