Off to Hunter Valley

So you are all up to date on the most recent adventures. 

The next one to take place is actually this weekend.

Heading up to the wine country, Hunter Valley, with Emma and Claudia.

We will not be driving "Frieda the Festiva", Em's 10 year old blue wonder that she bought for $3500. 

Thankfully, Claudia just bought a two year old Toyota and a Tom Tom GPS. 

I'll let you know how many wrong turns we take, due to bad directions from the Tom Tom of course, and how the wine is. I'm sure this is a two-two and a half hour drive that will be worth it, even in "winter".

So far, Aussies do not like their wines dry. Think more along the lines of Pinots, Shiraz, Sauvignon Blancs and wine blends. Oh and lots of bubbly. I have never had so much sparkling wine on a regular basis as I have had here. Not many fans of the Chardonnay, I must say.

Here's to lots of tasting and lots of pics!
