Sadly, I'm out for this first gathering.

Just a suggestion. If you are 6-10, then maybe 2/3 of you volunteer to bring the wine this time. If you all bring one, then you are going to have a good night. But a very bad next day!

I always thought the better quality the wine, the less hangover I have (so long as I drink water throughout) - well that's my experience anyway, YEMV.

You obviously haven't been to any of the MEL dinners where each brings a bottle but still we somehow end up buying more because they evaporate so quickly ;)

Was Penegal there ?
 
The 25th is a little over 2 weeks away.
whoever suggested the Greek Taverna , in discussion with QF WP today, we are in agreement that is a good venue. we also agree that as a first hit out and as it is a lunch , we keep the number of wines down to a minimum.
I for one will see what Gems I have lurking in my Vintec cellar
Whoever suggested the Greek place, maybe they can start collecting names and make a booking?

It's an excellent venue with great food at very reasonable prices. I used to live around the corner and we regularly dined there. A booking is the best bet. I'm on their booking system and will be happy to make the arrangements. It is accessible by public transport. The 199 stop right out the front and glider (60) stops on Mollison st.

Whilst it was my initial suggestion I would like to prevail upon puppysparkes's offer to make a booking for us
 
Aye.

Our chat was timely GPH given there is some inertia to getting the initial meetign underway. We have a way to catching MEL and SYD.
 
The 25th will be my last uni class of this semester and the preceding day I will have visited the orthodontist – if he tightens my braces I will not be eating anything solid! I will have to carefully consider my attendance ;)

Soup and red wine for you then :
 
QF WP said:
Yes, Viridianne did express a desire to come to this - probably because she had so much fun at the GC one on the weekend.

No pictures, it didn't happen.

I'll be at Brisbane for a conference, hence putting in the dates of 25 & 26, which seem to have worked out well as we are finally facilitating the first AFF wine lovers Brisbane chapter!
If it's a lunch time do, it seems I must miss a couple of speakers at the conference. :rolleyes: (Ideally it's an early-ish lunch, as the first intermission ends at 3pm)

What time were we looking at; suggestions of lunch, which will probably won't work for me.

Anyway if its lunch and you are going to be drinking wine; how will you be able to get back to work.
 
2 weeks today for our initial meet up

I found this at the back of my wine fridge which I shall bring along

I have had a dig around and found a nice Italian red to bring, i initially thought I had a stray Bordeaux laying about, but alas it has been consumed, off to see my Bottle shop man in Sydney for some more soon
 
Hi all. My apologies I've cleared my inbox now.

For those who are definitely attending could you please inbox me.

Cheers
 
If we are doing lunch at least let's do it late so some of us can pretend to do some work before getting wasted.
