Rockford Stonewall Room - Sunday 12th Jan 2014

[Buzzard]

On some flights they give you a grenade each for breakfast (ag our last J ADL - SYD)

On others they have just poured a glass

Those "grenades" are a good size. I'm a little remisce that I didn't buy some of the Rifle Range "grenades", but my credit cards (and bank balance) are very thankful that I showed "restraint" with my purchases.

Speaking of which, my Basket Press and Cane Cut Semillon are now safely at home down in the coolness of the cellar. Thanks again to Buzz for the unique opportunity to purchase these wines.

You can always place a "mail order" for the publicly available stuff when your credit card breathes a sigh of relief :mrgreen:

Apologies for the tardiness, but I would also like to extend a huge thanks to Buzz for a great day. Unfortunately, I was not my usual self being somewhat under the weather.

Next time i'm sure i'll be able to partake a little more and enjoy some fine Barossa Shiraz!

Perhaps we didn't chat as much as I would have liked but I certainly look forward to catching up with you again drewbles, and I certainly appreciate your attendance.

All this Rockford talk reminded me about the Basket Case magnum. Just ordered one (only one allowed, for now); 2008, $190 incl freight and insurance.

Parr-tee !

It was on offer @ cellar door for $180 but I am certain none of the group purchased one.

Are they not for stonewallers only though?

Apparently not but if they are you can still get 2 if you know the B@WG

No. I bought a couple while there on Friday. I'm not (yet, but told not far off) a Stonewaller.

How long have you been waiting? I was told there is a 5 to 6 year wait at the moment.

Roughly four to five years so far.

 

[penegal]

I signed up on the day, so have been waiting roughly 5 days

Good to hear... you should be a Stonewaller any day now

Hopefully not on the day we were there Seriously, I hope you get there soon.

It's begining to look like the next Rockford run could be organised by interstaters, not Radeladians

The impression I was given was likely to be a year or two. Of course, if some current Stonewallers were to meet with an unfortunate accident, that could certainly speed things up

Cirrhosis of the liver perhaps

 

[Daver6]

Cirrhosis of the liver perhaps

Livers can be replaced, right?

If I had a liver transplant I don't know that I'd want to get back on the booze

But then again........
