Hunter Valley, Part 2

Kangaroo Crossing

Our room at the Resort


Nasty looking spiders inside the winery

Sunrise in the Hunter

We had to wear hard hats in the winery

Our sweet rental - only cost $10 in gas to go about 200 km

Looking at directions to the next winery

Wombat Crossing (yes, that's what I said)

That's not a six-pack price unfortunately

No relation (that I know of)

Potato Wedges "Aussie-Style' - With sour cream and sweet chili

There's also a series of TV ads with these same slogans. Pretty much says what the picture entails - if you're a guy and you speed, you are compensating for your small...pinky

We spent this past weekend in the Hunter Valley again - this time an overnight stay at the Hunter Resort...and we drove (nothing like zoning out for a second or two, coming to and freaking out b/c you're on the left side of the road, then realizing you're supposed to be on that side of the road.

Highlights this time around:

The Hunter Resort itself - room was very nice (and it had a central heat!)

Drew's beef fillet at dinner Friday night - the quality of beef is much better here versus the Stateas.

Espresso creme brules

Sunrise in the Hunter (it was about 40 degrees overnight - wasn't expecting it to be so cold)

Vineyard/Winery tour at Hermitage Winery

Sparkling shiraz and muscat wine at Oakvale Winery
Chocolate port at the Hunter Valley Gardens

Purchases:
Chocolate port

More shiraz

Ginger beer

We are both looking forward to one more trip to the Valley - we'll take the tour bus next time so everyone has the opportunity to imbibe equally
