hunter valler

the wino's strike again! we landed in hunter about 4 pmm and managed to get to two wineries that night, then we did the walking tour the next day and got a bit trousered, as you do - even got a lifet back in the back if ute from the woman in the last winery.

we are now staying at karen landers in Maitland, which is lovely - had a heavy night last night and we are feeling it a bit today!





so again, its the wine review - part 2 - the memory fades in certain bits, but this is what we tried, and the ones we bought are in CAPITOLS :-)
