Please pardon the paucity of postings over the last week or so, but we've been busy tasting some wonderful red wines and haven't had internet access. There has been a lot of false advertising by hotels claiming to offer internet services -- something to watch for if you are travelling down here.
The weather has been very pleasant with sunshine and perfect summer days. There's no humidity so you get to say "It's hot, but it's a DRY heat . . ." which will no doubt sound familiar to anyone who's lived in the North!
After we left the Grampians, we stayed three days in each of the Coonawarra, Barossa and Clare Valley wine regions and two nights in Glenelg, a beach suburb of Adelaide. We visited McLaren Vale (20 minutes from Glenelg) and Adelaide Hills on our way to the Barossa. I didn't think I'd ever say this, but I (and my liver!) need some time off!
Most impressive wines
The good news is we get most of the good Australian wine in Canada, and the prices are very comparable to what we are siing here. There are some excellent small producers, but overall we are lucky to have such good selection and variety. I will have to post tasting notes later as internet time is running out.
