Italian Feast!

Italian feast with friends, much to eat and drink and plenty of sunshine to soak up!

Bread & Jam for Frances

Xmas Festivities pt. 3

It's rare and often rarer that you find yourself confronted by the petrified faces of four rockylobsters. Shelled, sliced and spritely dressed with tarragon hollandaise. Garlic oiled crusty bread and hass avocados beneath the lobstock. All of the mass beside a salad of prawns and scallops.
A meal of substance and some finesse, Chardonnay from Heathcote, made in Coonawarra.
Lovely, positively lovely!

Xmas festivities pt.2

The yellow fruit salad had smatterings of local strawberries, delicious with honeyed yoghurt. The Wynns late picked Riesling is absolutely sweeter than it really needs to be, trying to describe the mustiness that permeates the golden brew is difficult. I put it down to a little bit of botrytis and a little bit of toe jam. Finishing the eve with a Laphroaig 12yo sm. down in my belly!! In bed and dreaming of Xmas gifts and cheery children!!!
Have fun everyone!

Xmas Festivities pt.1

The very hot weather has got everyone spread eagle on the large front verandah. Some Budvar Czech Pilsner then Piper Champagne then dinner. Dinner of tangy potato salad and marinated veg mix with a turkey breast rolled up with a chilled gravy. A ballsy Ingoldby semillon was on the mark. More to come watch that waist line people's.
