Dear AFF friends
This is a wider invite to the lovely AFF community regarding a Wine Tasting Meal that has been booked in Sydney for 6:30pm on 6 January 2016 at Sky Pheonix, located in the heart of the Sydney CBD.
Ten people have confirmed their attendance, and around another five are still definite-maybes. There are a few interstate travellers, and some very funny characters, coming. So I am expecting lots of fun.
There is a theme for the night - wines in their sweet spot. And there is a competition, with three expected winners who will each take away some amazing wines. We will be hiring our very own private dining room in Sky Pheonix, so it is sure to be a relaxed, intimate and fun night, where great company paired with great wine will be the order of the night.
The cost is expected to be around $50 - $55 per person for the food, corkage and private room fee. Each person must bring two identical bottles of wine too, at whatever price point they want. One bottle will be blind tasted and judged by everybody, and the other will go in the prize draw for the three winners. To meet the theme, the wine must be from a 2008, 2009 or 2010 vintage, but it can be from anywhere in the world, and can be red, white, pink or bubbles.
You don't have to be a wine connoisseur to come. You just need to bring your best nose, nostrils and networking skills!
More details can be found on Wine Lovers section and the thread by the similar name to the above.
If you have confirmed you are coming, then please do not feel obliged to confirm again here. This is just an additional thread for those that might not frequent the Wine Lovers section that often.
I hope some more can make it.
My warm regards at this festive time,
Wozza
