Penfolds Bin 407

Booyah!

We've hit gold here folks, this is a beautiful drinking wine and I have...er..had 6 bottles in my cellar.  Sadly *sniggers, two have now gone to wine heaven courtesy of myself, my son and even my husband, who's look of surprise was priceless. We loved this!  No idea of the colour, tasting notes of whatever, we shared it over a roast pork with fennel, mushrooms and roast vegies. Wonderful stuff, and I have another 4 bottles left. *happy dance.

Penfolds = quality

We recently visited the Barossa again and of course Penfolds is a must-do. We took our sons and their partners to show them the area, teach them what little we know, and to make new memories.
Such an old winery, and always stunning, we loved the changing autumnal grapes leaves

Tables set up for private tastings of the famous Penfolds Grange
When tasting, look at the wine, note the colour and clarity, then swirl, sniff (get your whole snoz in there!) then sip, holding the wine in  your mouth whilst breathing out. Swirl it in your mouth, and swallow.

In the foyer of Penfolds - ask questions, and build on your knowledge
Take the time to really understand the wines, ask questions, learn and enjoy.
