Sydney Bring whatever wine dinner 1

15th August Friday 1257 Pacific Hwy, Turramurra Jai Ho Indian restaurant. 6:30pm

We've got Polymer, Burges and me to start with. Cheers.

Should be in for this one, but I won't be bringing a big Shiraz, will that be OK??

Absolutely
I think I will bring a Houghton Gladestone shiraz 1999.

Great. I'll bring a Kiwi SB

Great! We might have a good number for this tasting

That's a bit or a hike for me but I may be able to make it, just depends on another precious commitment that may or may not be going ahead. So maybe call me 50/50 at this stage.

No problem scott, I hope you can make it.

Himmm, I wonder why
Come on Tim, it is your favorite $6 Amiri SB.

Oxymoron alert.

Jokes aside, I find that the various styles of Chardonnay go well with Indian food, different styles for different dishes.

Also Riesling.

Hey Guys, if you keep quoting words like Chardonay/Riesling ... we r gonna loose Burges too.

Bit far for me but to keep Burges onside you could easily match a big curry with a big vintage port

That's interesting - never tried VP with Indian food ...

All this talk about chardonnay and riesling makes me feel like getting a tannat to complement the vindaloo

A very good match. Needs to be young and fruity. Mature VP's are best as contemplation wines (or cheese if one must).

Any suggestions?

How about a sparkling burgundy (SB) ? Went to a SB tasting at an Indian a few years back (about a dozen different SB's) and they went surprisingly well across a good range of curries.

Sorry guys, I won't be able to make to this tasting. Company called and I must work on the 15th Friday evening.

I am happy to make the bookings. 3 course meal for around 30 dollar per head, and one of best Indian restaurants out there.

Let me know gentlemen, this event should not be spoiled just because I cannot make it. Cheers

Can't speak for others, but happy to postpone this for a few weeks until you can make it. After all, it was your idea!

Cheers

Same here. Happy to postpone.

Great, can you guys please give me some dates when you guys are free on fridays?

Cheers

22nd is good.

Can't do 22nd, but 29th or 5th Sept OK for me. Actually 29th is pushing it, how about the 5th Sept?
