I'm a bit behind (that's an understatement considering we're two weeks into the trip in NZ) but better late than never. So, a recap on the Hunter Valley. Our awesome friend Josh, who was a quite keen on Clare, was happy to drive us around for the day to taste some wine. The night before we snuck into a camper holiday park to get a shower in and joked around about having a champagne breakfast in the morning... that dream came true. Our first stop on the wine tour was at Peterson's and tasted their flight of bubbles and finished off with a fresh oysters!
Breakfast of champions
Prost!
We stopped at a few more, Brokenwood, Audrey Wilkinson... I'll have to double check my receipts and update this blog later... but my favorite one called Tempus Two had a patent on their labeling process. They used pewter and copper labels and the wine was pretty decent especially considering the price. I bought a tempranillo with intentions to save it and bring it back to the states... it was killed about a week later but I saved the copper that came with it :)
