thanks for the pictures.

Now, That's Bacon!
Wouldn't mind having some of that Camembert either.
Also those yellow-handled knives. I've been looking online for some, but
not the VERY expensive ones from Italy.
And what's your table top? Some sort of slate? flagstone? Nice.

I didn't know that Thomas Hyland was Penfolds. So now, I know.

The first Penfolds I had was Koonunga Hill. That's what got me interested.

It was absolutely beautiful!!

Just the thick end, no tail, and no rind...... and when it was cooking you
could smell the woodsmoke.

I managed to find them in several of the *many* antiue/secondhand shops
that abound in the Barossa Valley.

I used to have quite a few of them at home, till I held a party with about
30 people attending. At the end of the night, I had about 4 left out of
about 12!!

Seems a lot of people like them!!

I think it's a granite..... if my memory serves me correctly!!

And very good too, for the price. (Around AUD$18)

I liked the Cab Sav, and the SO liked the Shiraz, so we got some of each!!

A *very* good wine. I remember recommending it to a friend who was going to
have a swish dinner party. At the time (about 7 years ago) it was $7.99 in
the bottle shops, and I used to buy it by the case. He got some, tried one
at home, and then went back and bought the whole Koonunga red stock from
the shop!!
It's popularity has increased since then, and it now shows in the price
markup.
