Pity I'm going to miss this one.. The champagne you brought last time Doug_Westcott was one of my favourites on the night and one I hadn't tried before

 

[Cruiser Elite]

pity i'm going to miss this one.

ginormous dislke!

 

[tuapekastar]

Same here.

boomy, I don't think it appropriate that you bring along lawlass's +1

I'm a reasonable chance to make it at this stage.

 

[boomy]

boomy, I don't think it appropriate that you bring along lawlass's +1

LOL

99% I'll make it and may bring my +1 as well.

Just to be clear

 

[penegal]

She is Lawless?

 

[Goodonya]

The main caveat is that Goodonya doesn't complain about Prawns and Scallops this time.

Listen here Mr penegal, I had no complaints regarding the service or quality of Topo's, but rather the absence, lack of, any prawns which should have been part of my dish, ie I didn't get any when I should of. Come to think of it, I remember now I was sitting next to Cruiser Elite at the time and thinking back I reckon he pinched 'em when I was distracted by champers effervescing in my face and he took his opportunity whilst I wiped the bubbles from my eyes :evil:

 

[boomy]

And now thanks to the QF domestic sale we are both platinum for this event

 

[whughes3]

I am definitely a starter assuming I am in the country (which I will do my best to ensure!)

 

[fellaheen]

Sorry, was returning on 19 Aug but now not back till 22 Aug, will just be missing out this time

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Have I missed anybody? Anybody listed wishing to seek leave of abstinence?

 

[JessicaTam]

Dare I say it, but I will be absent from this auspicious event. Overseas if that is any excuse!

[blackcat20]

Can I suggest that tastings be a little more structured this time? I found last time there were bottles popping left right and centre and I know I missed out on trying a few...

 

[boomy]

I didn't come to the last event so just to clarify some guidelines, what is the price range we are talking about per bottle and I assume it must be a real French champagne as per the event title right?

 

[samiam]

I'm a 99% chance as a starter and may even bring my +1

Don't you mean your 'other' + 1?

From MEL CAN I

This is not designed as a CONTEST to see who can bring the MOST EXPENSIVE bottle of Champagne - you bring any Champagne you have on hand or want to go buy to bring with you.

Whatever you feel comfortable bringing, as long as it's Champagne.
