Churchill Tasting, 1st March 2022

[akzy]

Presuming my ChG09 isn't wanted over VP. Please pair me up for an adoption!

[nac]

The bottles and associated providers are:

The CGs - 2003 & 2007 VP; 1987 Agua Alta; 1984, 1986 & 1989 Fojo
NAC - 1985, 1991, 1994 & 1997 VP
GEAG - 2000 VP; 1992 & 1998 Agua Alta
SCD - 1995 Agua Alta
tbc - 1982 VP

I believe this is 15 bottles which feels sufficient?

If you're providing bottles please PM or email me associated costs. Once I have all I'll advise the per head cost.

I believe I only have the 85 and 2011, both of which are in storage and so it looks as though I will need to adopt.

Not a problem as effectively most people are adopting.

Thank you. Fixed.

Two spaces are now available.
IDJ - you're in.
Will - short notice, but are you available? Can you let me know ASAP please.
Ben - if Will isn't available then you're in.

Haven't seen anything from Will, so Ben is promoted from the bench.

Suspect they'll be some further changes for attendees, but I'm in the office on Tuesday morning so will print then.

1982 has just arrived - bottle looks in good condition. Level is base of neck.

I'm intending to double decant the bottles I'm bringing on Monday evening.

I've just been made aware that there will be a tube strike on Tuesday. I still plan on attending but may need to leave early to ensure I make my trip back to Bristol.
