 Those who have not given wine selection please try to match single bottles on list to ensure that everyone gets enough to share.

			Having trouble tracking down the Wirra Wirra Anthem, a couple of bottle shops have said that the distributor is out as well  
 .  Does anyone know where I could obtain a bottle for Saturday night.  I will actually be in Melbourne tomorrow so anywhere near the CBD would do, or somewhere is Sydney and I can grab it on Saturday.  The other option is to bring the Rymill Bee's Knee's I have, I don't won't to skimp on the bubbles as the forcast is pretty warm but that will mix the bottles up a bit more.

			Ok,
 
 - we stand at 20 pax... afew PMs from people still deciding on wine choice, my advise is try to match single bottles on the list.
 
 - im still waiting on menu to post for all to see.
 
 - the only other suggestion i have is bring cash for the dinner & corkage as it will be a pain if you only turn up with CCards.
 
 - apart from that it should be a great evening.... others can take notes, im there to have fun & not be too analytical.
 
 - address for all again is: Atelier, (Courtyard) 22 Glebe Point Road Glebe NSW     see ya at 7pm sharp!

			Might also suggest that any decanting that needs to be done, is done prior as finding enough decanters can often be a problem for most restaurants.
 
 Thanks for the great organisational job Chris. 
 
 Looking forward to it immensely.

Sorry - haven't logged on for a couple of days. I've got a dozen of the WW Anthem - will bring an extra, in case it's needed.
