March Sydney Offline: Burgundy vs. The World

[deejay81]

Lauren will bring a white I'll bring a red. Both 1er cru.

[rooman]

I bet you can barely get a wink of sleep with all the excitement...

I might just book an adjacent table with AndrewPC and we can sit and drink DRC all evening next to the offical Auswine table.

[Polymer]

There is a high chance of someone dropping out by the time it rolls around..

[catchnrelease]

For what it's worth I'll be bringing a 1er cru Chablis, maybe something non-Burg too.

[rooman]

We may decided not to share our La Tache with the fellas at the next table.

[Croquet King]

Oops - no problem I have a few others I can bring instead

[Polymer]

Alex said it can be either..up to the person presenting the wine...

[Meefun]

Great! Now I'm in! I'll see you guys then.

[Polymer]

Given the number of reds maybe I'll switch to white burg.

[TiggerK]

I'm confirmed, not decided what to bring yet though...

[Krusty]

Confirmed Alex.

Will bring a white burg and some bubbles to kick us off

[pc79]

Still in for this team.
Got a red And a white.

[catchnrelease]

Awesome, thanks guys. I've also changed what I'll bring to a 'proper' (according to the guys at the wine shop) white burg, a 2009 Leflaive & Associes Rully 1er Cru, and some sort of comparable Aussie Chardonnay.

[Meefun]

I'll bring 1x white and 1 x red, both Burgundy, blind. See you all then.

[Polymer]

Alex - I'd suggest sending mse a PM and give him until Monday or something to respond..he didn't show up on Wednesday so not sure if something is up but the lack of response is a bit worrying (I'm worried something might've happened) but as it pertains to the offline, might as well give someone else the chance to go...

Tried, my PM system is busted. Keeps sending to my outbox instead of sending proper. Could you send him a PM, Kev?

[TiggerK]

Outbox is quite normal, doesn't move from there until the recipient logs in....

[catchnrelease]

Ah, I see, well mse still hasn't logged in yet, I'll see if he logs in by tonight. If not, andrewpc is in!

[rooman]

Ah, I see, well mse still hasn't logged in yet, I'll see if he logs in by tomorrow night. If not, andrewpc is in!

Do you know if AndrewPC is still interested? I hear he just got posted to a new job in India and can't get any emails.

Did not know that, I'll send an email to confirm. Looks like you may get your wish rooman.

[Polymer]

Andrew was interested last week .

How is everyone getting there btw?

I vote for no more offlines on a weeknight that isn't walkable from the train .

[Krusty]

Light rail is three minute walk away from memory.

[Polymer]

It's about .5km from Glebe Light rail..which is about 20 from central..but might be better than taking the bus from central during that time....

[andrewpc]

I'm definitely still keen, no India for me, sorry rooman

[catchnrelease]

Okay so at the risk of upsetting mse, andrew - you're in. Sorry rooman, but don't worry there'll always be another offline. Also there's still time for others to drop out, it's happened before with people coming down with last minute illnesses or having things pop up at the last second.
