I'll be in Brisbane from Dec 20th-26th and would be interested in rejoining the Brisbane mob for a night. That might be too far into the crazy season to organise something though.
Hi there! Sorry, I've been away and dealing with sick relatives for the past few weeks of my "holidays".
Yes, definitely still keen to have a wine dinner with you bunch. I can make myself free whenever suits you lot, so can you all list the dates (it will be an evening affair! ) that you prefer and we'll go from there.
Secondly, it would be good if you list your preferred venues - then I can correlate all that and lock it in with the venue.
Riiiight, time for a Pinot.

I won't be able to attend but recommend Brent's in Toowoong as a venue. Excellent wine service, worth the $10/btl corkage - and the food's pretty good too.
Hope you can get this off-line organised Daniel, in my experience finding the right date to suit most people isn't easy.
I'm still keen to go. Ive eaten at brents (several times)and it is a great menu, and easy for me to get to. Would be happy if it was held there. I've attached the link to their website. Menus look good. http://www.brentsrestaurant.com.au/

16TH is out. 15th is difficult but any other date at this stage is fine - love brents and hope to see everybody (even daz )
14th is perfect for me - I'll be leaving Yeppoon on Friday (9th) so if you have a theme or want to try anything wonderful that I might be able to bring along let me know before then. Brent's sounds fine to me too.
cheers

If you can remember what a wine is like the next day you didn't drink enough of it Peynaud
Thursday the 14th would be fine. Just need to organise a baby sitter so both myself and the wife can come. Theme wise, now that we are in a new decade, why don't we go with that theme and pick a decade. 1990-1999 would provide a good selection of wines. Thoughts?

There is a small possibility I will be in Brissy for that night, can I put my name down tentatively ? ( I promise I will bring something nice )

I am a bit limited in that decade................. I have drunk everything
Happy to source a varietal or country (if I do not already have it) as long as it is a bit younger...........

I'll book today as Daniel must have other matters on. Hope everything is okay Daniel.
I'll book for 10 at this stage to give us some flexibility. me (+1?) Chillwrx Rens + 1 Rednick +1 Luke W Tim (?) Daniel (?) Gerry (?)
Anyone else keen to come along? I am not sure the "theme" thing will get up, but I can bring a 1999 Mitchell Riesling and/or a 1991 Redman Claret if we want to try some older stuff. I think anything you bring will be fine Craig (that Old Garden last time was lurvely) .
Can you please confirm attendance so I can finalise the numbers with the restaurant on Wednesday? I'll book for 7.30pm unless instructed otherwise.
