April 29, 2016. Margaret River Valley wine tasting

LOCATION:  Margaret River, a Western Australia
WEATHER:  Mostly rain.  Highs around 60

Just so readers don't think that we "play" all the time,  I'll note that we went to a laundromat and did laundry in the morning.

Then, off to wine tasting.  We have a detailed map listing many of the wineries; it is chock full!  Today we are going north of Margaret River, where there are wineries every mile or so.  Most are small.  A few are fancy with gourmet restaurants.  This is a slow time for them....good for us.  We went to this winery where the owner has a WWII airplane in his hangar.  He flew the "kangaroo flight" from England to Perth.




We visited the oldest winery in the region, from the 1960s.

We had lunch in a brewery.  First time we've had chicken wings here.  A bit of a disappointment as they used their popular sweet chilli  (Aussie spelling) sauce.  


Not today...Since George was today's Skipper (designated driver), he spat out most of the wine tastings, and didn't even order pints of beer in the breweries.  


DINNER:  Tuna with pasta.  Used remaining veg, as we leave tomorrow.
