I would prefer not to reveal as mine is a novelty as much as (hopefully) pleasant drinking.

And it allows me to change my mind at the last minute.

Two more slots. Volunteers?

I would like to still come along, but until I move to Dorset cash flow is all tied up, so I would need to not have the dinner and just contribute to service. If that is okay, then I could offer a Niepoort 2005 as a comparison bottle or find something older if prefered. If you would rather have the space for a full participant, I totally understand and free up my seat.

I can bring a GC83.

More than happy to bring something along, how about a Passadouro 92 or 00 or if preferred a Ni 00?

You’re in. No need for the Niepoort 2005, but if you have a spare Niepoort that matches the vintages of one of the Broadbents I would accept that.




We have enough. One more, either a Ni matching a Bb, or something with age, would be welcome but is not necessary.

Working food order. Any deviations from usual?

Jörgen, Sten, Stefan: food orders please, from the Boot & Flogger menu.

Alex: ditto please.

I have emailed Bart requesting same.

I won’t be able to be there properly early. Is anybody will to volunteer to take charge of early decanting?

And of printing of the placemats?

Thank you.

---

Bart:
• Chapel and Swan oak smoked salmon, horseradish crème fraîche, capers
• Heirloom tomato risotto, roast carrots, lemon, parsley V

I should be able to print the placemats, but will also not be super early (I don't think, at the moment).

Please could I have no starter, sirloin steak (medium rare) with a bearnaise sauce.

What's a gratin potato and can I have chips instead?

We hope this will not cause any problems and that we can cancel our participation. We hope you have a very nice tasting.

Unfortunately cannot make it. But will be with Dirk tasting my "missing" Broadbents side by side with the Niepoorts.

Have fun

Please may my choices, below, be added to the food order:

Starter - none.

Main - Gammon with everything including black pudding. Chips are preferred to skinny fries.

Savoury - the “Super extra cheesy plus plus more cheesy Welsh rarebit”, if possible.

Thanks,

Food order updated.

Everybody: It’s your job to check. if you don’t check, and you don’t like, it’s your fault not mine.

It is still uncertain as to whether I can attend, and not looking positive; suggest you move me to reserve and I will add at last minute if able.

Wrong starter; but probably irrelevant if I can't make it.

In case you can make it — I hope so — please tell me the correct starter.

Thanks.

Irayna Dean would like to join us please.

For dinner Irayna would like Smoked Salmon starter; 220g sirloin (medium rare) as main and (normal) Welsh Rarebit for savoury, no dessert.

If there is space may I join? If not happy to go onto the reserve list and await a last minute space.

You are in.

Both the food order and the placemats have been updated.

I hope to be there at about 17.30 following a Zac handover. I had hoped to be earlier to be able to help set up, but if there are last minute duties I should be there to assist.

I like the order of "heretically normal" welsh rarebit for Irayna

Thank you. Let me know if I need to bring a bottle. I have no Niepoort to match the Broadbent vintages.

Please remind me, am I bringing an extra bottle? Am I bringing my bottle of Broadbent 1994?
