Aussie Day Eve
On Australia Day Eve, we hosted a Gourmet BBQ at our cellar door. We had fantastic tunes by our resident DJ Pablito L'Amore, fantastic food as always by Chef Ben Sommariva (with the help of Ben & Nelson Riggs), and of course of fantastic cellar door crew manning the wine bar. It was a beautiful balmy evening, and everyone had a great time sitting back, relaxing, enjoying some great food and wine, and great tunes to bring in Australia Day.

Our 2014 Ein Riese features in Huon Hooke's 'Top Drops' this month!
