MEL Wine Dinner - 2 MAY 2018 @ The Olive Tree

[penegal]

There was some conversation in the Barossa this weekend that it has been a while since our last MEL dinner, so boomy thought we should remediate this.

Please bring a bottle of [red] wine to share. It's not a competition to bring the most expensive, or highest rated, but a few of us will bring 'nice' things to share, so you are encouraged to do the same.

I will be flying in on the day, so won't be in Melbourne in time for pre-drinks, but some of the attendees may be around.

8pm
The Olive Tree, 19 Park St, South Melbourne VIC 3205

Bundy Bear; can't make it, we do need an event in Melbourne but Wednesdays just don't cut it.

 

[Hvr]

How about a teetotal person attending? I can offer witty and engaging conversation.

I'll be flying in from CHC via BNE so may not make the pre-dinner get together.

 

[blackcat20]

Wednesday doesn’t work for us unfortunately.

 

[ric_melb]

I remember having conversation about a dinner on the bus but didn’t expect action so fast.
Certainly would like to attend. Perhaps mark me as a Gold, may do an SC run to make it Platinum. Will advise further.

 

[serfty]

Will look at coming ...

Looked and can't do dinner - no trains between South Yarra and Caulfield - not gunna muck around with a replacement bus getting home.

I could meet nearby ~6pm for drinks ...

[Doug_Westcott]

I can’t make it as I will be in the USA for the next 18 Days.

Who are you bringing to provide the witty and engaging conversation (LMAO).

Working! Just back from the Barossa with plenty of red wine , so another lost opportunity, and mum arrives from NZ tonight.
