Agenda: Day Tour of Hunter Valley

First Stop: Wollombi
At wollombi, which is a small lil town we had our first taste of JUNGLE JUICE. Ok ok i know that name sounds awful but HEy it tastes good. 18% alcohol content got my blood rushing to my face but it feels damn good in 10 degrees weather. so percy and i got a small bottle each.. yey..

Second Stop: McWilliams Mt Pleasant Estate
Founded in 1921, their Shiraz recently got some i duunno-whad prestigous award..apparently it beat like 300 over other wines so erm..kudos to em yah. We had a fully guided tour where we found out, the freaking barrels they use to store the wine cost like 1000 buckeroos each!!!! like i'm talking empty barrels made out of different types of oaks..it seems that diff oaks bring out diff tastes in the wines and one silly barrel can only use 4-5 years..biang.. then the i dunno-whad machine used to squeeze the juice outta the grapes cause like 450 thousand.. *faints* aniways here comes the good part we get to taste MORE WINES... eh i think it was5 diff types.. (at this point feeling really flushed).. dessert wine, white wine..red wine.. oh and with great food too.. bread and main dish and fruit platter and coffee.. YUMMY... the main dish arh..is the classy classy one..with portebello mushroon and alfalfa sprouts and bell peppers oh just the thought of it makes my mouth water again..

Third Stop: Rothbury Estate

This one was really whao..i liked the wine here better..i think we had 2 whites, 3 reds and like 1 dessert wine and 1 fortified wine.. plus nice lil biscuits and "spitoons" you know arh at this point most of us can only take few sips the rest goes into the "spitoon" which the lady kept reminding us we REALLY shouldn't drink from..ahhaha Next door was cheese tasting..tasted some brie.. but never buy lah..taste the same as the ones back home mah..just wif nicer packings and higher prices.

Last Stop: Hunter valley Gardens.

Now this one no more wines..just chocs and shopping.. what more can a girl ask for?? *grinz*
