Excellent! Will be great to catch up with you again.
I'm bringing a sparkling white, Rossco & Rory are bringing whites and Con is bringing a fortified. So I reckon bring something red.

Look for something with the words Chateau and Latour in the name and you should be fine........ just trying to help.
Thanks Oz. I will bring a red and a backup red. Just in case the first wine is corked
(even though it isn't bottled under cork...). Okay, okay, I'm bringing two bottles of red.
I shouldn't get so excited so early.
Cheers
Michael
