to start sampling wines at about 10 am in the morning? Is it do you think? I went to Stanthorpe with friends for an overnight sojourn. I had never been to Stanthorpe and well I would definitely go back again. We did a winery tour - which was excellent - however when I was sloshing back reds, whites, sparkling and fortified by about 10.30 in the morning. WE didn't get back to our B & B until 6 ! I was not drunky enough though to:
- not pick the newlywed honeymooners - coffee anyone?
- not be annoyed by the wine boffin who asked a continual raft of stupid questions
- decide that people are snobby about wines. I have decided to no longer be a wine snob and just drink what I like - even if at the point in my life it is a really sweet wine. I LIKE IT!!
WE did try and break up the wine sampling by visiting an apple farm - where the lady kindly told us we could pick apples. so we all trudged out to the orchard and well - hello DEAD Apples. Please excuse my crazy hair on this photo - keep in mind I was probably tanked an had not eaten :)

I have never been to a winery in me whole life...so I am jealous. It sounds like you had a tip-top time and I endorse your decision to never drink wine that you dont like....(however, I have never met one I didn't like !!!)...so mayhaps on Saturday arvo you might inpart some wine knoweldge ?
Also, here's a freaky cooincidence - we know a relstive who is in Stanthorpe pickin' apples this week !!!
Don't pick the last apple....noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I fell for the trick of the poisoned apple...looks harmless enough, and given that you were a bit tipsy - I'd suugest that grog and apple pickin' are a dangerous combo !
i believe the wine made your hair crazy you poor thing
Good to see you out and about !
