Alex can't make it. Are you still available, Michael? A spot is available if you want it.

Any requests on what to bring? White /Red/ Sparkling Red/ Fortified?

Excellent! Will be great to catch up with you again.

I'm bringing a sparkling white, Rossco & Rory are bringing whites and Con is bringing a fortified. So I reckon bring something red.

Open themes are so damn hard to decide which wine to take .. apart from "something red"

Look for something with the words Chateau and Latour in the name and you should be fine........ just trying to help.

Thanks Oz. I will bring a red and a backup red. Just in case the first wine is corked (even though it isn't bottled under cork...). Okay, okay, I'm bringing two bottles of red.

I shouldn't get so excited so early.

Cheers

Michael

Sorry Ozzie,

My Hip Surgeon has put the Kybosh on me coming Friday.... can't legally drive yet.

Cheers,

Rory

[Ozzie W]

We have a place available. Anyone else want to join us?

[Con J]

After chopping and changing I have decided what I’m bringing.
Wine is now home from storage and standing up.

Should be a great night.

Cheers Con.

[Ozzie W]

Finally decided what I'm bringing too. Looking very forward to Friday. Tasting blind is extra fun when the choices are from the entire world.

We still have a spare place available if anyone wants to join us. If you have never been to an offline before, it doesn't matter in the slightest. Raise your hand and you'll have the most fun filled wine night of your life!

Sorry, he couldn't make it.

[Ozzie W]

No problem. It'll just be 8 tonight.

[Con J]

Hi Ozzie.

I could have a plus 1, he just needs to confirm with his better half.

Cheers Con.

[Ozzie W]

I've already locked the numbers in with Bergerac, Con. Let me know if you're plus 1 can come and I'll let them know we're back at 9.

[Rossco]

Getting excited! Only a few hours to go. My whites are chilling nicely getting ready for their big night
