I see we only need 16 more members to make it to 2000!

Who's going to join up?

Sue

Sorry Mr EB has shown no sign of wanting to join in. However that will make for a mighty big party. We'll probably have to go by county or something.

Yes we need a 2000 member party! Fancy dress again? Or best frock? But Champagne instead .......

Seriously it really is amazing how the membership keeps building up. Its obviously just a great place to be.

We'll have to have a giant CHEERS with a glass each to have a virtual toast!

(BTW, PW have a white rioja open at the mo - not at patch on the Faustino V 1999 )

In my humble opinion Rioja is only good for cooking mussels in!

I'd rather use a Chardonnay, a Muscadet or at a push a Sauvignon Blanc

Not a great fan of wine - prefer my rum - but do love a Barolo now and again.

If I am in a Barolo mood, then only God could save the man (or woman) who tries to deny me it !
