Wine tasting at Federation Square...

Since it was such a nice day yesterday, Mark and I decided to meet up at Flinders Station, which is about a mile from our apartment, and walk home together rather than taking the train to Flagstaff Station a couple blocks away. I remembered reading about wine tastings at Federation Square, which is right across the street from Flinders, on the first Wednesday and Thursday of the month, so we decided to check it out. A different region is featured each month, and this month's was the Heathcote region, which I guess is known for Shiraz (one of our favorites).There were 18 different wineries, each with about 5 different wines to taste, and the cost was $18 for unlimited tastes from 4:30-8:30. We got there right at the beginning and there weren't very many people, so we decided to give it a go. Let's just say that we hit all of the wineries, one of them twice, and sampled pretty much every wine at each winery. After about an hour or so, we'd both had quite a bit to drink, but we wanted to make sure to get our money's worth, so we stuck around for another hour and had even more to drink. By that time, the place was pretty packed and we hadn't eaten yet, so we decided it was probably time to get home and make dinner. Based on our conditions, that was probably a good idea :) All I've got to say is thank goodness I didn't have to work today!
