Dan joins us with something we don't hear often enouqh... a qood news story.
Hoorah!
The three main walls of internal lining got did this weekend.
The final wall, floor, brick plinth for the wood/fired heater, bench seat, flue and vents are all but left to go.
Fingers crossed it will be done by Easter … 😳😳😳
Then onto the stairs down from the house …
This is some damn fine #gippsland #pinotnoir
So damn bright, fresh, crunchy, and sheesh … just bloody delicious.
Even better, I grabbed it at the local Foster Cellarbrations who do well to support local.
Also, how good is Pinot! ❤️🍷

Haven’t posted for a bit but we’ve been working on it, I promise.
Good news, it’s all enclosed, doors on and the window made it in without the glass breaking which was a significant bonus (12mm thick and yes, we custom made the frame)
We’ve insulated inside and closed off the storage cupboard. Next up, internal lining with the incredible boards from (apologies for the poor craftsmanship!).
Pochi has been very helpful especially with all the precious cutting of the boards.
Then, we build a brick plinth under the floor for the wood fired heater. Install that and we’re done …. (maybe by Easter??? 😳)
(Third pic is the view to our place from our wonderful neighbor’s property. Next project, paint the outside of the house)

Hundreds of acres of vineyards have been lost with some barely recognizable of what they once were.
We also update here on the number of wineries currently directly impacted included over 20 on the Harcourt Coolstore fire.
Close to 250,000 bottles of wine have been destroyed.
We’ve updated the website with a list of the impacted wineries and will continue to update as more information comes to hand.
Again, this is still an active emergency so please follow advice from emergency services.
Take care, be safe, check in with your community.
More information will follow as it comes to hand.

The current bushfires across parts of Victoria have had a significant impact on members of the wine community.
For some, the effects have been felt immediately and deeply, while for others, the challenges may continue to unfold in the days and weeks ahead.
Wine Victoria is here to support the wine community during this time.
If you or your business have been impacted and you’re unsure where to turn, or would value help navigating what support is available, please reach out. We can help connect you with relevant services, share information, or simply listen.
We’ve consolidated links to bushfire support, guidance and practical information relevant to the current situation, recognising that different forms of support may be needed at different stages. Links to Bushfire Resources & Support can be found on our homepage at
Take care and stay safe.
Wonderful Cinq à Sept Pinot Noir Vermouth & Prosecco to top up.
Is very, very nice.

Very proud of for taking out “Best Wine Themed Event” at the wine awards
The award was from my last tour before handing the reins over to the incredible at the end of last year.
You’re a legend mate, and I’m so proud of how you’ve continued to grow it!
Thank you to all who have been part of the journey, continue to as it grows and grows, who have joined us, discovered it, staffed it (past and present), built it, cheered from the sidelines and or been in its orbit.
Thanks also to for whom without them, it literally would not be here today. In their hands it continues to grow and grow.
And special shout out to the team (where I now call home btw!) for amplifying it year after year and spreading the word so far and wide to audiences across the country.
Someone asked me recently what does it take to make a festival.
The answer is simple.
Don’t build a festival.
Build a Community.
A community who comes together in collaboration, not competition.
I know all the fellow nominees, and other incredible festivals across the country live this.
Cos people want to live and learn about wine the same way they imbibe it, socially.
Thank you.
This one meant a lot.
❤️
Sheesh …. That was big day.
We finally got the frame up for the sauna and clad the back wall (as it faces the retaining wall).
That timber is just wonderful and will push hard to get the rest of the cladding done soon.
So many months in the making, it was pretty darn exciting to see it begin to take shape.
The view you’ll get from the big window frame is epic (thanks and Francis!).
We had hoped to get the roof on today but that will have to be for another day.
Bloody shattered!
Huge shout out to the for driving this whole thing and putting up with the poor trades person she has to deal with (aka me!)
