The first post claims that NAC also has SW00.Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑10:22 Wed 22 Apr 2026Rather than get my case of SW00 out of bond to take a single bottle to this tasting, I've ordered a bottle from Davy's stocks - it's available in the shop but isn't on the wine list at the Boot & Flogger so it will be a special order.
Thank you, Alex. Sorry for the hassle here!Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑10:22 Wed 22 Apr 2026 I've made an executive decision. Rather than get my case of SW00 out of bond to take a single bottle to this tasting, I've ordered a bottle from Davy's stocks - it's available in the shop but isn't on the wine list at the Boot & Flogger so it will be a special order.
Monica should be able to confirm tomorrow if there are any issues, but since SW00 is available on the Davy's website she doesn't expect there to be a problem.
My QH00 has been removed from its resting place and is now standing upright and attentive...
I'd like to amend my food order slightly please. I'll replace the carrots for a side of chunky creamed sweetcorn!Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑22:36 Sun 19 Apr 2026 No starter
Main: 3 sausage and mash - but with skinny fries instead of mash. Side of roasted carrots.
No dessert.
Please may I add the new chunky creamed sweetcorn.Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑16:32 Fri 24 Apr 2026I'd like to amend my food order slightly please. I'll replace the carrots for a side of chunky creamed sweetcorn!

Both QH and BBR 77s. Sorry if it's a faff with the placemats...M.Charlton wrote: ↑21:57 Sun 19 Apr 2026Excellent news.

Requires a re-think of the layout of the placemats, but of course we want it.M.Charlton wrote: ↑21:29 Sun 19 Apr 2026If we want a 19th(!) bottle, I'll bring the QHBBR77 as I can't imagine opening it in more appropriate company anytime soon. In the absence of a positive reply, I will not bring it.

Thank you, Julian - these look great. I checked carefully, and the only thing I noticed is that some people have stars in the top right hand corner of their TN sheets (IDJ, NAC, MPM), one person is lucky enough that their stars are aligned (NAC), and some people have no stars (MC, BRP, JDF, AHB, HTWH, JDAW, MSC, CPR, MJRM). I'm sure everyone will be able to muddle through nonetheless.jdaw1 wrote: ↑23:25 Fri 24 Apr 2026These have been updated.
