The Great Melbourne Cantiniere Catastrophe Corroboree 17 Feb 2023.

[penegal]

Let's have a kiki, and drown our collective sorrows with some Cantiniere...


What: Dinner, and some questionable, but hopefully good wines.
When: 6:55pm, Friday 17th February 2023
Where: The Olive Tree, 19 Park Street, South Melbourne


Background reading from a competing thread:

Speaking of controversial wine... I have found a carton of Mitolo Cantiniere Shiraz 2013...

That great Vinomofo wine which members of this forum accused of being a "straight to Vinomofo" wine with an "inflated fake RRP"... I am not one to judge, but there is no reference to it anywhere on the Mitolo website.

Maybe I better bring that along to wash down some steak. I haven't actually drunk any yet, and it did say "drink by 2022"...

Psst! Can you keep a secret? We’ve got a celebrity in the house. A legit, black trench coat, sunglass-wearing celebrity shiraz. Notorious among the McLaren V...

Watching this thread with interest. Might be able to join depending on the dates finalised. At the moment, my dates are pretty open, but will wait for some suggestions.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

I do not know what you been ‘smokin‘ kiddo but please don’t let me near it!

 

[boomy]

Would love to join but probably not before Xmas.
Last week of the year works for me but will understand if others prefer to catch up beforehand.

 

[Hvr]

I'll be heading overseas on 29/11 and returning on 07/12. Good for any other days.

Saturday 17 December works for me but might not suit everyone, including penegal who seems to be double booked every time i head to Melbourne

 

[RooFlyer]

Yes, but date????

 

[Hvr]

including penegal who seems to be double booked every time i head to Melbourne

You think that's accidental?

 

[penegal]

Look at all you difficult customers who want a date... outrageous!

Here I was thinking @Cruiser Elite would organise it for all of us!

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Wed or Fri nt preferred?

 

[penegal]

@Bundy Bear Works for me I think... I am finishing up work for the year on Friday 16th December, then someone wants to have a "lunch" at 7pm that evening, so I should be free by say 7/8pm Saturday 17th December... Or any of the following week.

The Olive Tree is closed 23rd (really 22nd December) until 17th January 2023

Post automatically merged: Nov 22, 2022

[boomy]

[Cruiser Elite]

[RooFlyer]

How about Wed 28?

For non-Melburnians, remember airport firefighter strike threat over Xmas period.

Airport firefighters win right to strike over Christmas

The move has the potential to cause significant delays and cancellations for passengers during what is traditionally one of the busiest periods of the year for domestic aviation.

If we were to find a babysitter and make this work, it would need to be a Friday and probably post Christmas.

 

[whughes3]
