Barossa Valley Premium Wine Tasting and Lunch [Sun 10th Aug]

[Deleted User]

Have moved from the VA lounge to the QF lounge. Still a while to our flight but enjoying the food and company. Thanks everyone for a great day.

Excellent move...!

Thank you Buzz and Mrs B for your hard work in organising another fantastic event. Great to see old faces and to meet some new ones.

I have used up my raffle luck for the next little while I think

 

[Buzzard]

Thank you to everybody for supporting this event. It is you that made it such a great day. A special thank you to those that posted photos of our adventures. I now look forward to the next wine tour in January.

Hmm, too many tastings methinks.

Fault with the camera, not the operator.

Absolutely fantastic day
Great company, great wines and top organization from Buzzard.
Just capped the evening off with a great little Italian feast with GPH, straitman and Shrek. Even managed a glass or two of Valpolicella, diet starts tomorrow

What a day!

I am now safely back in Melbourne and on my way home for a quick cameo visit.

A huge thankyou to Buzzard for a lovely day today, and to all the other attendees for making it such a fun day.

I'm sure some of us did some damage to our credit cards at the two wineries but picked up some great wines to enjoy over the next few years in the process.

Cheers!

We have arrived home after a great flight in VA J, with dinner eaten on board so nothing to do when we got home but shower, clean teeth and fall into bed exhausted.

Thanks to blackcat20 and TomVexille for their company in The Lounge whilst we and gwilli1 waited for our VA flights. Then they repaired to the QF Club before penegal guested in some random strangers.

Many thanks for Buzz organising a great weekend - went off without a hitch. Didn't get to complete the Survey but will send them back tomorrow. Congratulations for arranging enough stops to be able to draw a winner of the prize, lucky Anna.

Lovely to spend a weekend with existing and new AFF friends alike. Look forward to coming back to ADL soon

Buzz, you are a naughty man

Thanks everyone, especially Mr Buzzard. What a great day

Buzz, you are a naughty man

The look on your face was priceless

Do spill.

The look on your face was priceless

I can only imagine

I can only imagine

Maybe this:

It was similar to that Pushka, but the blood had drained from my face and I was dumbstruck and speechless (hard to imagine, I know )...unfortunately Mrs QF WP missed the look as she was up getting a drink from the bar. I needed that drink when she returned...

Do spill.

What happens in a VA Lounge, stays there . Thankfully there were few to witness it...

And here I was visualising a photo of him drinking from the spitoon

There was a discussion with our host Kim (Kym??) about the concoction that would be in them..and no challenges were given...

And there was someone who accidentally poured their unwanted wine into the drinking water

Might be worth checking out the second series of Oz and James' big wine adventure. Not sure which episode, perhaps 8. They go to a shop in San Fran or somewhere that allows people to mix their own blend. They tested the blend in the Bucket.

What a great day. Fantastic work by Buzzard organizing at great day out. Many thanks to you and your wife.

I know I had a great time on my first trip to the Barossa and I'll definitely have to get back soon.
