Wonderful. Non-port is accepted. Non-fortified is even accepted.

So long as you can say there's some 93 in it (or provide a entertaining enough lie) yes.

I'm planning on bring

1993, Remi Rollin, Pernand Vergelesses, Magnum
1993, Louis Jadot, Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots, Magnum

there is a little risk with Red Burgundy of this age but hopefully they will be fun as they are in Mag.

My only 1993 is German - Querbach, Oestricher Lenchen Riesling Spatlese Halbtrocken - so will bring that. Don't have high hopes.

I did have a magnum of 1993 Bordeaux (Grand Listrac) but previously donated it to Zak...

Sorry to hear Tony. I suspect we're going to be ok for bottles so don't feel the urge to donate.

As the list has 8 (with only 6 confirmed with food orders), I've told the B&F so we may get assigned a smaller room. If someone is able to directly reach Ian or pommy to nudge them, that would be excellent.

Apologies for my tardiness Zak but just to reconfirm that I will be attending along with a bottle of Quinoa do Mourao 30 year Tawny (plus I will have Tony’s bottle-above).

As for food order:
Truffle Mac n cheese
Steak mushroom and claret pie with fries (looks like it comes with green beans)

Thanks!

No worries. I'm considering my bottles as donations and with Tony's bottle, I can just put you down for an adoption. How do you want your steak cooked?

I've put in a preliminary placemat on the first page. Quite tricky when very few wines have previous placemat precedence. Relatively easy to change things if requested.
Please can someone check? Additionally, may someone print?

This is fine. Please can you provide their initials and I'll add to the mats. Given Tony's generous donation, I'll place them down for adoption of that.

Given sherry, tokaji and perhaps 30YO tawny (don't shoot me), I have asked for some ice buckets.

Just doing some cellar management and found three bottles of "Rioja Bordon Reserva 1993 - Bodegas Franco" which I'd forgotten about. Will bring one with me.

This was purchased from Laithwaites two or three years, and I think was producer library stock, so hopefully should be in good condition.

I'm aiming to be there 1730ish.
