Not to be outdone by Moss Wood, the Moss Brothers down the road also took us out the back and gave us barrel samples of their next release Grenache from a giant Hungarian oak barrel... Bottles are so over rated :) Mate, I’ll start taking crappy shots if you can hook up a few more back stage passes :) We had a great time indeed… Not to be outdone by Moss Wood, the Moss Brothers down the road also took us out the back and gave us barrel samples of their next release Grenache from a giant Hungarian oak barrel… Bottles are so over rated :)

Glad to hear you had fun though chief!

Perish the thought Edward ! Maybe you need to see a doctor... oh wait ;) I loved the feel of the smaller places we went to the most I think. Being able to chat casually and get some insight into why the wine was made in a particular style. I now have a much better understanding of French vs American oak... and why tight grained medium toast barrels from Tronçais are so good. The food was indeed from Wino's. We had quite a great meal there. Though two corked bottles of LZ Rioja (for the Spanish wine loving birthday girl) were a bit of a let down. A few days without a drink !?! Perish the thought Edward !

Despite getting busier, it is still one of my favourite places to visit. Regarding the food in the last image - is that from Winos? Matt,
