Muscat Mike will be in town and wishes to catch up with forumites on Thursday the 24th September at T-Chow.

I've booked two tables to cater for up to 18 people, and it's the usual 7pm start & BYO glasses & something good to share.

Anyone wishing to come along, please register your interest here.

Cheers,
Ian

EDIT: Date change from Friday 25th to Thursday 24th September.

Ian, count me in for one thanks.

Mike, good to hear you're bringing another 86 John Riddch :-)

I'll bring something to match.

Jazz and I may well come along, however Friday nights are always difficult for us (Jewish Sabbath). Justin may join us as well - I will report back when I hear.

Has someone invited Andrew Jefford? I can if you like.

If I can find my one remaining bottle I will bring it. I do know where my Magnums of Wynns Centenary are and could bring one as a substitute, or as well.
Looking forward to meeting everyone and enjoying some good food, excellent wine and great company.
Mike.

Include David and Pam too. However does it have to be Friday if PaulG finds it difficult? Maybe Thursday?

Unfortunately I think both Steve & Mike already have other things planned/booked every other night. Thursday also happens to be the night of the Coonawarra roadshow.

OK. It would be good if we could accomodate PaulG if we can in menu and timing in future offlines. Looks like a great night.

Oooh, havin a seniors moment, the Coonawarra Roadshow is on the 24th.......but August!

Mike & I are ok with it moving to Thursday if it suits everyone or more people.

Hey guys,
Firstly, thank you so much for everyone giving so much consideration to me - I am honestly touched

Obviously, I'd much prefer it if we could do this Thursday or Saturday, however I don't want to put the majority out on my behalf.

Thank you once again though everybody!

He's having a Senior moment. Huh, he's only a junior Senior. I will forgive him this once.
Looks like Thursday will be the night of choice.
Mike.

Thursday is ok with me and my plus 2.

I just have to cross my fingers that my conference prsentation is on the Thursday, so I can be worry free about Friday

Steve · Post by **Steve** » Fri Aug 14, 2009 5:58 pm

I'll be underwater in Thailand!

Have fun

Wayno · Post by **Wayno** » Fri Aug 14, 2009 6:20 pm

Thursday is fine for me also, probably better in some ways anyway. I will probably also have a +1 , maybe +2

David · Post by **David** » Sat Aug 15, 2009 6:33 pm

Count David and Pam in for Thursday.

PaulG · Post by **PaulG** » Sat Aug 15, 2009 6:46 pm

Thanks again, everyone for moving the date

Jazz and I are definites. Justin is out of the country that week, so he won't be coming. Andrew has been given the updated information. I'll post back if he and Paula are able to attend (unless he decides to post himself!)

Are we shooting for any particular theme, or just 'whatever you have that's nice'?

I think Mike's initial offer of either an '86 John Riddoch or '91 Wynn's Centenary has set a (pretty high) standard.

If we're looking for a theme perhaps cabernet/blends could be it, otherwise just bring something very, very good.

Updated participants:

Muscat Mike
707
n4sir
PaulG & Jazz
Scanlon +2
Wayno +1-2
David & Pam

Mark Jappe +1 (?)

I (+1) am still in for the 24th , just needed to shuffle a few things before I could confirm

PaulG · Post by **PaulG** » Wed Aug 19, 2009 2:38 pm

Bad news from Andrew, he can't make the event.

Scanlon · Post by **Scanlon** » Thu Aug 20, 2009 3:14 pm

i could possibly bring another riddoch year as a counterpoint. something from the mid 90's

PaulG · Post by **PaulG** » Sun Aug 23, 2009 5:26 pm

We were at Chapel Hill today and picked up a beautiful Bushvine Grenache. I appreciate this isn't up to the standard of a John Riddoch, but to be honest, nothing we can afford would be.

We'll also bring something else... maybe a Samuel's Gorge Tempranillo or something else out of our wine fridge.

Wayno · Post by **Wayno** » Sun Aug 23, 2009 7:14 pm

I was also contemplating mid 90s Riddoch! Possibly 96 but then a lot could change between now and then.
