Remember to try their secret wine for stonewallers only

Will do Newk, I think it's called SSV
PM if the secret needs to be kept

should I be even a tiny bit upset that I will miss this because I'll be in Hawaii?

(probably)

Take your door prize high vis vest to wear and remember us all with looking forward to the photo

rushes to pack it

(I'm just looking at all my inter-island trips on Hawaiian to see if I should be crediting them to VA....it's tragic isn't it? What being an AFFer makes you do )

Its SVS - Special Vineyard Selection. I don't think its a Stonewallers thing, but you can only get it at the winery, or maybe in the tasting room.

I'm down to my last 2 precious bottles of 2001 Pressings Shiraz and 1 of Hoffman's - in silver paper in their SVS carton. I unwrapped one:



I'll be with you in spirit on the 12th. Bloody friend and his wrenched 50th birthday!

All I want is black Shiraz. You can keep your svs.

OK, here you go.



1998:shock: Found lurking in a forgotten carton in the cellar when I dug out the SVS. Quite ruined of course .

Status run? Nah I don't do status runs. I'm flying to Townsville for dinner and have visited family in Brisbane. trying to work out a friends visit for tomorrow.

i like the black Shiraz a lot. I'm yet to be able to buy any for my cellar, but jasmine always have it.

The bus has been booked for 13 pax.

Pick up is at 0900 on North Terrace at the Convention Centre.
drewbles will be picked up at the airport between 9.15 - 9.30

It will take approximately an hour to get to Charles Melton so we will be about half an hour early for 11am opening.
What if we were to stop at say Lyndoch for a quick coffee or I can reschedule the bus for a 9.30 pick up.

Consensus of the guests please.

If anybody (except drewbles - he can't have it) would like my mobile number send me a PM.

Don't forget..... still 2 seats left for either romney or shintaro10x

Hopefully this time next week we will be on the road... Both Mrs Shintaro10x & myself are looking forward to it, thanks for organising such an event Buzz...

Looking good for Sunday... forecasted 32 maximum in adelaide so perhaps a few degrees warmer up north...

Perhaps not the optimum temp for drinking big reds but I'm sure there will be about 13 other pax to give me some encouragement :mrgreen:

This offer is only for those attending this event.

If you wish to purchase some Basket Press, Vine Vale Riesling or Sparkling Black Shiraz send me a PM as I have some available.

Unless you are a Stonewaller, Rockfords will most likely not sell you any of these wines.

Hic...... Buzz
You will need to pay me cash on the day and first in best dressed.

Just a quick question relating to return time. I'm not sure what time penegal is leaving (get the feeling he's not leaving on the Sunday) but I need to be back at the airport around 6:30ish for a QF flight back to MEL. How long do we have the bus for, and depending on what time it gets back, is it possible to drop me off at the airport (if not, that's fine just need to plan around it).

I am flying to Melbourne on Monday night, so I will be fine.

Given the "8 hour hire", I think we will be back in the city with adequate time for you to get home

As a side note, how do us mere mortals become a stonewaller in the first place?
