Spoken like a true Sidneephile!! ;-P

Truth be told, I didn't want to spend too much time hunting around for
good wine/great bargains.

I've had it delivered to (my BIL's doorstep) and he'll deliver them to my
hotel :-)

You're more than welcome to come and sample some when I'm down there.

Great day to be travelling up to Brisbane!! There'll be traffic chaos in
the Valley area, leading over the Story Bridge, due to the St Paddy's day
festivities..... if you're going southside. If you're going west (as I
seem to recall you saying you had a kidlet out west somewhere... it
shouldn't be too bad.


So..... how long you staying??
