a wonderful Sunday to wrap up the weekend.

went for Persian Cuisine for our brunch. Good experience, but food did not turn out as good as we thought it would be. Meat, loads of meat. Chicken and Lamb. Not forgetting the Natural Yoghurt Drink... *coughs*

Since we are up in the northern part of Sydney, we've decided to head to Mosman for a nice walk with breathtaking views. On the way there, we saw a banner "Mudgee Wine and Food Festival"

Something struck Denise's mind - Semilion Riesling from Mudgee, had a taste at Blue Mountains but could never find it in the shops and Semilion Riesling is not a common wine. So off we turn left towards Balmoral Beach, we saw a huge crowd, parking was difficult, every car was parked in every possible space. Wanted to give up but on the way out, we found one space. Thanks!

Lots of booths set up at the beachside and everyone is holding a glass. Nice souvenir glass from Mudgee for wine tasting - they can be purchased at $15 with 5 wine tasting tickets. 1 ticket gives you 40ml of the selected wine while 3 tickets give you a full glass. Experience.

Anyway, went to almost every booth but couldnt find the wine, starting to feel disappointed when Denise saw "Robert Stein" - looks very familiar, a look at the menu revealed Semillion Riesling. WooHoo. Got a bottle, satisfying. Besides that, it was nice stroll at the beach + good weather.

Eh? how did we get 4 glasses as shown in the picture? hmmmm...

anyway, good relaxing weekend. Like it. and thinking Mudgee as the next destination location.

have a good week ahead.
