Journal Entries from Down Under Travelers

Monday, April 02, 2012

Hi Karen,

It is the old Willie Nelson song….on the road again…..we leave The Louise this morning and off the Mclaren Vale and more tastings, including Mollydooker!

The past two days have been filled with wonderful private tastings: Two Hands, Penfolds, Peter Lehmann, Elderton, with Knappstein, Skillagolee, and Kilikanoon yesterday. And 2 nice lunches each day. We decided to cancel both dinner reservations as it was just too much food & calories through the day….just not young enough to deal with it all!

YES, of course we purchased a Hill of Grace!!! And Helmut has been shopping at other places as well! As to your youthful folly..OMG!!!

And, yes, Brendon did have a surprise….as we were returning from our walk I thought it strange that Stuart did not take the main road back. We drove back through the hills and Brendon surprised us with canapes & champagne at a nice look out point. We were more than surprised, phlamoxed (hard typing on my iPhone with limited spell check)! So sweet of him!

Off to Adelaide and more sights, sounds, and wonderful people to encounter!

Till the next entry!

Hi Karen,

We are sitting here at The Louise and having a lovely breakfast. So time for my journal!

Arkaba Station was heaven…again as with Pretty Beach House, we felt at home. Brendon, Stuart, & Richard were amazing and we gained new friends. The region is spectacular and Helmut is looking to return to do the 4 day bush walk.

Mary Anne is a “hoot” as we say (I think I have seeded the term into Aussie speak already). She is so energetic & knowledgeable.

Yesterday we went to Henschke…saw the harvesting of the Grandfather rows on The Hill of Grace!! Add to that our driver back to the winery was none other than Stephen Henschke with Lottie the dachshund!!! According to Melanie, the marketing manager, we had just hit a trifecta!!

Then on to lunch with Jim & Pam Lambert of Lambert Estates…it took less than 5 minutes and we were friends. Both Jim & Pam are from the Milwaukee area where Helmut grew up. They invited us to their home for a home cooked dinner and outstanding wines!!

So we are off for more adventures today!!

Take care,

Marlies
