Tonight, Kate, Nick, Rob and myself dined at Kafe Meze in West End. Beautiful Greek food - their specialty is souvlaki, which was incredible, but in general the meals we all ordered were fantastic. Italian hot chocolates at Park Road nicely topped it all off!

Speaking of awesome dining experiences, we’ve discovered a new shiraz we love. The Pepperjack Shiraz is absolutely the best $20 bottle of red I’ve tasted - it’s smooth, deep, and before you know it you’re at the bottom of the glass. Oddly enough I think I preferred it to the Grant Burge Barossa 2003 Cabernet Sauv., even though the Grant Burge usually retails at $50-$60 a bottle (we got the last one on sale for $20 at First Choice Regatta, I love that bottle shop!). Definitely try the Pepperjack if you get the chance, and if you’re that way inclined, try their shiraz infused beer as well.

Queensland Roar finals tickets go on sale tomorrow, they’re playing two games against Sydney F.C. (one in Sydney, one here) to determine who will progress to the next round. If they keep playing the way they have been (lobbing long balls to the absolutely hopeless Reinaldo, making goal-keeping errors and generally being useless), I don’t really think they deserve to go any further. Without Danny Tiatto I don’t fancy their chances…
