Please do post pictures of bottles in the TN threads, as has just been done for • Andresen, • Noval, • Churchill, • Martinez, and • Ramos Pinto.

Mayday, mayday, we have a problem! Whilst I have the W85 try as I might I have not been able to locate the bottle of SW85 that I'd swear I have somewhere. My apologies for this- I can offer a likely poor substitute in the form of Harvey's 85 but is anyone able to plug the gap left by my poor cellar management at this late stage?

Axel wanted the Symington brands, so it would be better to have SW than to substitute. Ian: you should send a PM to Tom.

Woo-woo: please post a food order.
Flash: please inform B&F, including need for more glasses.
Ian, Tom: who is bringing the SW? Do we need to arrange a substitute shipper?
Placemats have been updated.

Thank you for the floater. Placemats have been amended.By PM [url=http://www.theportforum.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=9630]idj123[/url] wrote:Tom has indicated that he should have some to hand and to assume as much unless he advises otherwise. For my failure to deliver (and with Mr Doty now in attendance) I am more than happy to bring the Harvey's as a 'floater'.
And CPR sent pictures of the bottles of Dow and Quarles Harris.

Re: 1985 horizontal: Wed 25th Nov 2015, B&F
lovely lovely.
My order is Tom's, but with bernaise rather than peppercorn, please.
No SW 85, sadly, but think I may have 1.5s of Dow and Graham at Seckfords if we can free them in time. please advise

Sorry to miss you again. I shall look forward to the latest "Doty-ism" in the review thread. I will be represented tomorrow by a bottle of M. Gonzalez 1985 which is making its way to the B&F today.
I may have my own mini 1985 at home tomorrow in virtual parallel as I am 'home alone'!
Cheers

Noon-ish decanting of Andresen (imperfect); Noval (imperfect); and three fine-seeming, Churchill, Martinez, and Ramos Pinto.
Re: 1985 horizontal: Wed 25th Nov 2015, B&F
Has an advance party made it to the B&F yet? I'm probably 60 mins away...
Re: 1985 horizontal: Wed 25th Nov 2015, B&F
How is the pouring and decanting going?
