Beer and food truck chicken at my local @bayrdbrewing and @els_chickens. The best beers and when El's in town the best fried chicken. How's he do it.

2014 Rockford Alicante Bouchet. Only a handful of winemakers use this varietal in Australia. Often made into a dessert style wine in France. But @rockfordwines use it to produce a wonderful Rose style wine. The vintages regularly sell out but this one was hidden away by a great friend. Bright and not too sweet, not too dry but just right. Also low in alcohol. Easy drinking at the end of a hot day.

Gapsted limited release 2019 Barbera. @gapstedwines this is a great Barbera, dark cherries and blackberries, low tanins and so easy to drink. Pair with Roasted meats or just drink around a fire with friends. Gapsted wines in the Alpine Valley of Victoria Australia has a great cellar door and a banging restaurant that specialises in local produce to that creates superb food.

Chateau de Campuget 1753 Viognier 2019.

Wine, minis, Labradors amd travel that's us. (Follow us link in the bio)

@runninghorsewines, 2006 aged shiraz. A banging wine made by a great winemaker, vineyard owner, cellar door operator, former jockey and race horse trainer. This guy does it all. The tasting room is also a delight to see. Dave Fromberg is always up for a chat and his knowledge of the wine he produces amd all other things is immense. A specialist in aged wine this Hunter Valley winery is a secret that needs to revealed. This 2006 Shiraz is bold but smooth, full of big black fruits, a touch of vanilla and pepper and some Oak. I love it and as the supply is getting low we need to return. Dog friendly for well behaved doggos too. #broke #huntervalley #shiraz #buylocalwine #runninghorsewines #huntervalleywine #upperhunter #lovewherewelive #winetravel #winetime #syrah
