AFF Wine Lover Meet Ups - Brisbane (Master Thread)

[puppysparkes]

Time to start planning the next one.

I'll chat with Brent at the wine emporium to see if he can recommend anywhere decent that offers BYO.

 

[Viridianne]

Hmm thought I had posted yesterday but clearly the app was rubbish as usual.

Lovely to to meet new people and see familiar ones. Thank you puppysparkes for making the booking, and everyone for bringing wine (im sorry I didn't bring one, I figured 3-4 was enough for our numbers!) Lest to say I didn't make it to the rest of the conference yesterday but I'm making up for it today Drop by the Sydney thread if ever in Sydney.

 

[Major]

There are a few options here. Something to think about

Caravanseri and Deer Duck Bistro look pretty good to me.

Or you were suffering from wobbly finger syndrome?

Deer Duck Bistro is very nice but quite fancy.
May not be suitable for group of cheap drunks

Caravanserai looks like good option.

If it happens after the 10th June or before the 6th July, I'll have to see you at the third gathering!

Looks like the troops had a good time if planning a rinse and repeat! From the list The Major posted I've been to/organized functions and BYO at The Wolfe (East Brisbane), Nantucket (Indooroopilly) and Deer Duck Bistro (Auchenflower). All good restaurants. I'd favour The Wolfe.

Other venues worth consideration are Vine Restaurant - Home in New Farm. I know the owners and have had many good BYO lunches there. Others to consider that have let us BYO to are sproutbyofrenchcafe in Auchenflower, Rhubarb Rhubarb | Restaurant Wooloowin in Wooloowin and Moda Restaurant – Best Restaurant in Brisbane City in Edward St near the Gardens which allow BYO on a Tuesday evening.

Otherwise The Valley has a myriad of BYO options but often Asian food isn't the best accompaniment to good wine.

The Wolfe will not fail to deliver. Folks I can't recommend this place highly enough. The service and food is on point. Weather permitting, I suggest a table out the back.

Short walk home for me - so that sounds good

 

[Deleted member]

The menu certainly looks interesting and inventive

 

[boomy]

Looks like we have a venue.
Now to find a date that suits most people.

 

[Major]

It must be either a Tuesday or Wednesday for BYO

The Wolfe East Brisbane | Restaurant

I'm calling hump day!

 

[boomy]

Wednesday works for me better, either 21st or 28th.

Can we do hump evening to maximize attendance?
