Photos from 3-4 November Wine Tasting in the Hunter Valley

On 3 November, we rented a car with Kate and Stephane and drove to the Hunter Valley to do some wine tasting. Located in New South Wales, the drive was about 2.5 hours. On Wednesday, we went to Keith Tulloch Wine, Brokenwood Wines, McLeish Estate and Tamburlaine Organic Wines.

We checked into our motel, which was right on the Thalgara Estate vineyard in Polkobin, where we ended the lovely afternoon by sitting on the back porch and sharing a bottle of wine while we watched the birds - and a family of kangaroos in the distance. We met up with Stephane's friend, Tracy-Ann, who lives in Sydney, but they met years ago in Liege, Belgium. Then we all went out and had a really nice dinner at Muse Restaurant.

When we woke up the next morning, the kangaroos were closer to our hotel room, and Kate got a great photo.

On Thursday, we went to Mistletoe Wines, Arrowfield Estate and Hungerford Hill before we headed back home. In all, it was a great trip. I think Matthew and I ended up buying three reds (a Shiraz, a sparkling Shiraz and a Pinot Noir), a sparkling rosé, and two dessert wines (a Botrytis Semillon and a Muscat).

Here's the link to the rest of our photos from the wine tasting trip.
