We can celebrate a new chapter for you too, Buzz. You deserve a little splash out. Looking forward to seeing you.

Thanks QF WP. Yes, I meant the 25th! I could look at other dates in Feb - say 18 Feb - or in May - say 13 May (April has schools holidays, so I might avoid that month). Wozza

Thank you for your comments and private messages. It's looking like I might need to organise another dinner for 8 to 10! If I could organise another one for a Saturday in Feb - let's say provisionally Saturday 25 Feb 2017 - who would be keen? It doesn't have to be a birthday bash. But just the...

Langtons have a vertical of the Elderton Command, which I suspect will disappear in about an hour. $399 for 2 of the 05, 2 of the 06 and 2 of the 07. If Cash Rewards are still available, this is a great deal. Shame I'm completely blown out on the wine budget front.

Mate, it would be great if you can come. But if not, we'll catch up on our business travels over the coming months.

That might be a go'er, DB. I think Buzz and Steady will be in a bit earlier. And hopefully I am not completing a major deal on the Friday so I can get away too. Let's work it out nearer the time. I'm not sure I'll have something alcoholic though - not when I have 10 glasses of wine ahead of me...

Shame. It would have been great to have you there. Warm regards, Wozza

Thanks for organising this separate thread, QF WP. Much appreciated. I've been quiet on the AFF front, trying to lock in the venue, travel and wine itineraries for my *21st* :) With plans almost there, I can confirm: Date: Friday 31 March 2017 Time: 6:15 pm until 11:15 pm Venue: Ripples...

Massive recommendation coming for all you Pinot Noir lovers: the Serrat Close Planted Pinot Noir 2015 On Vivino and Winosphere I posted the following note: http://www.vivino.com/users/warren-dav/reviews/60537521 "What a way to muscle on to Serrat's customer list! I don't regret buying a...

Question for the champagne lovers in the know: Winston Churchill 02 or Egly-Ouriet 06? Both similar price, and both being held by Langton's for me to choose from.

It would be great if you could join us, Steady. I'll consult the diary on those dates, as Mrs Wozza has a few secret plans she is working on ... QF WP, do either of the above dates work for you?

I hope you can make it, QF WP. I've never tried a Noble One. Thank you for the kind offer of a mystery wine pressie. You are a kind and generous man. I certainly don't expect anything. But, I won't say no to a gracious gift. I'll keep you posted if the numbers are there, and if so, of the date ...

Without giving away my age! I am posting a speculative Sydney event idea. A little bit different to what we have run so far in Sydney in the last few years. But it comes at a higher cost point, hence seeing if there is any serious interest. As I hit the 21 year milestone (!), I was thinking of...

I had this bottle in my sell or swap it stash. And it's now a third gone! But I'm glad I opened this Hewitson Mother Vine Single Vineyard Barossa Valley Shiraz 2013: http://www.vivino.com/users/warren-dav/reviews/59921920 2013 Hewitson Shiraz The Mother Vine, Australia, South Australia...

Cor blimey, Teammongo! I'm coming to your place next NYE! And I reckon half of the AFF Wine Lover community will be joining me! Great wines. Love the fact the BP was better than the HoG for you. I had an 03 in 2015, and it was amazing. HNY.

It's been, quite frankly, a pretty awful 2016 for me. And, annocdotedly, it seems it has been for many others around me too. But, in all the brokenness of this year, I've had the ever-present, ever-patient (with me) and ever-gracious, loving God. So I finish this year very thankful. Especially...

You've reminded DB of the funny quirk we experienced with the bill last year. When they came to add up the corkage cost, they only charged us for the wines with corks they opened! We weren't charged for the 10 screw cap bottles we opened ourselves that night! I think we all came away paying $45...

I am going to take on online drubbing from some for this review - as some know I have a fairly formed and straightforward view on the bold and brash - Barossa Shiraz!! But it was a very generous Christmas gift from CJEMNMAC, who was keen for me and AnonymousCoward to try this hidden gem from...

A certain somebody has just got his / her way. There will be a Shiraz on offer, and befitting the ocassion it will be this: Shame you couldn't join us, Buzz. We'll raise a glass to your good self.

Great! If you arrive early, let me know. And I'll set off early to meet you.
