Three bottles - grapes vs honey, etc.

Rockford hand picked Riesling 2006 from Eden Valley from a vineyard started back in the 1850's
by English pioneers and still adhering to the old traditions of wine making.

The 2nd bottle had Dick very interested, he didn't know he had this bottle, must have been
given to him at some time in the past. A Cabernet Sauvignon, vintage 1988, from the
Orlando Rowland Flat winery, the grapes coming from various vineyards in South Australia.

The 3rd bottle comes from a local winery in the Southern Vales, made from fermented honey,
nectar to the Greek Gods and the honeymoon drink of the Vikings
who believed it to have the virtues of an aphrodisiac!

All special bottles in their own way.

Very good idea to juxtapose different millesimes of very old, old and not so old wines ! Leaves are the very new !!!!

Such a clever still life with the grape leaves! Let's crack open the bottles and have a party!

Yikes! That's a heady brew of beverages there, Yvonne! I'll go for the Cabernet Sauvignon :o)

I think the bottles & labels are sometimes as good as the drop itself.
