ohhh ohhh... i really wanted to go to this and am crossing my fingers that Toby's sister's birthday celebrations don't get in the way... if we're free want to head up together? Toby probably wont mind driving since he doesn't do wine....

shagsalot
i love cheese....... shame ill be in pt agusta on sunday... what time does it finish?? may be back b4 it finishes
PrincessPeach1337
I too thought it was a festival of cheese in the audible form, but the edible form is awesome too. Bung it together with a plate of other gourmet goodies and a top-notch wine and you're sorted for a real treat! happy.gif
Turbulence
Whoops, I read the subject of this thread & thought Souli was putting on another show laugh.gif

Nah, very small chance I won't go, planning on a biggy the night before at HQ, so the last thing I'll want on Sunday is cheese lol :/

you are behind the times, the val got sold months ago - we'd offer lifts but the vitara is too small for a trip that long for more than two people, possibly 3 at the most! It's a toy car!
jase31
hope they have kalamata olives to go with the cheese this SUNDAY
DeL
thats cool mich.... i aint exactly been up todate with alot of things this past two months...

will see how it goes biggrin.gif
skitzkitty
OMG - Cheesefest?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Cheese is in my top 10 favourite things in the world biggrin.gif I'll DEFNITELY be there!!!

jase31

If your heading to McLaren Vale on Sunday, you should venture a little further and see Mettina in action in the Kuitpo Rally. wink.gif
mich
a good idea but me thinks with all this wine and cheese we will be in no fit state to be let loose in Kuitpo with fast cars rushing by!!

We are still keen to go, have to help the parents shift some stuff in the morning but are keen to head up in the afternoon.
