Any one interested in a cheap offline?

Post by Alex F »

I wonder how many uni students actually follow the wine forums... Anyway more about myself at

http://forum.auswine.com.au/viewtopic.php?p=34558#34558

Since I am into wine, and getting more and more into it, I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask whether anyone is interested in a regular (monthly/bimonthly?) meeting in cheap restaurants (Thai springs to mind?), looking at various wines that are not too expensive (above $30?), maybe some special treats now and again.

So if anyone is interested just reply to this post or simply PM me. For starters I can organise one either this month or next month, hopefully before the good food and wine show, at this nice Thai restaurant in Newtown (10-15$ mains). Up for any suggestions though...

I can supply two people :P I guess we only need a few more to have a sizeable group.

Hope to hear from interested ones soon :)

Pity about the geographical separation!

I'm a uni student too, I cover both bases as I'm studying oenology. I would also like to be involved in more offlines.

Are you at Waite? I was, until the university decided that "withdraw without fail" really meant "fail" and evicted me from my subjects this semester because I'd "failed" (withdrawn without fail) twice previously :evil:

Hi Alex I wish you good luck. I am also a student in Adelaide University. I will start on the next semester (July) oenology study. By reading the forum I get familiar with the wine culture in Australia.

And I'm another student in Adelaide, studying winemaking. Who'd have thunk it!

If you scroll down a bit, you will see plans afoot for an Adelaide offline sometime in June. You should all come and join in if you're free.

Maybe try "the other board" if you aren't getting much response here - a fair few sydney people over there.

I'm in my fourth year of a three year Bachelor of Wine Marketing degree at The University of Adelaide.

The marketing junk is a waste of time - I've done very well in all the wine related stuff, but don't see myself finishing the marketing side of things. I'm looking at sommelier and/or wine making qualifications at the moment...
