Pinot Unearthed's Tassie Dinner write up #1

We are extremely excited here at the vineyard to hear that our OBP2009 was well received at the Melbourne dinner hosted by the team at Pinot Unearthed! Their review of the evening has been posted on their blog.

Due to the state of my shoulder I was unable to travel up to Melbourne for the evening. I have to admit that I am more than a little disappointed about this, especially after reading about the menu Pure South matched to the wines. Mouthwateringly good!

The Peppermint Bay Cruise dinner is coming up early next month (April 7th), and Gryphonwood's OBP2009 will again be featured. This will be superb, as the dinner will be enjoyed on a cruise from Hobart aboard the Peppermint Bay II! Tickets are available here!

It doesn't end there...a third dinner has been announced for Sydney! This time, the event will be at  Fix St James. Gryphonwood is happy to have our wine included - check here for details of the dinner and ticket info.

Cheers!

Recovery Mode...

I am writing this with only my left hand, and it is sooo frustrating...

Surgery is done, and my right wing is clipped and tucked in a sling for at least the next month. All the 2011 fruit is now on the ground...all those little bunches of small berries. We tried a few of the riper berries as we snipped, and they had a good flavour.

Shame they all had to go on the ground.
