I have before, many times before, made last minute changes to placemats. But never before such slaughter.

People and bottles removed; tasting re-titled. Please would one of the survivors check.

We have gone from A3 to A4. Three glasses work with SideBySideGlassesTastingNotes, which is effectively A5 for each. E.g.:

I'm gutted to be droping out. The Boris has spoken, the wife has listened and the rest is history!

PS i was going to bring the loo roll too.

Strange times.

Am about to decant the Graham but what about the Niepoort?

There was an earlier message asking for not Niepoort. Wait and I’ll find.

Edit: found.

PS: droplets rearranged on placemats, now inspired by the vision of a man coughing.

Excellent. I shall bring F & T.

Delay decanting until Ian acknowledges.

Sorry - do we agree that T preferable to Ni?

OK - off to unleash the corkscrew.

Am in the office tomorrow, so will still print the placemats, etc.

T & F both decanted at 2200ish. Surprisingly large amount of sediment, particularly from the F.

Per official guidelines, Wiseman household self-isolating. You know what I’d prefer.

RP decanted about 7am. Surprisingly little sediment, just lots of fine sludge.

Dow decanted Monday evening around 5pm.

Paperwork printed.

Graham decanted at 10pm yesterday-all looked good. Coming into Town from home today but should be there before 6.30.

Could we have suggestions from non-attendees of topics that we can discuss tonight which aren't COVID-19 related?

Port?

How long do the producers need to starve the market of new VP production to clear the historical excess, and force secondary market prices above release prices?

2000 vintage prices are still about 40% below release prices, in real terms, without taking into account storage costs.

After two decades of supply starvation, the strategy still isn't working..

The British government can borrow for 50 years at an interest rate of about 1%. What are the good long-term investments for which the government should borrow?
