Wine and Wood

Last night I tasted a beautiful wine from the Heathcote area 120km north of Melbourne. So I've dived in and started to research local producers. The area is regarded as a boutique area with, many consider, the perfect soil and climate for the Rhone varietal. At one point a gold mining area it is growing as more and more vitners are moving in.

The producer does not irrigate and sells out every year. This one is definitely next on the list to try.

Wood
The Dutch design festival is over. One recent discovery is this website with an interesting mix of products. The joinery on the link above is all hand carved.

I will add the images tomorrow as the internet connection is not working very well at the moment/


Candle
This candle would be perfect on my dinning room table. No need for candlesticks!
