Yarra Valley

Last weekend (not the one just gone, but the one before that) Paul and I went to the Yarra Valley with a group of friends. We had lunch at Giant Steps/Innocent Bystander and visited a bunch of wineries. It was a really fun day and the weather was pretty good (for Melbourne) so I got lots of photos that I can bore you with...

They actually have one of the nicest Yarra Valley Pinot's I've tasted

    Good pics!! I totally agree with the call on the Boat O'Craigo Pinot, actually their wines in general ... they were different, unusual. Generally I am not a fan of pinot's, I tend to go for the Big Bustling Barossa Shiraz, but I was surprisingly impressed with this wine. Maybe we have been in Melbourne long enough to appreciate the lighter side of life :-)
