Spring has sprung


On the long weekend, we went back to Mudgee. We left on Friday night, and remembered that it is quite a long way - even more so in the dark! At least we were able to enjoy a full day there on Saturday. After a wonderful breakfast at Forgandenny House (the B & B where we stayed), we hit the wineries. We went to Mirramar first and bought a white and a dessert wine. In fact, we bought a white and a dessert wine at nearly all the wineries! We also went to Burnbrae to get a bottle of their Late Harvest, Frog Rock for some Rose, Elliot Rock for their Ice Wine and Bunnamagoo - the newest winery in Mudgee. We also went to the olive factory to get some more of their fantastic garlic-infused olive oil. On Sunday, we went to Rylstone, but there was not too much to see there. Unfortunately, it was also quite wet, so our bushwalk was cut short. On the way home on Monday, we stopped at Logan Wines, where there were some great views. Shame we didn't get good weather, but now we have plenty of wine at home!
