About Me

I live in the tropical state of Queensland in Australia and I have been married for over 43 years to my wonderful husband. We have two grown-up daughters and two grandsons and a very bossy granddaughter I was born in England, brought up in Nigeria on the West coast of Africa, then my parents emigrated to Australia in 1970 and brought me with them! Hubby and I are owned by a cat and a dog - and love reading, socialising and travelling.

Hamelin Bay - Rampant White - 2006

Another Western Australian winery from Margaret River. Picturesque drive into the tasting rooms - then a beautiful vista down into a valley over part of their vinyards.

Once again another winery that has staff that makes you feel welcome - and do not talk down to or at you.

This white blend has 3 whites in it - Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay - and they all combine to make a very yummy sit in the pool after work on a hot day drink. James Halliday has given this 90 points - and though I don't always agree with him - in this instance I do. As you have gathered by now I don't really do nose or taste - but this definitely had a kiwi fruit nose :) is light in the mouth - but stayed there for a while. I drank it by itself.

Here is a link to the winery - be sure to put it on your must visit list
