At 10 AM on Saturday morning we boarded a mini-bus to tour the Valley, stopping at 4 wineries, Scarborough, Tulloch, Peterson’s Champagne House and Audrey Wilkins, with a stop for lunch at the Belltree Café (fantastic food). Mark and I did our fair share of tasting, purchased almost 3 cases of wine (most from Tulloch and Audrey Wilkins) and did a little sightseeing.
Mark took particular pleasure at the wine museum at Audrey Wilkins that showcased a number of “Bung Hole Borers”. For those of you not familiar with the phrase "bung hole", just check out an episode of Bevis and Butthead. The party was great fun. Julie is from Texas and works for Dell in Australia, a number of the other guest were also from Texas, at times with the y’alls and country music playing it certainly felt more like I was in Texas than Australia, however once the Kangaroo’s hopped by it was back to Australian reality!
On Sunday we were able to visit with my mom, stepdad, cousin and family friend who were all visiting the Hunter Valley as part of their trip to Australia for the Wedding, it was fantastic timing and great to catch up with them post-wedding maddess! -kel
