An event not to missed! Seriously, great wine, fantastic food in the beautiful Swan Valley – what’s not to like? If you do anything in the Swan Valley this year, Viva Verdelho should be on your list. This weekend on Sunday the 10th of November twenty Swan Valley wine producers will showcase their best Verdelho’s…
I set out on an epic mission this year. The mission: to try and document 365 different wines during 2013. I am on the downhill slope now having over 300 tucked under my belt and less than 65 to go. Is it challenging you ask? I would have to say, no not really. My aim…
I have ate at the Rose & Crown in Guildford more times than I can remember. At one stage it came to a point where I would only order the pork belly, I was obsessed! It wasn’t until recently after yet another excellent meal there that I realised I hadn’t blogged about it. To start…

There are actually not that many places in the Swan Valley that do…
To be honest I have never been a fan of organic wine. There is no particular reason for this, I just simply haven’t found many that I like. As part of my ‘research’ for my post Why does white wine affect me more than red wine? I decided to make a trip to the small family…
Yesterday Jezebelle announced their new Spring tapas menu, and it couldn’t have worked in better with my feeling for not wanting to cook on a Friday night.
