The weather held for us thankfully on Friday 16th June as we set off to Anderson’s Winery at Rutherglen, established in 1992 by Howard Anderson. His daughter Christobelle, who had graduated with First Class Honours in Winemaking at Adelaide University, welcomed us to their cellar door. They are known, and have won many awards, for their sparkling wines and I can understand why. They are made in the traditional method and have the lightest of bubbles. There is a good selection of whites and reds with all grapes being grown on their eight and half hectare property.
Our tasting was followed by a delicious lunch at Pickled Sisters in Rutherglen.
Next month’s visit on Friday 21st July is to Piano Piano Winery at 852 Beechworth-Wangaratta Rd, Everton followed by lunch at the King River Cafe in Oxley.
Please note change of meeting place. We will now meet in the Seniors Car Park , same time at 10.00 am.
Please let me know by Sunday 16 July if you will be coming. I notify our numbers to both venues on Monday morning. RSVP to [email protected] or text 0428 696 408.
