Cam Adds a Touch of Class
Even though it is a small place, Alotau has it’s fair share of social events, and in order to relieve any cabin fever we might get from being in the house too much, we try and get ourselves to these events occasionally. Most recently one of the local establishments advertised a wine tasting night. As we don’t often see that much wine around the idea was intriguing. We were considering attending, when a slip of the tongue found Cam committed to hosting the event. Apparently working in a bottle shop throughout uni made him the most qualified person in town
So of course, we had to go.

As you can see the set up was rather nice (this was taken before the people started to arrive). And this would have to be the most wine bottles we’ve seen in any of the local pubs/establishments in the whole time we’ve been here. PNG would have to be one of the only places where it is socially accepted to serve cask wine at important functions, regardless of who is in attendance. The red wine was even left out of the fridge (as per Cam’s request) so as to be at room temperature for the tasting. A real classy event.

Overall the night was a success. Cam did a great job of hosting, using all those wine words (tannin, oak, residual sugar) and knowing what they meant (more than most of us did). Jane did a great job of heckling and having extra tastings of the wine – just to make up for the small-sips-only approach that Cam had to take given his professional demeanour and after his recent bout with malaria. And she loved dressing up in the dress Maxine gave her for Christmas – we all need a classy event to dress up for occasionally!

For a minute I thought Cam may have been drinking wine through a long red straw. That would be classy!

Gorgeous dress Jane! You look great, and it seems as though a classy night was had by all.
By the look of the first photo and empty seats. The guests couldn't wait to hear the end of cams story!
hehe
:)
Once again, Jane looks great, Cam continues to talk under water (or in this case under the influence) and if there's fun to be had or mischief to be made, you're both in it!
I think I'll need a few G&T's as well as the reds, purely to keep the malaria at bay of course ;-)
Good job!
