Green is my envy, green, green, green.

Sounds like a great dinner.

The chardonnays are well made chardonnays. Some people love em but they is just chardonnays to me.

The reds are all good stuff.

The 2002 Shiraz is splendid as is the Heytsbury red, and the cabernet and Cab/merlot are excellent for the price. All well crafted wines and should go great with the food.

Clive Otto is always an interesting presenter as well.

Should be a great night.

Thanks a lot Davo!! considering your RB status that's a great vote of confidence re: their chardonnays! will report back with TVs next week.... as for the food, the tasting is being held at this Oz cuisine restaurant called "moomba", the wineshop conveniently situated upstairs of the dining area, free corkage fri and sat nites.... good food good svc, so am really looking fwd to it...

cheers

No, not going. Long story, just wanted to get a message to Clive about the post-ball party in MR this weekend! But he won't be back obviously!
