What fun we had on the rooftop patio of members Larry and Karen, and their kind neighbours Thom and Leanne, for our casual Summer Barbeque in the City. It was a very popular event and many members brought wines to enjoy as well as the wines from our cellar. One very special wine was a 5-litre bottle of 1982 Château Clarke, a donation from the estate of past member Lesley Smith. Our barbeque helped to support D.I.C.E.D and their work to give youngsters a start and education and training in the culinary arts and Chef Don Guthro and his team kindly cooked forty delicious hamburgers for us, together with a selection of salads followed by fresh fruit and sweet dessert squares. Hopefully, this may become an annual event! Our thanks to member Sid Cross for his review of the afternoon and the wines (a link to his blog is attached), to Larry and Karen and Thom and Leanne and to Chef Guthro, Ashley and Rocheen plus Tony and Tasha, two students from PICA who helped with the event.
