The Big Chill

The Big Chill


We're working our way back from the lovely Hunter Valley after a weekend with friends wine tasting and relaxing. The weather has been somewhat tumultuous during our trip, the wind and rain making our Saturday a cold one.

The booze bus picked us up at 10am, and we were drinking within 15 minutes at our first of six wineries for the day. Most places produced some variety of Semillion, Rose, Verdellah, Shiraz and a rare Chambourcin. After one or two wineries, they all blended together.
