Rosemount Estate is the name
a barrel full of discarded bottles..
Rosemount O 2007 is good, sadly I didn't have enough local currencies..
Another stopover for pictures of the beautiful countryside...
Coin-operated BBQ pit just like the one we have in school...
Surprisingly, lunch wasn't included in the very expensive day tour! The last time I came, we had a
wonderful beef steak lunch @ a local winery.
Eventually, we found ourselves at some expensive tourist-cafeteria with a so-call 25% discount for
YHA members. This piece of overcooked chicken + fries above cost ~A$12.50 (S$17.50).
An archaeologist would appreciate this because the meat is tough as fossil
probably the biggest bottle in the world!
3rd winery. I was here 6-years ago, it was harvest season back then. The foreground you see in the
photo was filled with tanks of freshly plugged grapes & busy forklifts.
4,500 litres barrel.
I read that celebrities would purchase the whole barrel in advance. When they need a drink, the
winery would bottle some & ship it to them.
Our guide call this winery HOPE-less
cheese tasting @ the Smelly Cheese Shop
Very mouth watering but no thanks, it's cold here...
Despite the tourist-price, I really wanted to buy the cheese. Unfortunately, they have to be kept
refrigerated. =(
In the end I picked a very tasty mild blue cheese for Bao as gift...
Here's our last yet haunted winery... not!
The abandoned house reminds me of the fully destructible physics in

Family run winery, this is what people refer to as "boutique
wines", small & limited quantities, not exported.
It is like we are entering somebody's home...
We had wines (which are pretty bad in my opinion) while the
owner talks about horse psychology & stuff...
I was "trapped" in this living room & had no choice but
to swallow this generous yet horrible vintage...
With my hands empty, we were sent back to the Hunters Valley YHA...
Vegetable garden @ the back of the hostel.
The sky turns purple as the sun sets, you don't see it in Singapore...
I know it doesn't looks purple in the
pic, damn N80
Dinner @ a small Japanese restaurants run by Japanese & local Jap students
