Sunday was another gorgeous day and so an outing to Main Ridge Dairy for a goats cheese sampling was in order. The goats cheeses were spectacular - very delicately flavoured but so tasty. The goats are the main attraction, of course, and I loved how the dairy (in the tasting notes) referred to them as 'our girls'. Dessert was a well-loved Australian biscuit called a yo-yo - this version was exceptionally light shortbread sandwiching vanilla icing. I think I will have to do another blog post on the other famous Australian dessert - the lamington. We are also assiduously working our way through all the flavours of Tim Tams (chocolate biscuits) - the caramel ones are definitely our favourite. After lunch we went to the vineyard 10 Minutes By Tractor for a tasting. (This will no doubt feature in another blog past about how Australians say it like it is - why is this vineyard called 10 Minutes by Tractor? Because it takes 10 minutes by tractor to go between the different fields...)
Hmmm... a blog post all about food and wine. Sounds about right to me...
