Hobart Wine tasting/Craft beer/Whiskey/Cider/Gin tour [Aug 18/19 2018]

[Tassieoptom]

American living in Hobart very interested. Total chardonnay connoiseur as well.

Are you still on board?

 

[Tassieoptom]

I'm Hobart based and happy to help out with logistics, transport etc.

@hazel are you still interested?

 

[Tassieoptom]

Still interested. We haven’t been to Tassie for 39 years, and have been meaning to get back for .... 38 years!

@ALH are you in the hunt for this one?

Great, will need a moderator to add you to the prior list, I do not seem to be able to anymore. But good to have you on board.

$45.00 paid today. I think that was the cost. I just copied what Doug had written.

I'm along for the ride - while I've enjoyed the odd gin in the past I'm not a huge gin fan. I want to support any AFFer organising something in Tassie if I can.

The main place I'm keen to get to is Pooleys to try one of their recent releases.

Somehow I ended up buying these - so hopefully I will discover the best way to enjoy them


Is the dinner Saturday night likely to be BYO?
Should I bring something with me?

The Shiraz gin just on the rocks is fine.

As to dinner, most restaurants are not BYO in Hobart from my experience. @RooFlyer any thoughts on a venue? Central city? Waterfront? North Hobart strip?

We will strive to do this.

Gah. I’m from out if town and probably the worst person to ask. Somewhere Salamanca or Elizabeth St Pier. Muir’s downstairs?

BTW I won’t be at dinner, sorry

No worries

I’m staying at the Travellodge so my vote would be somewhere within walking distance from there - but will catch a taxi if that’s no good for the majority - not sure where everyone else will be?

After a big day of tastings I would be happy with a pub meal or Asian/Indian etc

 

[ALH]

Sadly we won’t make this one. Family arriving from overseas and a dinner party now arranged.

Next time. Have a good one.

 

[penegal]

@Tassieoptom No way I could possibly be organised this early... I did mention this event to someone last night over a beer though Let me check my movements and will advise

 

[RooFlyer]

Just remembered to pay

 

[straitman]

I've just updated and put Steady on the Platinum list and dropped myself to Silver (or lower). There is still a chance that I can get there for dinner though.

 

[Sulzerman]

If i can get to a bank and open a special account tomorrow morning then i will post details of account to pay the money into. But am really happy to be paid on the day if it is easier. I have already paid the bus in full, so will wear the cost if numbers too small. Have enjoyed arranging things and did a trial run the other weekend. So no dramas.

Hi all, I may be in Hobart on Saturday and be able to make the trip. Not sure if I will be able to make dinner though. Will confirm later in the week. Cheers.
