Have you been following along as the World Wine Travel writers made their way around Spain in 2021? Well, for 2022, our focus is going to be the wine regions of Australia and New Zealand. So, get ready to head Down Under with us. Here's what the group has planned...
- Cool climate Happs Semillon from Margaret River by Avvinare
- Getting to Know Margaret River through Vasse Felix by Food Wine Click!
- Hooroo! Aussie Burgers with the Lot + Hope Estate 2015 The Ripper Shiraz by Culinary Adventures with Camilla
- Margaret River Shiraz Kicks Off Virtual Trip Down Under by My Full Wine Glass
- Margaret River’s Vinaceous Voodoo Moon Malbec Makes You Howl for Blue Cheese BBQ by Wine Predator...Gwendolyn Alley
A decade ago, I spent six weeks taking elementary kids on a culinary tour of Australia. We tried vegemite; we made pavlovas and Australian meat pies.
My youngest son has been been infatuated with wombats since first grade - I have no idea why - but he was thrilled to be able to bring his stuffed animal to school for the class. And he threw on his wool kangaroo hat for good measure.
My older son learned to play the digeridoo for that class. All of the classes I led at their school were a learning experience for all of us.
But I didn't delve into Australian wines at all. It's time to fix that with this year's focus. I am hosting January with our first exploration of the Western Australian wine region.
While the wine region is relatively small, compared to the entire western part of the country, there was several subregions to get you started. Look for wines from the Swan District, Perth Hills, Peel, Geographe, Margaret River, Blackwood Valley, Manjimup, Pemberton, or Great Southern.
I look forward to learning from all of the #WorldWineTravel writers. I will likely "pull some snags out of the eski and toss
them on the barbie for the blokes." Translation: "...pull some sausages out of the fridge
and toss them on the grill for my guys." Maybe. Or I might get a little bit more creative since we have some time. Here are the details for participation.
