oscar · Post by **oscar** » Mon Jan 15, 2007 12:17 pm

Happy New Year one and all!! I trust we all downed several good drops over the season - so I propose we share a few stories over some more
good drops for the first Brisbane Wine Club dinner of the year.

Date: Feb 2 or 9 - the end of January looks busy with Australia Day celebrations so lets aim for the first couple of weeks of February.
Theme: perhaps Chardonnay (with some regional and international representation
Venue: tba - perhaps Mondo in West End.

All the above is up for discussion so feel free to make your thoughts known.

9th may be a goer - interstate on the 2nd.

Perhaps shiraz could play a supporting role :wink:

Still waiting on confirmation from Mondo on byo, will advise in the next couple of days.

Looking a lot further ahead, I'll be up there 11th of May.

I hope there's an offline then for me to go to. Good luck with this one!

Cheers,
Ian

I had a brilliant Italian dinner here a few years ago:

If this place is still going I'd like to go there again - the set menu/corkage packages look fantastic.
