Mothers day is getting closer, and every year I find myself buying mum the same old stuff- massage voucher, crockery from Myer or a bottle of wine. She never complains, and let’s face it her mothers day presents are generally things I want to buy myself (and just living through her as I can’t justify… Read more »
Beer. It’s not just for the boys. sorry boys. One brewery that my partner and I are very fond is Pikes Brewery, found nestled between the trees in the Clare Valley. A while ago the other half and I were gallivanting around the valley, wine guide in hand and thirst at a all time high…. Read more »

(not literally, my backyard’s full of weeds and swooping birds). but I am passionate about the Fleurieu Peninsula. as most of you would’ve picked up, the largest portion of this blog has a strong focus on the Fleurieu- because let’s face it, this area is truly beautiful… Read more »

in my previous post we spoke about a gem of a cellar door in the Clare Valley called Paulett Wines. next to this cosy, warm and every so welcoming cellar door is a equally impressive and modern cafe named the Bush Devine Cafe. after visiting the cellar door for a tasting we saw the menu… Read more »
In my opinion a good winery (in winter) should have the following: an open fire, great wine selection, a interior to make you feel cosy and the option to have platters if your heart desires.
