“This 2018 may well be the best shiraz released in Australia this year.
It’s a superb release… We are looking at an ultra-long-term wine here, deserving of prime space in the best of cellars.” - Campbell Mattinson, Winefront. Online and Cellar Door from Tuesday September 3rd.

One of the advantages of walking around all day with a plant scientist is that he knows what all the plants are. So for those playing at home, see how many of these trees you can identify... 🤷‍♂️ These are from the… https://t.co/dZDP0DFLPK

Nice last full day in Ireland spent wandering around Cork, including Mass in the cathedral, prayer in lots of other churches, finding my own personal bacon, and discovering a pub that offers (for a few) to provide… https://t.co/MBqYiLDYrk

On our way from Bantry to Cork we spent a wonderful day at Cúil Aodha with our cousin Peadar O’Riada and four of his six siblings. Our cousin Alli (sp?) showed us through the Geodesic Dome home he is building… https://t.co/mxKTKnxy32

While driving along the Sheep’s Head Peninsula we came across a walk to a Mass Stone. These are flat stones in isolated places where the Catholics used to celebrate mass in the 17th and 18th centuries, in defiance… https://t.co/Z6go8COn0J

One of the hornpipe sets Dad and I play includes the tune “The humours of Tully Crine”. And Lo and Behold, on the way from Lisdoonvarna to Bantry, we found it! #ireland2019#jtoktravels #tullycrine#lisdoonvarna @… https://t.co/RsxPA6tiGQ

Hey Sean and Tom. Look what we had with dinner! Grandpa was very proud of ordering it in an authentic Austrian accent, and the waiter said “God bless you!” when he did (because it was a bit expensive and they only… https://t.co/c6mfxLhPMe

Comparative tasting. Our normal lunch is soup of the day with soda bread and a pint of Guinness. But today I’m taking the rather radical step of having Murphy’s instead. I know. Radical. #ireland2019#jtoktravels @… https://t.co/6ee1rQ4D1B

I do like going out into the bog to play the flute and compose. And eat blackberries... this from the bog near the old Atlantic hotel in Lisdoonvarna where my Dad used to cut turf for the fire when he was young.… https://t.co/dTawGlvPvy

The green green grass of Clonakilla (Clare). I suspect the grass at Clonakilla (Murrumbateman) is not quite so green at the moment... #ireland2019#jtoktravels @ Kilmihil https://t.co/1qbF7YR0OT

Quick visit yesterday to the Hotel my Grandparents ran, in which little Johnny Kirk served behind the bar and managed the wine cellar at the tender age of 14. Includes a shot of the real estate notice when they sold… https://t.co/o6foEGXfsW

Today was the first anniversary of my Mum’s death. It was nice to go to mass in the local church in Lisdoonvarna. Dad lit a candle for Mum in the side chapel, which has a stained glass window that was donated by his… https://t.co/v36b6HnZwe
