Quicky Wine Dinner in Sydney next Thursday anybody ?

I have to go and sort out some wine at our Sydney depot on Thursday (hint - hint to anybody with some wine they want to sell) and thought a nice dinner in the evening would be a great way to wind down :)

Anyone interested ? I will ship a couple of bottles of something so they arrive in time.
