Yes, I’m aware of Julian event on 9th. I have spoken to Julian and if you have already agreed to attend his event but would like to change this one then he is very happy for you to. you can attend both as well.
Time: 12:30, for bottle opening. happy to add people for just the evening if there is space, i will prioritise those that can make the lunchtime onwards.
Location: Boot & Flogger (Green Room booked but can change to Red)
Theme: Decanting Experiment
My idea (current plan) is to open either 1 or 2 tappit hens and decant them into 3 different type of decanters each, so 6 different in total, and then see how the port develops over time in each one. check after every hour and then maybe half an hour when the room views it ready. Depending on numbers there will be some extra wines to keep us going as we go along. the extra wines will be self pour.
The goal of the event,
Is to see if there is any difference in each type of decanter to the decanting time and if possible as a bonus find the optimum time in a decanter for the wine.
as this is about decanters, the voting will be types of decanter and not wine of the night. this is not about which is the best port. hopefully having some nice port to go with this idea will make it more enjoyable.
Costs: only food and NO one is to bring a bottle without clearing it with me first. I would be incredibly surprised if you go dry!! these are bottles that i want to open and enjoy with others.
We are already at Quorum with 2 of us confirmed.
