RB - um yeah. I can't watch that. And I'm sorry if you did :)

Andrew - thanks for the nice words about the presentation and the wine recommendations! Back to Sydney tomorrow!

Francesco - You know, i used to drink a lot of shiraz but have switched to Cab lately. Guess my taste is changing but I'll be sure to try a variety while I am here! Note to self: you have only had Chardonnay so far!

If you are in Australia you really have to try some of their Shiraz. Some of the best Shiraz I have ever had comes from Australia. Though it might be darker then what you normally drink, it is not terribly dry and is sweet enough to satisfy most. Its delicious.

Also while on the topic, if you like Champagne and are also into wine you should try this sparkling Italian White - Moscato Di Asti. It tastes like Champagne, but is a touch sweeter and has the alcohol content of wine. It’s delicious. Just make sure to get the "Di Asti", there is Moscato from France and flat (non sparkling) from Italia, that is just not as good.

Heather, you did a SUPER job at the conference. You have no need to worry about presenting (although all do - even experienced presenters). You gave me inspiration to look into this and kick off a corporate blog for Peoplebank.com.au.

Enjoy your time in Australia and if you get the chance try some Margaret River (WA) wine, it is superb. Anything from the Hunter Valley is also pretty good. Come to think of it, you would have a difficult time finding a bad drop if you stick to the local wine (the New Zealand wine is pretty good too).

Travel safe and enjoy!
