Arrived and they’ve closed... oh no!

They heard you were coming?

A barrel room (but not ‘the’ barrel room)


What we tasted


Inadvertent secret room photo?

I read that sadly one of the grape growers for Rockford Alicante wines died this week on a tractor accident at the age of 22 helping his dad out.

I trust someone bought me a bottle of my favorite wine - Alicante?

Last stop for more wine from Kalleske

Lunch was good, though better communication after the initial two platters came would have helped as we were unprepared for the onslaught of pizza that followed. We ended up with 5 pizza boxes to take home!

Well thank goodness for Bundy Bear taking photos then!

On board plane back to Syd...had a great day and got to airport early for a bit of lounge time as well. Thanks Buzz and Ruby for organising

 

[samh004]

Likewise, I’m also onboard my flight back to BNE and Qantas has graciously given me a wifi-equipped aircraft.

Sad part is that the speeds are faster than my home internet

Thanks again for a fabulous day Buzz & Ruby.

A lot of hard work goes on behind the scenes to return a seamless and fun filled day. Lots of laughs, competitions, prizes and most of all spending quality time with my tribe again.

I am sure Buzz knows the secret password!

I'm guessing it's "The Buzzard has arrived".

My sincere thanks to Buzz and Ruby for organising another thoroughly wonderful wine tour. Enjoyed it immensely as always.

Joining the rest thanking Buzz and Ruby for organising another enjoyable tour and dinner (sorry we couldn’t attend), +1 also loved it and will most likely join us again on future tours.

Thank you Buzz and Ruby for another cracker wine tour. It was such a brilliant day.
Also thanks to those who generously donated door prizes.
My LATAM Ferragamo Amenity Kit has taken pride of place in the collection

Adding my thanks to Buzz and Ruby for organising this event. Your significant behind the scenes work is certainly appreciated by this member. Thank you also to those who donated prizes. I've never heard so many jokes about a wine cork extraction device.

Another great day in the Barossa!!

 

[tuapekastar]

I was remiss in not thanking those people who donated prizes, your generosity is much appreciated.

 

[Goodonya]

What a great effort. Possibly even better than last year. Thanks Buzz and Ruby for the time you must've put in to organise the tour and frivolities. I also no longer have a cork in my "Ah-so".
Also appreciate the help of penegal helping me load my carry-on into the overhead bin. At 18.5 kg it was just a tad over the limit
In appreciation I managed to secure him a glass of red up the front of the plane but he got overly excited and made a mess of his trousers (with the wine that is )

I was very fortunate to hook up with my cousin.
I bought another “wine check” to carry my booty home in.
It is an indispensable luggage item in my humble opinion. 12 bottles safely ensconced in the wine check. Safe from rough handling by bggge handlets, and light weight to boot !
I must point out, I have no financial interest in the product or the company selling it . So feel safe mentioning it here.
