Are the dates firm? Got a Amex Edge tix that I absolutely have to redeem by today.

We now have a date.

Rockford can accommodate us on Sunday 2nd April, 10:00 - 12:30 in the Barrel Room as per previous visits.
With good rain over winter and a mild ripening season, vintage is off to a later start this year so there should be quite a bit going on at the winery when we visit.

The next step is to find another venue for lunch and tasting.
After that we can put a costing together and tickets will go on sale.

Stay tuned.

In which case I could be a very warm Gold for this one.

Yes, the date is locked in.
Just need to negotiate with another venue for lunch and tasting.

So long as I can get an airport drop off on the way back from the Barossa, all is good!

There will be an airport drop on the return journey, just be mindful to allow sufficient time for the return.

About what time?

I’m busy at work so this is just a quick update.

I’ll post the cost, blurb about collecting money etc a bit later.

We are booked into Rockford from 10:00 til 12:30. We MUST depart by 12:45 to arrive at Artisans of Barossa by 1:00 where we will be treated to a private tasting taking 45 minutes.

After the tasting we will indulge in a feast that I have been informed we need to allow 2 hours to enjoy. As you can see, this now makes it 3:45 all going to plan.

In order for us to get to the airport by 5:30 we will need to adhere to a very strict time schedule else somebody may be late for a flight.

I will however leave it to the attendees to book a return flight allowing plenty of time given the schedule posted.

Making it difficult to say no, Buzz.

Will there be a quiz?

Yes, but not the cough I came up with last year. Back to my original style.
