Tuesday 21^st January

SHE SAID:

Geoff joined us for a winery wander today, though didn’t sample any! He was driving!

We went to a couple of smaller, more boutique, wineries & to two more well-known places, plus Happs Winery for the art & pottery. Lunch was from the Gracie General Store, a hippy/surfer cafe, and a popular spot.

We got back with an hour to spare before the BBL started, which Geoff was hoping for.

Howard Park & Madfish Winery

A 9 litre bottle called Salmanazar - left at $3,100
And
An 18 litre bottle called a Melchior - right at $5,500

Grace Farm has the Giant Spider Orchid growing on
the property so decided to use that as their label

HE SAID:

I was happy to be the driver for our touring of some wineries. Sometimes the subtleties of the taste of wines is lost on me, so I didn’t worry about tasting any. If Varena likes it then I’ll drink it!

After Hobart won and made it through to their first grand final of BBL Varena whipped up tasty bangers and mash for dinner.
