Melbourne Offline / 17 June / Margaret River vs. The World

Post by Ozzie W »

At the recent 'Coonawarra vs. Rest of Australia' offline, we didn't end up with a single bottle of Margaret River Cab. So we've decided to do another offline with the theme 'Margaret River vs. The World'.

Date: 17 June 2016
Time: 6:30pm
Venue: Scopri (downstairs)
Theme: Margaret River vs. The World (Cabernet or Cabernet Dominant), 1995-2005 vintage

So far, we have attending:
1. Benchmark
2. Benchmark+1
3. ChrisH
4. conformistepete
5. grb2001
6. mjs
7. Ozzie
8. Ozzie+1

We are capping the numbers at 9, so we currently have one spare place. The reserves from the last offline get first preference if any of them would like to come.

- wifekidsmortgage
- alexc92
- phillis
- grapeobserver

If you're keen, then please raise your hand.

You can't just pour last months left overs into a bottle and bring it Pete....
