This event falls in the middle of the planned railway strike, which I suspect will go ahead. Assuming this is the case, then I'll be unable to get into London on Thursday & back home on Friday. Guess that others will be similarly impacted? I'll leave it a few more days before making a final dec...

JohninNYC

Greetings all! I hope everyone is dong well. Please add me on as 1 person for Thurs 23 June. I will be back in London. I would also like to adopt a bottle.

Hi. I too would like to adopt a bottle from someone UNLESS I just pay whatever $ contribution for the wine is determined.

JohninNYC

Please let me know the date. My schedule is open right now for any of those dates so pls count me in!

JohninNYC

I am OK with most other Fri/Sat as well. As per Sept, 20/21 work best for me, but if others find a different weekend works better, I so far can make it.

JohninNYC

Works for me.

Hello. As you can see, I have adopted the Offley '66. I am bringing a guest, and he would like to know what he can adopt. So: 1. Does anyone have a another bottle to adopt? If so, for how much and which kind? (Last I checked, I think there was something for roughly 45 Quid. 2. Whoever is keeping cou...

JohninNYC

Thanks! Interestingly, I noticed it the same time it showed I was at 98% capacity with my mailbox, so I had thought it was associated with that. Anyway, I've been getting all of the messages, and vice versa to those i've written to. = all good! Thanks again

JohninNYC

Hi. I noticed that some of the e-mails I am trying to send out are ending up in Outbox instead of Sent folder. I emptied my mailbox a little and resent those messages, but they still go to the Outbox. What am I still forgetting to do? Thanks.

JohninNYC

Update: I am adopting a bottle of '66 Offley from Uncle Tom. Thanks Tom, looking forward to seeing you on the 27th!

JohninNYC

Uncle Tom - I just sent you a PM as well. Thanks in advance

JohninNYC

Hi! I'm looking forward to seeing you all on the 27th. I still need to adopt a bottle.

Does anyone have anything to bring, which I would pay you the money for?

If by chance nobody has a bottle to sell me, I will, of course, pay cash to the group to cover the financial aspect of my share.

Thanks.

JohninNYC

This was an excellent pairing, and it was a great benefit to have the winemakers tell us about the winemaking process and the history behind the wines. I also wish to thank G-Man for organizing the dinner!

JohninNYC

Thanks! See you all soon.

JohninNYC

Greetings all! Please count me in for this. I looked up the address of this place, but not sure I found the same. (Might have changed names?). Anyway, can someone please provide the address. Also, what are some bottles available for adoption? (or I could chip in - whatever works best for the tasting...
