As most people know, I’m not a sports-addict. So, needless to say, I got our visiting former member Terry’s team incorrect in last week’s Newsletter – Terry was barracking for Essendon (not Collingwood) at the Gather Round. All my footy-loving members reminded me of this fact during the week! At last, I’ve set the record straight.
Pencil in these dates:
Our Club’s 40th Anniversary of Charter is coming up on Friday 12 June, so the Board is currently discussing how to celebrate this milestone. We’ll let you know the date and venue as soon as possible.
Our Changeover of Presidency will be held on Saturday 18 July from 2-4pm. President-Elect Kirsti will provide more details soon.
This week is dinner at the Kent Town Hotel from 6.00pm. See you there.
Best wishes and have a great week. Yvette, President.
2022 THE NURSE SERIES SHIRAZ Winemaking Notes A lively, youthful Shiraz bursting with aromas of blue and dark berries, complemented by notes of black pepper and delicate spice. The palate reveals generous blueberry and blackberry !avours, subtle hints of violet, and beautifully integrated oak. Bright and fresh, it shows excellent structure and impressive layers of complexity.
Since our founding in 1959, our story has been shaped by passion, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for the people and land behind every bottle of Shiraz we produce. We believe in making a meaningful di"erence with what we have, a philosophy that underpins our partnership with the McGrath Foundation.
The McGrath Foundation’s mission is simple yet powerful: to ensure that no one faces cancer alone. With the same care and dedication we bring to nurturing our vineyards and crafting our wines, McGrath Cancer Care Nurses provide vital support and compassion to individuals and families navigating cancer. In 2025, we were proud to renew our three-year nurse funding partnership, committing $140,000 annually to support a dedicated McGrath Foundation Cancer Care Nurse.
Wine has been !owing in the Clare Valley since 1851 and is an integral part of the culture. It is one of Australia’s most prestigious premium wine regions, most famous for its Riesling and Shiraz. A small area, accounting for less than 1.5% of Australia’s total wine production.With its beautiful, rolling hills, ideal winter rainfall and Mediteranean climate, the Clare Valley carries a unique history and winemaking heritage.
