I was in cheese and wine heaven
During my recent trip to Australia, we went to Hunter Valley. Hunter valley in Australia is similar to Napa Valley in the US. I haven’t been to Napa Valley but my brother pointed out the small wineries also open their doors for wine tasting.
On our first day after checking in at the Vintage, we headed to check out some of the wineries. First stop was to shop for dinner, then headed to the first winery that we saw. McGuigan wines had wine and cheese tasting. Being a cheese lover, I headed to the cheese tasting. I had vintage cheddar, some blue cheese and my favorite brie. My brother purchased some wines that we will drink for dinner.
I cooked lamb chops and some salad greens to go with the red wine. Being Filipino, rice was still part of the meal. We ate the cheese with some grapes before going to bed.
The next day we headed to Pig’s Peake, I loved the wines there especially the semi-sweet kind. After that Blue Tongue, they had different kinds of beer. I loved the taste of the ginger infused beer. It would probably taste well with Asian Dishes.
More stuff about Australia in the next post. Glad to be blogging again.
