| A couple of weeks ago a friend gave us some beautiful Figs. I cut almost to the base, through the middle(into quarters). Then wrapped the base and sides with Prosciutto and stuffed the middle with soft Blue Cheese. They were baked in a moderate oven for around 15-20 minutes ... till the Prosciutto is crunchy. Then we enjoyed them with a glass of Rose |
 |
| Ready for the oven. |
 |
| They were really delicious... |
 |
| The old homestead at the Seppelts property. |
 |
| We went on a tour of the underground drives.... |
 |
| There are over 2 km of tunnels burried under the winery and its pretty much full of aging wine and old french mould. |
 |
| The crest of honour. |
 |
| Certain dignitaries have private vaults to hold their collections, this one belonged to Malcom Fraser. |
 |
| So many different tunnels and features all butied in an underground warren. |
 |
| Apparently Dame Nellie Melba had a bath in Shiraz... somewhere in this private lair, back in the day. |
 |
| The old French method of making sparkling wine. |
 |
| The off limits museum with limited editions of all the vintages. Practically no one gets to enter in here. |
 |
| We tasted lots of wines at the end and finished on a big note with the $100.00 bottle shiraz. |
 |
| The main house. |
 |
| The Servants Quarters |
 |
| We had a deltightful alfresco meal |
 |
| Breakfast.... |
 |
| More breakfast. |
 |
| Just delicious. |
 |
| So relaxed....such a lovely time. |
 |
| Lots of candles on the mantle piece... |
 |
| And Bunting... |
 |
| Lots of food... |
 |
| And Bagels in the shape of 60's... |
 |
| It was a lovely way to cellebrate the passing of the years with friends and family... |
