Wine and Korean Food

OK, so I am sorry. I totally spaced on bringing my camera on the wine tour with me (and roaming gnome), but hey, here are the spoils of the tour:

 Marie and I really enjoyed the tour and the tasting. The coupon included a full 45 minute tour of the grounds and the story of the history and family of the winery. The family originally came from Germany and planned to grow tobacco on the land, but after some difficulty and observing neighbors' success with growing grapes, they joined the wine trade. Many of the buildings still on site were the originals build in the late 1800's. It was really cool to see how they used a lot of the original facilities to process the grapes and make the wine.

After the tour, we were treated to a tasting of as many wines as we could stand, then enjoyed an antipasto platter lunch of crusty bread, ham, salami, cheese spread, olives, pickles, and eggplant- very yummy! We both bought bottles of our favorite wines before we left and began our journey back through the hills to Adelaide.

Today I tried the Korean restaurant suggested to me by Sang, my grandmother's preacher. The owner of this restaurant, called Seoul Express, is Sang's sister in law. I am happy to report I really enjoyed my lunch! I ordered something called Bul Gi Go or something like that. It was shredded beef with vegetables and rice, delivered to you still sizzling on a cast iron platter- so good!

I asked to speak with the owner, but the girl I spoke to said she was not there- she was at their other restaurant that will be opening soon- a Korean restaurant specializing in Korean BBQ called KoBa. I will try to see if I can meet her again sometime; I will definitely be going back!
