Ok let's kick this one off. Who's up for a Barolo and Barbaresco Dinner on 4 May. Max 12. I'm in. I am also suggesting May as these wines pair best with pasta and other Italian comfort foods. The venue is now the Larder at W Wharf.

The Royal Waiting Room

1. Croquet King - [interested, Mark?]
2. Andrew PC

Sure

Si!

Interested

In

Yep, keen.

I am interested too...if it's going to be in Sydney.

Count me in.

Thanks

Love to, thanks.

Sounds good.

Oh, and if you can convince Len (monghead) to come along I'll bring a couple of these (long story)

Count me in please Mark.

Yes please Mark, I'm in.

I am short of anything decent. May I make up for this sin by providing aperitif champagne?
If there turns out there is room, can I bring a mate who is interested in this?

Oops...I won't be here on that date..scratch me .

Let's save a spot for monghead, if he's interested?

Michael I was going to say if you're short any decent Barolo please just bring more of that wonderful French Champagne. I understand the Italians regard Champagne as an honorary Italian wine.

David will do!

Maybe he has seen MickR play golf and got confused with the usernames

Dave sounds like you may be better placed to convince him to attend but I'll put a spot aside for him.

Yep have PM'ed him.

I had a friend once who called everyone in the world Jack. It made it life much easier.

As the moderator I reserve the right to require people to wear clown hats with their names on them as part of the formal dress code.

Len said he is very keen.

May I ask who this obviously astute gentleman is? Just can't see any replies from him.

I'd say it was Ben (dingozegan)
