What's the current 'special' for Stonewallers, Buzz ... not on this trip necessarily, but replacing what they discontinued /last year.
 
Thanks again Ruby and Buzz for a fabulous day. Lots of laughs and great company. Blocking out all of April for next year already.

Today was one of the best Buzz & Ruby Bus tours I have ever been on, I still treasure the boarding pass given to me for the very first Buzz & Ruby Bus tour...

Today's experience was nothing less than exceptional, such a refreshing & modern tasting experience hosted by Cameron Ashmead. Very Generous with the wines on offer and the tastings of a superior size offerings than others.

Such a great host running us through the family history & milestones & achievements the Ashmead family has made.

Being invited into the controlled temperature private cellar was a real experience and a treat to see the only complete collection of "Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy" wines in Australia.

Rockford's is always good, but the Elderton experience was so so refined...

Right down to the private car transfer back to the bus by Cameron in his BMW X5 ,so I didn't have to carry my wine the 600m walk was such a special touch. This is a class establishment and a must for visitors

Buzz & Ruby, well done, such a great wine tour and a credit to you both for organising...

Something has been on the cards for a year or two now. 'It" could be released in October this year I'm told, like it was meant to have been last year and the year before that.
Isn’t it the ‘97 BP.....
No, that was a special treat for us as was the Cane Cut that is only available to Stone Wall members.
Is it, isn’t it, that’s the question.... ;)
It isn't.
 
Thanks team. You were too kind. I enjoyed the day immensely.

Cheers

Welcome Barossa Boy! How wonderful it is to have an MD of a winery joining AFF! It's like having Red Roo on Qantas Frequent Flyer forum! :cool:
I missed this trip but will definitely visit Elderton the next time I'm in Barossa. Btw, will we get the special AFF treatment if we mention your handle during our future visits? :)

Well, their first new deadline is early October, and the second, absolute one, is early November!!

Shame I missed this tour but currently in Portugal. I visited Elderton in February and really enjoyed my visit. To make myself better,20190407_124359.jpg I went to a fine wine store in Lisbon and bought 3 nice Portugese Reds to bring home :)
