Food & Wine

Mudgee wine producers arranged the Manly Food & Wine festival on Sunday. It was a very pleasant way of spending an afternoon. You start off buying a tasting-glass and a bunch of coupons. Then you wonder around the stalls and exchange the coupons for half a standard glass of wine. They also had cheese and seafood stalls. We found a sunny spot and took turns in finding interesting wines to taste. We also had some excellent deep-fried calamari, garlic prawns and an interesting cheese I don't remember the name of. It was a cross between a brie and a Cheddar... I bought 3 bottles of a very nice Semillion which I took home for later. They were $22 each, way more than I normally spend, so they will have to wait for some extra special occasion or at least until I have run out of the cheaper stuff...
