1977 Napa? I will try to arrive early…

Me too!

[jdaw1]

The the placemats have been added to the first post.

@ Julian - is the N actually Ni? I can’t remember my abbreviations.

@ Julian - is the N actually Ni? I can’t remember my abbreviations.

Yes.
N = (Quinta do) Noval
Ni = Niepoort

Ni77 and Ni77c (assuming colheita not garrafeira which would be Ni77g)

[PhilW]

I suspect that the Offley will also be Offley Boa Vista, OBV77 rather than O77, though Offley/OBV often (if not always) effectively synonymous.

[PhilW]

Additionally, the circle-text for BBR is currently "Berry Bros & Rudd Selection" where in fact the brand is "Berry's Own Selection" as produced by "Berry Bros. & Rudd" (note the period also). Admittedly we didn't help ourselves here by choosing the abbreviation BBR per bottler rather than the brand name, but it is what we are familiar with (and perhaps more recognisable). Suggest either:
"Berry's Own Selection" per the actual brand, or
"Berry Bros. & Rudd" correcting punctuation, or
"Berry Bros. & Rudd's Selection" as equivalent pseudo-brand (with corrected punctuation and grammar).

Yes.

Done.

Done.

"Berry's Own Selection" per the actual brand

Done.

correcting punctuation

The text did have a dot, placed as BBR themselves place it. (Picture from previous version, not this one.)

I don’t believe that “correcting punctuation” is quite worthy of a dawn duel in New Jersey, but it cannot be far shy of it.

In a recent Dr Who episode they returned to June 2024, and behold screen grab. The Time Lords knew that this was going to happen.



Luckily, the stairs at the B&F are Dalek-proof.

Abbreviations.

Has Martin done his spreadsheet wizardry and allocated who is bringing what?

Has Martin done his spreadsheet wizardry and allocated who is bringing what?

Yes the first post has been updated

However I am not sure the placemats fully reflect this as there is a QH on the placemats but not on the bottle list and Alex is due to due to bring 'M' but this is not on the placemats

Yes and ‘M’ is on the bottle list but not the placemats as far as I can see.

My error; sackcloth and ashes.

Hello Everybody .....

I believe I have updated the first post with all the bottles now .....

Julian would you be so kind as to squeeze the last bottles into the placements for us ?

[PhilW]

Yes and ‘M’ is on the bottle list but not the placemats as far as I can see.

Possibly because we don't know what 'M' is?
It might be Morgan (Mg), Martinez (Mz), Martha (Mt), Mackenzie (Mk), Messias (Ms) or possibly something else; Martin?

[MigSU]

Maynard's?

I believe it should be Morgan - Mg - Martin / Alex please confirm

[mcoulson]

Hello ... I've added the missing 'g'

[Christopher]

[mcoulson]

Are you hypothesising Mackenzie 1977 and Martinez 1977 before or after consulting the book? As for Martha, well, tut tut.

In a few days the placemats will be updated, after a small improvement to the software is done.

[Alex Bridgeman]

OK. Good.

I need to go and find the Morgan 1977 tomorrow.
