thanks - interesting

if i am not too late - and things may have changed since we were there in late 2005 - but we were very impressed with the folks and the wine at jeanneret and pauletts - lunch at skillogalee was dead nice

I just wish I didn't have that extra gourmet sausage, it kept creeping back up on me later that afternoon as I was sprinting up and down the hockey pitch - Oh and for anybody thats interested; Port Adelaide Division 6 men defeated Forestville 4-3 Saturday night to take out the premiership - thank y...

it would be a poor thing indeed if a lurker with a very low contribution rate were to win

and on 17 January 2008 people will say there is no justice in the world

changing the topic completely - i always enjoy your posts Brian- oh and yours too Ric (let's do this bootlicking properly)

woo hoo!

obviously i was a bit too focused on work earlier in the year - only just came across this little episode personally i have always enjoyed serge's comments - and i look forward to his eventual return that said fully support gavin's right to call them as sees them what is more - though i am one of th...

forgot that i had ken bates as my avatar - what a lovely surprise

I think red pencil signifies newbie / low priority. Although even marked so, the Wendouree gods shone on me last year! And I now have a few bottles tucked away which I will think of as I search for inspiration to convince my wife that we really must incorporate an underground cellar into the planned...

just much trouble were you in as i said, the Noon people were lovely - and a nice shadey spot was found for wifey and the little'un and a few others in the same boat so in the end i was not really in that much trouble at all certainly much less trouble than after #36, but this is the wrong forum fo...

"While we are in Adelaide do you mind if we drop into a cellar door?" http://static.flickr.com/120/304576092_d1e49e7940.jpg Ms Albus did not think an hour and a half lining up at Noon's on a 36°C day constituted an ideal activity for our three month old son. And then we were running lat...

thanks for that too Murray

a lot of very useful information there - again very much appreciated

thanks Sharkey - very much appreciated

still planning but Tahbilk will definately be included & I have spoken to the people at Casa Luna and that sounds great so it looks like we will give King Valley a go too.

The punchy dot points I am looking for recommendations for: - primarily cellar doors - but also restaurants - and possibly accommodation along the route Beechworth, Goulburn, Heathcote, Pyranees, Grampians feel free to skip what follows The rambling version Next week Ms Albus and I are driving from...

i for one am interested in which wines people have not enjoyed - and why i say the following not in order to inflame but simply as market feedback - it is smithy's comment not the review which means that i will probably never be in a position to comment on warrabilla's offerings and then there are t...

thanks David - fits nicely with our trip to Adelaide

serge serge serge if you are interested in Australian wine and decent restaurants you should definitely be taking in adelaide - nothing spectacular geography-wise but the greatest concentration of decent wineries and decent restaurants in the country and, incidentally, the home of one of the world's...

ditto

I am considering building either an above ground or bellow ground cellar at home. I have tried to search for information on construction and building recommendations without luck. Does anyone know of a company that builds small cellars from scratch or a place where I can go to to get some help? I a...
