Wine tasting is also big business- pull up in your car (or by the bus load) and go through the routine - then hopefully you'll find something good enough to bring home. If not have a meal in the attached restaurant (also big business!)<br />The strange thing is you'll find most of the same commercial wines on offer in the local Dan Murphys at half the price lolCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09487589871746402154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516133427486832064.post-90582335718995087952019-12-01T11:49:43.048-08:002019-12-01T11:49:43.048-08:00Wish we could wine taste.
