Don't even bother with dinner tonight, actually.

Forget breakfast tomorrow, obviously.

Thanks Thanh. And thankyou to everyone who is involved with this evening. I am really looking forward to the event.

While I know you've probably put a lot of hard work into this, Thanh... have you ever sat next to my Dad?

Have you ever done it and been his son?!?!?!?!

Screw that!

Besides... Philo wanted to share the lobster I won't eat and Stubbsy trains me on wine!!!

Leigh,
I've known and learned you won't sit there still with other activities which you're going to engage.

And stubbsy can give you more learning curve on wine tasting at his private cellar

I don't care who I sit with as long as they're happy to drink some of the 1990 Limestone Ridge red I'm taking

Is it vinegar by now?

If it is than he can order sharkfin soup to go with the vineger.

Yes, it's right, red vinegar with sharkfin soup is the nice combo

If stubbsy's taking vinegar it'll be expensive vinegar

I'll happily trial some limestone vinegar !!!

How do they make vinegar out of limestone???

A secret formula from MJ

Just in case it's vinegar I have a Pyrus (can't remember the vintage, but at least 7 y.o.) as backup previously left at birdy's. Unless it has cork taint, the Limestone Ridge should be superb.

I've been told: it's for me and I emptied it last night, it was sour taste

OK So if I find another in your cellar I'll take it off your hands. WOuldn't want you to taste too much vinegar.

You can take whatever you want, few magnums there!

Sounds like table 2 is the place to be!!! To quote the late Big Kev:

"I'm excited"

Hi Birddog
Please fix, I am not Warren, it is the computer named Warren of the network, I had 3 terminals in the house and my son named my one Warren.

Table 2 is certainly the place to be! Looking forward to it!

Ill swap you my seat for your women...or your sister-in-law.

Dear all,

This is Belinda, Geoff's other half, here.........very excited about the dinner tommorrow night & and very thankful to all who obviously put so much effort into organising such events !! (:

A quick FYI to abovementioned organisers/anyone interested:
Louise, Scott, Geoff & I are making our way to the dinner together however i just wanted to let all know that i finish work @ 5.30pm, on the Northern Beaches, and even though the three Amigo's and i will head straight to the dinner from my workplace in Brookvale there is obviously some chance (considering Friday night traffic & that the trip takes 50mins at the best of times) that we will arrive a little after 7pm.

Regardless we ARE coming and we WILL be trying our hardest to get there on time (Geoff may get booked several times in the process but Hey - no pain no gain).

Seeing as i am not officially a member i best get off the forum now, looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow night.

Belinda (:

You know, I'm going to steal a seat on the table with the best wine or the table with Philo on it so she can eat my lobster.

And the rest of the night I'll bounce back and forth on the Shoutcast feed, provided I can get it working...

A rhinestone reisling?

Pls. note:
As with my experiences, finding a parking spot for tonight at surrounding car parks will be struggle with late arrival, so be prepared to drive around the area if you could not spot one, mostly the road around Hurstville is One Way Road.

Apart from on street parking, there're:

A parking lot at corner Dora St & Queens Road (Last year Xmas party).
A parking lot on MacMahon St, next to Hurstville Council Office
or park your car at Hurstville Westfield shopping Centre.

For people travelling by train to Hurstville:
As soon as you come out Hurstville train station (Forest Road), cross the street and walk up to your left hand side, the restaurant is five minutes from the set of light of pedestrian crossing.

Thanks Birddog Valuable information to know.

Peter,

How's about these:

Wolf Blass 1978 Cabernet Sauvignon (45% Shiraz)
and
Wynns Coonawarra 1987 Cabernet Sauvignon

Can the Limestone and Pyrus substituted by the above ?

Has someone volunteered to be the 'official' photog for the night or will we just rely on everyone who brings their camera?
