The wine tasters....Susan, Dennis, fellow Pi Phi Jane, Fellow Denison alum Don, and Marilyn.G’day from Down Under!!
Our Liverpudlian dinner partners, Rodney and Rhona (or “the Rs” as we refer to them), are leaving the ship in Sydney and we’ve fallen in with a group of fun Americans whose table we’re joining. Six of us hired a van and driver to take us on a wine tasting tour of the Yarra Valley. This region has more than 84 wineries, including the French champagne-maker Moet et Chandon and their Domain Chandon winery. As we were all chatting during the drive, it came to light that one of the other men also graduated from the same college that Chuck and I graduated from! Six of us in a van in Australia and three of us went to the same little liberal arts college in Ohio! How funny is that?? And then we discovered that the best friend of one of the women was a student there too at the same time we were there….and it turns out she was a Pi Phi sorority sister of mine! I guess it’s the old six degrees of separation thing! No wonder we all hit it off right from the start! It was a fun day….and I think we tasted all the wine the Yarra Valley has to offer!
(Happy Birthday WM!!! Melbourne had fireworks for you!!)
