Off to the Yarra Wineries

What better way to celebrate the end of exams than with a round of bubbly?? The last time we finished our exams in Autumn, it was to the white wines of Manchester Lane. This time, we head off to the vines of the Yarra Valley.

We visited Yering Station (the oldest winery in Victoria), the Yarra Valley Dairy, Domaine Chandon and De Bortoli. Sipping our Pinot Noirs and savouring Persian Cheese, we happily bought wine without bringing any glasses nor wine-opener (duh!). But were compensated with a bottle during lunch and lots more at the different cellar doors. Very appropriate since my last movie on Valentine's Day was "Sideways", a show that brought a new appreciation of the Napa Valley Wines (and Pinots in general).

Not to mention, was sleepy on the way back. Clara, was as usual, ridiculously sober. Cindy was the default 'sober-ist'.
