thanks for the reply goldiepooh,
I was sold the impression that we would be getting beer from the Pump Room, which is freshly brewed according to Aussie stds. But then again nothing in black and white then, so I cannot fault anyone. Maybe cause I just came back from a stint in Munich so not very keen on local beer.
Red wine wise, I was told by WineBOS, the house wine Resso Leggero merlot is quite light, but it should suffice as the price difference between the house wine and the reccomended one (Goldleaf) by WineBOS is 10 bucks per bottle. No choice have to save lor.
A bit frustrating negotiating...but rule of thumb is before committing anything including deposit, best to get black and white in email. Ppl tend to forget what is spoken over time, so thats the best to settle disputes.
