I am very happy  with Gerts suggestion that we all bring a bottle to Judy's room for pre dinner drinks and can then take what's left to another room after dinner. Judy you are so generous and kind and we all appreciate everything you do but it's only fair that we contribute. I agree with Gert that those who don't drink much are very welcome to have a glass out of our bottles.  We can discuss what wines to bring when we meet on Thursday night as we may all have some wines that we dislike. I detest Chardonnay and can't drink sweet wine but more or less everything else is fine. Favourites Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough area of NZ, nice bubbly and Gert introduced me to Tasmanian and it was superb. We are producing some really world class wines here in Australia and are spoilt for choice.
Soooo excited  ;D

I'm hoping that you will all be indulging in some of our brilliant South Australian wines, rather than any NZ ones, ladies! 
After all, this is the wine capital of the country.  :D

Definitely up for tasting some of Adelaide's finest ..if where we are eating the chef is suggesting a wine to have with each dish I'm happy to do that just not get wine to just drink for the sake of drinking if you get my meaning... However will go with the flow...

Looking forward to Adelaide weekend and catching up with you all :)

In preliminary discussions in regard to where we will eat on the Thursday night, it looks like Pauls on Gouger Street  From Orient in Pirie Street will be the venue. Katie & I can supply Entertainment vouchers and my DD will, I'm sure, hand hers over as well.

Names so far

 ;D  I know CC will be happy to just follow us wherever we go Gert, she will be on holiday and doesn't have to make too many decisions.
