WTF: 'Champagne' from Australia and 'Vegan Friendly wine'? . So any amount of alcohol is OK for vegans but egg-white fining isn't?

Why the attack on vegans? I don't buy wines that use isinglass (fish guts) for fining. So what?

In Rome, when you order a pizza with fungi, egg, artichoke, olives and prosciutto it's exactly what you get.
Needless to say it was delicious.
Sorry, I should have taken the photo before I cut off a wedge.

Degustation Menu from Ship paired with premium wine.

Spicy Indian Samosa. It wasn’t very spicy but pleasant.


Soft Shell Crab Sambal. This was super spicy. I managed to eat it. Loved the spice but still not a seafood fan.



Amuse Bouche. Citrus and cleansing.



Main was lamb. Not very spicy. The Pinot was spectacular.






Desert was cheesecake which was good but the dessert wine too fruity for us.



Then downstairs to our favourite talent, Pianist Geza and Baileys.

This is the High Country Breakfast at Powerhouse Cafe in Hanmer Springs. It’s a beef and veggie rissole, potato cake, bacon, scrambled eggs, relish and toast. I won’t be needing anything until dinner

[Cossie]

Going to buy a pie maker when we get home!

Of all my kitchen gadgets Ive gotten a lot of use out of mine. Im planning on making beef in the slow cooker next week with extra for left overs/pies and adding camembert to the top of the beef mix before topping it with puff pastry.

Salmon steak with pistachio crust and wok vegetables
