Hi Julian…
The Grand Ridge Brewery promote themselves as Australia’s most awarded brewer. I must say that I have only recently discovered them, but I am impressed with the entire range from the lagers and pilseners to the stouts. Unfortunately not that widely available, but worth searching out.
No essence of fish soup on the menu tonight, but I have enjoyed that at the restaurant. The food at Vue de monde has got a little too ‘tricky’ in its construction lately, but it is still a great night out.
Hope you are enjoying some Australian favourites this Christmas.
Regards
Andrew

What I nice question to ask. We should follow this up with pictures of the Christmas table. I am already on leave from work and had planned for some time what to open for Christmas, but your post prompted me to go fossicking in the cellar. The 1980 Penfol...
THAT is as good as it gets!!...
Two of the fine Grange vintages within two weeks. Keeping in mind that it's a New World wine of only 55 years standing, that's not unlike knocking off a '45 Bordeaux and following with a '61 (Art - there's that Omega central tourbillon going down Andrew's...
Yes Andrew. There is a great story behind that dinner,surely
Those wines are sublime and the beer is a really interesting range. They have a very high alcohol beer called a hatlifter-not to my taste but they also make a great stout Enjoy the dinner and lets get some pics. Surely the famous "essence of fish soup" wi...
The Meal…
Hi pplater, I chose my words carefully, although I only meant to mislead you a little. While it is a Shannon Bennett meal, Shannon will not actually be in our kitchen. It is more of a glorified Christmas hamper, which you pick up on the day. It comes with...
A couple from Burgundy.
This is the initial selection. Having game so Burgundy seemed appropriate. From Armand Rousseau Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 1989 Sticking with Rousseau and having the 1987 Chambertin And for laughs and giggles as we never know what we are going to have wit...

You will drink all these fine bottles alone??? give me a call, my friend, and I will give you a hand! Best. Niclas
I'll be enjoying the last bottle in existence of your discovery . . .

I love the oven timer, but shouldn't you have got the chronograph...
... for that purpose? In all seriousness, I love the Senator Sixties range. There is a black dialed version in a rose gold case that has been on my mind since I first saw it last year and I will revisit that watch one day. I hope that watch is a nice Chri...
Art, Art, Art, did you tell me all, my friend?
