Stage 1 - Tour Down Under

Each year the Tour Down Under rides past the winery in a flash. The slow and exciting build up as we wait to watch the cyclists zoom down the hill is heightened by the numerous police cars ringing their sirens and stopping traffic before the race passes us by.

We all stood out the front waving our teams flag to cheer the boys on. Stage 1 of the tour runs a 129km route from Mawsons Lake to Angaston. We are somewhere around the 80km mark of the race just after the Lotteries Sprint in Lyndoch.

The riders came past at 12:30, just in time for lunch and just enough time to take the back roads to Angaston to see the finish line.

Come and join us next year for lunch to cheer on the yellow jersey.

Winter Menu 2008

Its a very exciting time at the winery, we are just finishing up vintage (which was fantastic). Now preparing the 2008 whites for bottling and we have just released our new winter menu.

Every six months we review our menu adjusting it according to the season. We keep the old favourites such as gorgonzola gnocchi, caesar pizza and salt & pepper squid, but we also add some new and exciting dishes to tantalise the taste buds. When people ask what are our favourites it's hard to choose! There is the pear and brie stack (pictured above), baked avocado, honey mustard chicken, lamb normandy pie and the classic grilled beef in shiraz glaze with yum mash potato and a baked field mushroom.

This winter we have also explored some traditional Italian pasta dishes with an Australian twist, you can't miss the sweet potato gnocchi, duck ragu or shredded veal salsa.

My mouth is watering as I write this (we are having lamb roast for dinner, lucky its a few minutes off being served). Check out the new menu here.
