Our latest excursion in Take Australia By Storm 2009 Tour featuring Sassy Boots DW and the Unshaven Hobo (or Spidermonkey if you’d prefer) was a wine-tasting extravaganza to the tiny town of Berry, New South Wales. Located in Shoalhaven region on the Southern rail line, Berry thrives on tourism – and with all 3,000 people calling the tiny town home, I suppose that’s a good thing! (Har har har har har.)
We choose Berry for our foray into Australian wines for a number of reasons;
1. Adelaide is too far away,
2. I would probably get all stabby and mean with the pretentious wine-swirlers in Hunter Valley and
3. We wanted to get as far south as the rail lines can get us without spending an arm and a leg.
So far? Mission accomplished!
Nick wanted to walk in and ask if they'd send a telegraph for us. I said no.
What a view!
Wine country? And what a nice guy!
Spoils of war
Nick's giant head leaps into the frame, as is his wont.
The "two silos" of Silos Estate - my favourite was the Riesling.
Famous? Yes. Delicious? Oh yes.
Coolangata Estate
Stay tuned for updates on the Public Enemy shows, more photos from around Sydney and the massive Cambodia/Vietnam post.
Aaaaaah… I miss Oz….
Personally, I would have gone for it at the telegraph office. … …. . ._. . . / .. … / __ . ._ _.
