Updated draft of the placemats; pictures in first post.
• “Nigel ?.”? And initials?
• Even less known of Ben P.’s guest: name and initials please.
• Somebody please check, carefully.

And there is a question about a port brand abbreviation:

The quinta, but not any wines, are on the Fonseca website. “Guimararens Quinta do Cruzeiro”? “Fonseca Quinta do Cruzeiro”? FC? (There is Fc = Fletcher.)

@ flash - I am keenly awaiting the report on your Croft 82. I have had it five times. And every time it has been an undrinkable. It is the obverse of the Croft 91 for my money.

There's a fair chance it will be similar to this Croft 1982, as it is from the same case :D

This question might yet cause a change to the placemats (candidates: FC, FGC, GuC, GiC).

Some possibilities:
- I don't have a facebook account...do you need to be logged in to view it?
- perhaps both Tom/Alex have previously clicked the link and the content is stored in their browser cache, but has now been removed from the original page
- something else that I can't think of
