  • Liked the espisode, think you’ve done the right thing in the way you’ve finished off the whole #477 thing, please don’t throw Mott under a bus, but warn him HIS e-mail box is about to become seriously overloaded!!

    QOTD – Australian Riesling (Clare or Eden Valley). Can’t tell what you’ve got in stock, you figure!

    Keep well Gary….

    I love vertical flight shows. Pick something (5) WL has in stock, maybe a white since it is never vertically shown, and that would be great!
