      Not sure if I can... but will certainly try!


      Sooo looking forward to discussing the "comp prep!"

                  I cant find the wine either, the place I normally get it has run out...

                  plargh

                  one last place to try (off there now)

                  we may not have wine for tasting, but I have some stuff to run by everyone with regard to future tastings, how we will mark etc.

                  have a look at these two forms

                  I favour the three page one I think, (wine evaluation chart) but maybe we can modify it for our own purposes?

                    Am I the only one who has been able to find Lindemans???

                    I've got a bottle decanting as we speak. Might have to save it for dinner if no one else has it.

                      Here's a question... and a thought...

                      Is there a regular wine merchant where most of you shop (as in a UK chain), and do they have an online presence?

                      If we could look over their online inventory, we could probably identify some brands that are readily available for everyone.

                          Yes there is....

                          and they provide wines at good prices too




                          do you have Aldi across the pond Steve?

                              We have an Aldi just down the street but, unfortunately, grocers are not allowed to sell alcoholic beverages in Minnesota.

                              But no problem. We can still see what they have available and I can find it elsewhere.
