Looks like a good event!

I may try to get there between hockey games.

Be a mighty warm day for it! I live just a few minutes walk from there and I recall last time was pretty busy (and hot from memory!) Not sure I'd be keen to be imbibing robust reds but then, that's me... a good cause and a good day though.

Thanks for the support fella's. Just remember if it is too hot there is alway's plenty of cool whites to try. May see you there, unfortunately the boss has put me to work, but only selling wine for a few hours. Drop in and say hi if you like. Will be selling Coonawarra reds and a crispy semillon/Sav Blanc, shouldnt be too hard to find!
