Fine vines and wines



Last weekend we spent an afternoon at our favorite local vineyard, Tahbilk Winery. It's the oldest winery in Victoria and has the knurly old vines and musty dank cellar to prove it.


One of those barrels holds a Shiraz made out of grapes harvested from vines planted in 1860!


Grandma and Grandpa Maki had their first wine tasting and especially enjoyed the sparkling Shiraz. Dad tasted the mid-1990s vintages of the '1860 Vines' Shiraz while Mum sipped on a sparkling Marsanne. Yum.


And Zach just enjoyed being in his backpack. Clearly!


Do we have a future vintner in the family?

Love the pictures of Zach. Cousin Chas loves the shoes. Everyone here wants a pair now.
