As for team strips I've just helped a mate out in Wales with team blazers (red of course) for the Welsh National Sheep Shearing team who are now in Norway for the World Cup - so, yes can do the strips!

Don't suppose it's that much different from a rodeo though.

Haha - great, looks like I will have to grab something on the way down to contribute as well. I will let you know my travelling schedule by first quarter 2009.

By the way, I am also planning a trip to Burgundy and Southern Rhone around that time. Anyone interested? 


Now if you go to Burgundy first we can all help you taste your new acquisitions!
May need a few days as a few themes are emerging:
1.  Chateaux and their second wines (Las Cases and Clos du Marquis)
2.  New World joint ventures (Almaviva 1997-2006)
3.  Maestro's class on the best of Italy (he doesn't know about this yet)
4.  Paul S collection from Beaune to Rhone
5.  Paul J provides the music (I'd rather have Bohemian Rhapsody than a Lambrusco* honest).
6.  Wrighty is in charge of team strip - any colour but red is acceptable.

L.


*  now I'm going too hear there are some good ones I expect?


Hey - what happened to wine by the glass at the sampling place?

I'll tell the wife I'm just going on a wine bender for two weeks with a bunch of guys I met on the internet.  It all sounds so seedy!!!

Thanks for the confirmation Maestro, although I suspect this is one we'll all agree on.

And Paul can you rephrase "wine bender"?

For all I know this could be some grooming website.

I've stayed at the Bracknell Hilton more times than I can remember and have to agree with this characterization.

Hey, I resent that! Chubby maybe, but old, not quite yet.
