Pinot noir great style

As someone who has been known to suffer from the odd bout of gout, I can say that I've noticed that the preservatives in wine can cause an on set. As part of gout management, I specifically look for wine (unfortunately white, as red is a real gout no-no) with no preservatives and they are few and far between. Great to see it being advertised so prominently!

Now, OT ... why is there a push bike lying on the floor behind? Seems odd from a wine tasting establishment (if that's what it is) ... many people have trouble staying on their feet anyway, without the added excitement of negotiating push bikes on floors! :p
 
When London has a beautiful evening like last night it is glorious on the South Bank - then went to see the live recording of the Last Leg - great night

This was at Dark mof_'s 'Winter Feast', so essentially stalls which could have all sorts of stuff behind them. How about a car?

Our last sightseeing in Portugal, Queluz palace. Doctor allowed my partner to continue the trip. Going to Seville today which is almost 40 degree :shock:.

Looking out from the Royal Albatross Centre on the Otago Peninsula. If you look carefully you can see what is an 11kg albatross chick nesting on the headland.

RooFlyer - did you go for the gin and yuzu? 2 of my most favourite things!

I was giving serious consideration to escaping to Tassie to the festival but had in my head it was in July... and to make matters worse, a good mate pops up on Instagram today posting photos from there :(

Didn't try that particular one ... there were so many to choose from. Also frankly they were quite expensive - mostly $8 and a number at $12 per drink. Also other drinks to try over the evening ... such as the Pinot Noir from Sailor Seeks Horse winery and the choc milk stout from T Bone brewery.

Timing is easy to remember ... the week concluding with the winter solstice, when the almost-nude-swim takes place.
 
View from the DRW QP. These were taken seconds apart proving two things:

1. No two departure profiles are alike.

2. I won't be winning any photography awards.

Notice the third guy is barely off the deck and he's wheels up already.
