Gosh I love Melbourne! It’s such a fun city, not to mention it has numerous wine regions on its doorstep like the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula and the stunning Bellarine. Melbourne and Victoria as a whole is an awesome destination for wine-lovers. If you’re just passing through and don’t have a time for a day…
I am pretty sure my Tuesday night this week was better than yours – 4 deletable courses of food, 5 glasses of top quality Margaret River wine, good company and all at a great setting on a rainy night. It’s definitely not my typical Tuesday, this normally involves ugg boots and a couch! Therefore I…
I thought I had finished writing about my Taste Great Southern trip earlier in the month, but alas something kept niggling me to write about the Hybla Tavern on Middleton Beach in Albany. It definitely surprised me, that’s safe to say!
Is there a better way to celebrate a birthday than with great wine, food and company? I don’t think so! Last night, we got together with a great bunch of people to celebrate a fellow friend’s birthday.

Okay I know I am a bit slow to the party! The Guildford Hotel re-opened in May 2016 and it’s only been in the last couple of months that I finally checked it out – it’s been a pretty full on year with the wedding and all! To be honest, I have heard many mixed…
