Bugger, I was planning to attend but completely forgot this until I saw some updates yesterday. Note to self, book flights and accommodation when you say you are interested. Trust it is a good catch up.
 
Oh and tks to JT for picking up the bill compliments of AFF slush fund - I never knew AFF was so awash with surplus funds 👍
Well after my friends tried to skip town without paying it was the least I could do. 🤣

(Disclaimer: no AFF funds were harmed in the consumption of last night’s dinner!)

Belated confession...I did not actually realise that the bottle of Hermitage I brought along was white wine until I arrived at the restaurant! I have done some comparison with an old empty of the red Hermitage (Shiraz/Syrah) from this maker and the bottles and labels are pretty well identical, and very easily confused if you don't look carefully.

Still, the quality of the wine was certainly remarkable, specially for white of this age. as several people commented, It is apparently a blend of marsanne and roussanne which hardly exist in this country.

However, next time I will try and pay better attention!
 
What was the best wine out of the picture? Have never had a Penfolds Max.
Was the OT up to its usual standard?
Where is the proof that penegal attended?
