A night with Penfolds @ the Stag



Last night was enjoyable and now I am experiencing what one may call a slight hangover. The partner and I were out wine tasting over a degustation menu. From Riesling to Cab Sauv to Port - the crowd this time was a mix of people. Five tables of 8-10 with the youngest I guess in their late 20s with the oldest being in their 60s.

Peter, the owner of the Stag, has recently lost some weight. He commented that he was ill, the reason why we ended up with a surgeon on our table and his interior decorator wife. The Penfolds brand manager was there too but was less enthused about pushing the wine probably because Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon was not on the sale list at the end of the evening. I like Peter for his nature but the health issue has taken a little of his spark...which is quite sad really. I wish he gets better - somehow you feel so helpless and irresponsible.




So just two images, one of the Allianz building @11pm and the tram in Adelaide. The Allianz building is interesting because they have two hollow wings where they've planted huge palms that are 4-5 storey high, growing out of a historical building.





Salutations to Peter, Pinoyboy, Kevin, John, Andrew, Brad, Seumas and the Boys!
