Pause

And so it was, a quiet moment with a German - Villa Wolf Pinot Gris from the Pflaz. This is the Palatinate region which is home to Germany's oldest wine road. The wine was a nice white - crisp yet soft as well as sweet. The bar is good too. Worth a visit. The perfect place for a pause. There's atmosphere, but you can still hear yourself think. A great space and a cool ceiling fan. The wine list is brief, but if it's a bottle you're having, you can access the full wine lists from The Euro and Urbane restaurants (downstairs), which are very solid.



The night finished up at home with a fantastic Shiraz chosen by Si. Part of Wirra Wirra's range, an RSW McLaren Vale Shiraz. This is one of their flagship wines named after Robert Strangways Wigley who established Wirra Wirra wines back in 1894. Not surprisingly, this is a very fine drop. And once again, I was reminded why Australian Shiraz has such a renowned name.
