Always a great event - hope you called past the Kidman table for a taste.

I was assisting Sid with the pouring.

 

[Buzzard]

I have one each of the Parker Terra Rossa 2013 and 2014 that I will open one day.
Good to see you rate them delicious, now I can't wait.

TBH I actually didn't breast the Kidman stand - I tried to steer away from it - Cruiserette tried it and was quite bullish - personally I cowered closer to Katnook next door.

I have one each of the Parker Terra Rossa 2013 and 2014 that I will open one day.
Good to see you rate the delicious, now I can't wait.

Must admit our score of Parker Terra Rossa at The Olive tree could well be over the ton - always so reliable.

IMHO - Best In Show - Highbank Family Reserve - $40/glass at Tetsuyas - but as always that means absolutely nothing as your preference most probably something totally different - Tommy loves dark haired girls - penegal chases redheads - I go for blondes - lucky we are all different huh?

Venue is spacious compared to the Sydney roadshow at the Ivy :evil: It was so hot. We guessed it was overpacked due to the fact that you can actually smuggle yourself in. (I'm guilty in that part; my colleague missed out on tickets)

Langton's sending me one of these (unsure of which). I won't be disappointed then.

Melbourne Town Hall is a fabulous spacious building - a fabulous location - and the Coonawarra Roadshow was a fabulous event. Ticket inspection at the MEL show also very casual - but I don't think many snuck in.

I thoroughly enjoy the Parker Terra Rossa - the First Growth is outstanding so I hoper you get that - you can feel free to bring it along to the next MEL function to share with your new cobbers if you like!

Looks like a great event CE.

I do like your tasting notes. Not much room for ambiguity there.
