The Adelaide Rotary Club are organizing a wine lunch at the Caledonian Hotel North Adelaide.

The cost is $90 a head of which each club makes $20 from each ticket sold.
There are generally up to 6 courses and 12 different wines served. and there is also an opportunity to purchase wines at very good savings from which each club also gets a small return.
