[CPR 1]

Duck liver pate please

Attendee list updated - just 12 of us. Tried to get a Symington to join us, but unfortunately none available.

Now sorted. Thank you Charles.

Updated draft of the placemats; updated images in the first post.

Somebody please check carefully.

Standard for me please;
Starter - crab
Main - rare ribeye steak, peppercorn sauce, chips, green beans
Desert- Welsh rarebit

If I understand correctly my Cockburn (with no provenance to speak of) won't be required?

Food order has already gone in & as mentioned above crab starter no longer available. Have left yours as "Order on the night".
Correct - Cockburn not required.

Yes, please. A fascinating theme. I have 1970 and 1994 Dow as well as 1994 Graham. None of it was released in 2021 nor did it repose in (or presumably under) Blenheim Palace.

Will - are you still coming?
I've put your food order down as "to be ordered on the night".

Somebody please check carefully.

A couple of issues:
- Ck70(UK stored) says Dow instead of Cockburn in its circle text.
- D70(Blenheim) should be MPM not NAC
Additionally noting that Harry is included an attendee but not currently attending, but understand this is deliberate.

Careless of me. Sorry. Thank you for finding. Believed fixed.

Placemats are good. Like the matrix.
I'm in the office tomorrow, so will print then.

[winesecretary]

Much looking forward to this. Neil, thank you for arranging supplying and printing, and, Julian, thank you for placematting.

[Bertie3000]

Very much looking forward to this as well.
Neil - any advice on Blenheim Cockburn 1970 decant time as you may well have tried one already? Thanks

I'd suggest two hours of air time before it goes back into the bottle.

Placemats printed.
Also very much looking forward to this.

For avoidance of doubt, Ben is expected to attend!

So, an unusual offer...

I have a quince tree in my garden.
Still working through the quince jam made from crop last year.
Have loads of quince now.
Any takers?

Can bring on Tuesday.

Make tons of marmalade. It keeps well. They're also good sliced and put in the oven with brown sugar/honey and cinnamon.

Planning to open the Blenheim Dow 1970 around 9am and decant, then return to original bottle around 11am.

BBR Dow 1970

[PhilW]

Warre 1970, Wine Society bottling.
Decanted 07:30.

[nac]

Heads up on costs for tonight.
For 8 of the bottles tonight I know what they cost, for the others I've assumed a supply cost of £100 per bottle (which is close to the average of the 8).
If you've not been asked to supply a bottle your cost (for wines) is going to be somewhere around £110. If you are supplying a bottle then your cost will be reduced. I'll confirm what's owed later.

If the £100 is too low let me know.

[nac]

Aiming to get there around 1730.

ETA tonight will be around 1830
