New Zealand Sav Blancs are always good. We sell Clifford Bay, it's not half bad (if you can find it in a bottle shop ).

I also work with grog, so I have a lot of "tasting" to do.

Well it's a tough job but someone has got to do it :P
Yeah people love Oyster Bay or any other wine from Marlborough.

I suspect a wine tasting tour would be a large driving factor in me going to Adelaide.
W.A are also great for reds!

Ok, here's my first post from my new iPhone. It's pretty cool.

I'll be drinking pure blonde beers and can's of jim If this flu buggers off.

Don't get me wrong, I mean, I don't enjoy it.

My dad drinks Oyster Bay, great wine if you can get it $12 when it's on sale.

Better be a single malt. At 20 years I'd say it would be a pretty nice drop too.

Worst thing is it's almost cheaper to buy a brick of beam now. Silly government.

Nice Damian. What lens is it?

The Tokina ATX Pro 28-70

"It all started int the late 80s with a french manufacturer - Angenieux. They were and still are quite renowned for movie camera lenses but at the time they also had a side business with highly renowned but pricey manual and auto-focus SLR lenses. They offered a couple of very interesting designs like a AF 180mm f/2.3 APO and especially the AF 28-70mm f/2.6 which they marketed as "the fastest standard zoom in the world". Eventually Angenieux had to recognized that they were simply too small and therefore not cost-efficient enough to survive in this competitive market so they ceased their corresponding operations. It is an open secret that they licensed the design of the 28-70mm f/2.6 to Tokina. They released the lens again as (a marginally modified) AF 28-70mm f/2.6-2.8 AT-X Pro (II) which was an immediate success thanks to high quality combined with a very affordable price. " from photozone.

Thinking about buying a second 5D body, instead of getting the 5D Mk2.

I am also looking at buying a netbook, or sub-notebook - Acer Aspire One seems to be pretty good apart from the touchpad buttons - I think the Lenovo S10 is the pick of the bunch though.

It must be Christmas, my Smugmug strap arrived today as well.
