I was away the weekend of the Sunset Wine festival, but I still wanted the TC to cover this awesome event having enjoyed Sunset Wine 2014 so much.

If you read my last post you will know that over the Christmas break I spent a couple of weeks in Dili, Timor Leste (formerly known as East Timor). It’s not the typical holiday destination for a wine blogger seeing as it’s a third world country that’s hotter than a frypan on heat but rest…
