Disclosure: Fraser’s invited Mr. Spittoon and myself along to their first From Trellis to Terrace: Tales from the Vine luncheon. Mr. Spittoon and I are still reminiscing about this lunch. We had such a wonderful afternoon full of great wine, food and company when we recently attended one of Fraser’s From Trellis to Terrace: Tales from the…
For me, there’s two foods that are particularly ‘Easter’ for me: hot cross buns and chocolate, mountains and mountains of chocolate. I love to slightly grill the hot cross buns and then slather them with lashings of butter and well with the chocolate, I’ll take it any which way 😉 With Easter only mere days…
Disclosure: This post is brought to you by Nuffnang and Vinomofo. I was asked to give my opinion on buying wine through the Vinomofo website in exchange for a complimentary 6-pack of wine.

When we go up to the Perth Hills, I can’t help but feel a million miles away from Perth City. I grew up in a small town so the thought of being away from the hustle & bustle of a busy city is more than welcomed. Usually when we go up to the hills for…
As some of you may know, I love to invite guest bloggers to share their wine experiences and knowledge on the blog. This week we have a very special guest poster – my Dad!! Naturally he is a big wino (I wonder where I got it from!) and he was recently invited along to Omata…
