Re: 2003 Horizontal - 2025 date TBC
Thanks, all. As a majority have now indicated 18 March 2025 is acceptable, I’ll contact the B&F to get this booked in. Once done, I’ll update the first post with the reference.

Re: 2003 Horizontal - 2025 date TBC
Wouldn’t hurt to do a 2003 horizontal now that it has reached 21 years of age. Indeed, though I've only just taken my first 94 case from storage, so if others are in a similar position I suspect we might not have convenient access to many yet. Good point! Maybe we pencil something in for 2025 and g...

Thank you, Julian.
The placemats have been printed. I aim to be at the B&F tomorrow at around 1630/1700 to get things set up.
Very much looking forward to this one!

Please send me any specific food orders by 22 September. I'll send the order to the B&F on 23 September, so absent any specific requests you will receive your default order (or, order on the night if you do not have a default order).
Cheers.

Re: 50 Year Old Tawnies - 1 October 2024
HTWH be removed. My standing orders are to include Harry in everything: either he is coming, and comes; or he’s not coming, and comes anyway. Hence not done. Please confirm now good. Oh I see - makes sense! All looks good, bar Messias being “MS” instead of “Ms” (massive pedantry on show I’m afraid)...

Re: Port brand abbreviations
My understanding is that “VALLEGRE” is used as the brand for table wines. See —> https://www.vallegre.pt/conteudos/produtos/default.aspx?pg=1&idcont=16&title=vallegre&idioma=en And that “VISTA ALEGRE” is used as the brand for Port wines. See —> https://www.vallegre.pt/conteudos/produtos/...
