This month's U3A Wine Appreciation group met at Anderson Winery in Rutherglen. Opening in 1993, experienced Winemaker Howard Anderson and his daughter Christobelle make a wide range of small batch hand-crafted premium wines. With only 8 high yielding hectares of vines, using no imported grapes, and more importantly, minimal irrigation, Anderson creates superbly refined red wines, plus some whites...and a rather smooth Muscat!
We enjoyed socialising in the wine cellar, tasting and buying.
Then our hungry group drove to the nearby historic town of Chiltern. Lunch was served in the small dining room of the partly renovated Telegraph Hotel.

Thanks to duo Heather and Keith Rogers, we enjoyed another day out.
