Red Red Wine

It was my birthday yesterday I'm now 25 and still not feeling old :) Although slight panic crossed my brain when Luke was taking the piss this morning saying I am 25 still no proper job, no kids, no home and no money..(and with a black eye).. then he added that my mum must be proud! Haha brilliant! To be honest I'm not too worried, I will get to the adulthood eventually. It just takes a bit more time and effort. 

For my bday we booked a winery tour to Yarra Valley. The tour bus took us to four different wineries, all of them were pretty good and the scenery was absolutely amazing. We tasted approx. 30 different wines and also had lunch at Rochford winery. Was very lucky it was mostly sunny as today it has been pouring down all day. After drinking wines all day we felt quite knackered so it was nice to come home and almost straight to the dinner table. Al's mum Sally had cooked me a bday meal and a chocolate cake! Great! And there was packages waiting for me from Finland. All in all very happy day and was glad I got to spend it with Alex <3

First winery was called Yering Station.

Next we went to Rochford Club and tasted about 10 wines and had nice salmon with purple(!)potatoes for lunch.

At Rochford winery

3rd winery was called Yering Farm, it was a bit smaller than the other wineries and for that reason had much more character. According to Al the wines weren't as good as the other one but I think some of them were good enough. Maybe after tasting so many wines they all start to taste a bit similar.

Last place was Chandon were they make a lot of sparkling wines. One of the vintage sparklings were made with a similar method to Champagne and have to say that was really nice. Wanted to buy a bottle but it's slightly too expansive for me at the moment. 

Almost forgot.. here is also a pic of the mirror Al made me for my bday. Linda had an old chest of drawers and I liked the mirror so Al took the mirror off and added the knobs to it so I can hang up stuff. It is so pretty and there is even little pink flowers on the knobs! Thank you so much!!
