Will add you A - but this aint one of those 'kiddie' parties that Tommy and penegal organize - this is a 'grown ups' get together - we don't have Golds / Plat etc - just a simple yep I'm in less I have 'broke leg or sumpin' or 'nope can't make it' is all that is acceptable! :lol:

HA! I don't organize anything. That's blackcat and JessicaTam​'s domain.
 
T-11 til MELCAN II - appears we may have 22 attendees but only 8 have indicated they will indeed be bringing a bottle of plonk - might need to do a 'Jesus' here if we are going to make it go around!

I thought you volunteered me to bring some Taittinger Brut NV? I might also bring some Duperrey 1er or Rose.

Speaking of which, I may need to enlist someone's assistance with physical delivery of said Champagne, as I will most likely be coming directly from work.
 
A grateful client just solved my dilemma. It may be interesting to compare vintages.

i purchased 2 champagnes well actually 2 and then 2 when I was reminded of the requirements;

I was tossing up between the 2nd 2 that I purchased.
Either Bollinger but that one has been taken so I will be bringing along a Veuve Clicquot, a Qantas First lounge favourite.
 
Hey CE, I can indeed make it! Yay! Thinking of overnighting at nearby hotel in case I get too intoxicated for public transport, any recommendations? Walking (crawling) distance preferred.:mrgreen:

Looking forward to see you again; now just to decide the champagne, tough choice I know.

There's Rydges nearby (up to 200 metres) and a Novotel around the corner.

As serfty suggests Rydges Fitzroy St or Novotel around the corner are close enough to walk, but I personally think you might as well stay anywhere if you're willing to take a short uber ride (just don't tell CE :p).

YES I was remiss in not including that in original plan - let me be clear here - NO ARRIVALS / DEPARTURES VIA UBER!

Indeed I have instructed Topolinos Security Personel to refuse entry to anybody who breaches this directive. :lol:

I think you would be a lot better off spending your time constructing that spread sheet to record tasting notes on the 'phantom Champagnes' that 11 of the enlisted attendees will be brining / not bringing instead of wasting your precious thinking time on other matters.
 
Just ordered Joseph Perrier from Dan's so one bottle is down, one more to go...
 
Trying to persuade Mrs C to join us....... maybe I shouldn't, she's about 1500 lifetime SCs ahead of me ..... but, depending on her work commitments, she might be able to.

I'll pop this in the fridge in case:
