That would be nice & from my Birth state -

one thing the Tassies do well is great food and great wine.

 

I like NZ wine too -

 

you are all educating me 😉 

 

I don't miss much about Tassie but do miss the wonderful food. Fruit & Veg just not the same on the Goldie.

But with a bottle of that fancy wine, I bet I would not notice eh? 

 

There is a terrific fresh seafood shop nearby. They get direct from Sydney markets each morning.  Simply outstanding. 

 

I've spent a lot of time in Tassie.  Been there about 150 times over a 4 year period when I setup a COE there. Salamanca.  Love the place.

 

Anim, Pooley, Bream Creek, Sinapius, Apogee.

 

Try the Field Blend from Anim, Sue.  Approx $30 a btl. Sells out quick.

Sunday and Wongaburra means only one thing: roast.

Today it's roast pork, roast potatoes, roast fennel, parsnips and carrots; broccolini and peas on the side and some stuffed, baked apples too.

Apples have got some brandy soaked sultanas with cinnamon and a little raw sugar in the cored middle.

 

Naturally there is a little something to drink with it. A 21 Grenache from Simon and Corey at Sons of Eden.

 

I wish you all peace and health on this day. May your working week pass swiftly and quickly bring the time when we can relax with friends and family once more. 🍷

Serving in 5. Shall I set a place for you?

 

Always able to stretch to a couple of more seats if there are drop-ins. Our life's mantra is "if life has been good to you, build a longer table, not a higher fence."

 

No greater pleasure than sharing a good dinner and great wines with friends.

Dont think I can quite get there in time, you may have to send a care package 😂

 

Love your Mantra 🥰

A couple of lovelies today chilling at home with the family.

a bit surprised by the cork on the Lamella but I’ve got away with it this time.🍷🍾

Shorties in the smoker too, happy days.

Was going through my empty cellar, when I found this, hopefully it's good🤞, my mum's birthday coming up soon will open it & drink it with her.

 

What happened? Did this end up being drinkable, or not? Having been in Darwin the past couple of weeks, I never found the answer!

I like this one. From last night - I just can't seem to operate a camera and drink at the same time! I promise it was pretty opaque and tasty. And only $40 for a 4-pack!!!

...and a Tuesday quaffer.

 

It's red in colour, so it ticks that box.

The Run Rig is possibly a top 10 wine ever for me. It's that bloody good.

 

Very good to hear, reckon I tried the '06 at their cellar door like 12yrs ago and it blew me away. Back then it was around $250 so I didn't buy, any but I've been a fan of Torbreck ever since.

Here comes another one just like the other one😆

This is a very creamy, super smooth and heavy Stout, absolutely delicious. @$20 a pop though it’s on the treat list.

Quick n easy Hiyashi chuka - Japanese cold ramen noodle topped with cucumber, omelette, etc often with ham but tonight with pan fried pork medallions with garlic 

Sampling one of my Father's day beers given to me .

Co- conspirators The Embezzeler black IPA.

Nice rich malty beer without being over the top!,😊

Was looking for a last drink for the night and offered the bar tender a Yamazaki 12 but she is more a tequila drinker. I am happy to be schooled on something I am not familiar with. This is something different, in a nice way.

I thought the same thing - I love making Midori Splice cocktails at home, have not done that for a couple of years though now, must do it in the summer 😉

I just can't believe that you've suddenly all sprung me here  drinking another $6 wine, the humiliation...
