It was all hands on deck with the bottling of our limited release 2010 Reserve Chardonnay at Giaconda in Beechworth.

Rick thinks this is one of the best Reserve Chardonnays we have made.

Lemon lime colour with a slight golden characteristic. Incredible depth and length.

I also think it is one of the best we have made!

The Melbourne Wine Room in St Kilda has a great atmosphere.

Even better atmosphere if you are tasting some well reviewed chardonnays.

Gourmet Traveller Wine magazine has teamed up with 10 chardonnay creators from Australia and NZ.

And Toolangi's award winning 2007 Estate Chardonnay will be there.

The dinner is on Wednesday 26 October. Give Laura Hanrahan from Gourmet Traveller Wine a call on 02 8116 9386 if you would like to be part of this Chardonnay Tasting hosted by Nick Stock.

We'll be there, so say hello!

We all love MasterChef. So imagine our excitement when Greg Duncan Powell called us a perfect match.

Greg chose our 2010 Viognier as a wine match for a Mystery Box recipe in the latest issue of MasterChef magazine.

The grilled snapper with yoghurt potatoes looks like a great spring recipe. 

Enjoy.

If you don't feel like watching the Grand Final this weekend, why don't you come to the Yarra Valley and meet Garry Hounsell?

Garry will be at the Yarra Valley Dairy on October 1 from midday to 5pm showing the current range of Toolangi wines. So it's a perfect opportunity to have a chat with Garry.

The unique Yarra Valley Dairy is at 70-80 Mc Meikans Rd, Yering.

Alway a great place to visit.
