Re: 83@40 2023 - May 25th
I would need to adopt a bottle if there is a orphaned one still needing a home?
Happy to take one from you Tom; Cockburn, Gould Campbell, Graham, Quarles Harris, Taylor or Warre?
Cheers

Tom - I think we need to assume that Moses (MB) is not going to make it for the tasting. He would be flying in from Boston and hasn't confirmed that he'll be able to make it over in time.

First post updated to show who is bringing what.
People who are adopting, please choose one of the bottles offered for adoption by Tom. It doesn't matter which you choose, just choose the one you'd like to be at the tasting.

B&F tell me that the Duck liver pate starter is now discontinued.
As we are down to 12 by the looks it, I'll work towards a 16 bottle event, 17 if Moses makes it over.
Matching people's handles to their initials on the attendance list is a little challenging - does anyone have a cross reference spreadsheet they can email me?

There are 5 bottles already at the B&F. 4 people are bringing nominated bottles. We require 7 more bottles to bring the total to 16.
Neil has offered Calem in addition to Fonseca.
You have offered to bring a further 6 bottles for adoption by the 7 people wanting to adopt. Perhaps Neil's Calem could be the 7th bottle needed?

Tom - are you OK summarising the food orders or would you like some assistance with doing so?

Added to first post, a draft of the placemats. Somebody please check carefully.
I don’t know who is adopting what, so have entirely omitted such detail.

I'll adopt Graham if I may!
Re: 83@40 2023 - May 25th
I’ve sought permission from SWMBO. If granted, please could I be the 14th? Probably easiest if I pay £, rather than officially adopting a bottle.
