Food order is complete with the exception of Zak ....

Usual practice for me is morning decant, into cool decanter, kept cool by ice packs. But I’m bringing a Graham LBV (bot. 2001), as donated by Harry, and likewise a Tesco 1995 doesn’t need a twelve-hour decant. I propose: • 7am for the Warre Cavadinha 1995, and kept cool; • After lunch (so in my off...

That was from the batch we got ?

mcoulson

Had a croft 55 and a Fonseca crusting 73 yesterday evening as a minor buntingford emergency with help from a couple of friends.

The croft got better and better the crusting started a bit alcoholic then turned out nice but collapsed by the end of the evening

mcoulson

Yesterday I enjoyed a W63 with some friends ... and it was jolly nice ....

mcoulson

food looks great as well .....

I also have a guest I'd like to bring along .... His name is Josh Morris Lowe and he will be adopting from Michael

mcoulson

What an excellent thread .... thank you everybody for your input especially Zak as always with a painfully interesting deep tech post !!! Meanwhile .... I have a room the size of a garage - it's got rack down either side and more Celotex than I care to imagine so it is thermally very stable - takes ...

‘Vintage Port that you would like to drink if you had not Vintage Port for 7 months’.

I believe the line up fits the theme perfectly

mcoulson

I'll print if Julian manages to produce some kind of placemats .... There is now a draft of the placemats ; pictures in the first post It will be an ordinary working day for me, so ETA ≈6pm. Martin: pls take charge of setup. Will do ... been some time since I've been the responsible adult .....

Hummm ... ok thats a hard act to follow ..... So I'll bring a F63 from the same case as last time and I'll bring something else determined by whats to hand when I remove the F63 from the cellar .... I'm worried we will run out of stuff to drink ..... food wise can I have salmon and then filet steak ...

mcoulson

Excellent post Zak ... Very entertaining and worth your time doing it .... I note you appear to be assuming that Julian will be there to apply the rules ... Note sure what our policy should be for stand in people !

I could also change my will to donate bottles to the event if I don't make it !
