Bought some of their Mamre Brook Cabernet 2005. $25 a bottle. Will put them down a couple of years. Gosh Saltram make good BIG reds! Not so hot on the whites, didn't like the two I tried. Bought a coupel bottles of Perle: anyone here old enough to remember Barossa Pearl? Cheap, sweet bubbly piss! Well, Perle is named in honor of that and is (slightly) sweet. There all resemblence ends! This is gorgeous! Sip with desert or just fruit, fresh or dried, well chilled it will not be very sweet at all just fruity.
Barossa Valley has some good bookshops (and generally not that good antique shops) and I got a book on Mexican cooking (got interested in Mex cooking a while ago but lacked a good general Mexican cookbook.) Will have to skive off work and shoot up to Chile Mojo in Norwood for some ingredients (my yankee friends do say the Old El Paso stuff not too bad at all. They were totally amazed we didn't have Taco Bells all over the place
)Also a book on prosciutto--the sort of cookbook I like, small, single subject & beautifully produced--and a small one called curry, some real interesting recipes were in there.
Tomorrow back to work. UUGGHHH!!!
Also Cold Duck*, my favourite election night drink at uni. I see it has its own Wikipedia entry.
