Next Sydney Offline July 17 @ Cafe Lyon

[maybs]

At this stage Polymer I can't do 17th, that may be subject to change in which case I will let you know and would love to come along.

I like the idea of a theme which is just being something you really like. Get to see what other people are enjoying and share their perspective.

[Dennisr]

I would like to attend my first offline- I have some old wendowrees shiraz and 1982 De Bortoli Sauternes ( might be drinkable )to bring along. I will check my stock of old shiraz/syrah in the frig.

Hey Dennis, welcome, and thanks for offering an old Wendouree - they are always welcome! The De Bortoli will be interesting as well.

[TiggerK]

1982 de Bortoli could well be very special! The first year of Noble One. Look forward to meeting you Dennis!

Stuff it, put me down as tentative.

I will bring a Philippe Bornard Arbois Vin Jaune if I can get it in time, supposed to be arriving from overseas at the start of next month. Will sort the men out from the boys.

Could also do a mini-marsanne vertical from Tahbilk for the cheap and cheerful but age well wines.

I genuinely did a double take and looked at the poster name twice... I thought I may have misread the poster as "redsmurf".

Looking forward to a good Vin Jaune!!

I haven't decided on a main wine yet, but I can also bring a Cremant Du Jura to get proceedings started.

[dave vino]

Let's just say I had a good convo with Papa Smurf on the weekend

Thanks Matt, What does 0.534 denote? Is that a percentage of the vineyard or similar

[Krusty]

From memory he has .534 of a hectare under his care in the Hoffman's Dallwitz vineyard.

Good luck with this Dennis, if it was me I would still front up that night for more anaesthetic of an alcoholic kind We look forward to seeing you at the next one mate.

Just giving this a gentle bump.

Are we still on for this week?

[maybs]

So the work stuff that was supposed to be destroying my week has fallen away. If this is still going ahead would love to be there.

Don't have a lot of show off worthy wine with much age/interest about it, but was thinking that I have a 1998 Wendouree Cabernet Malbec, the first bottle of which I found really interesting. Or, if things look a little red heavy I would be happy to bring a 2007 Penfolds Bin 07A Chardonnay or 2009 Savaterre Chardonnay, both of which I like a lot...

[TiggerK]

Still definitely in! No idea what I'll bring yet....

While the more the merrier has often been my slogan, limiting the numbers to 10 or 12 does ensure a better lineup and taste of each wine IMHO....

[maybs]

Oh, or if I can find my last couple of '10 Giacondas I will bring one of them maybe...dug around for them the other week and couldn't find them!

[TiggerK]

Save the Giaconda's Scott, they need time! The 07a would be a treat!

Probably best I can't find them hey Tim? Maybe it is meant to be

I will toss a coin and bring either the Cab Malbec or the 07A.

Really glad I can now make this.

You are right, I didn't really mean to cut and paste the bottom bit.

Current numbers are perfect.

[catchnrelease]

Would be interested in this if possible? Maybe as a back up given the party's pretty full. What are the details on time, cost etc? Most importantly time.

I've got old Wendouree Cab Malbec or Shiraz to contribute, depending on what others are bringing.
