Dribs and drabs

I (Julian) am currently in the enormous Goulburn Valley region -- Dookie to be exact -- kicking off what I hope will be an interesting part-time course of study (wine-related, of course). Forgive me if posts are few and far between these couple of weeks. On the plus side, some interesting wines are being tasted, including a most unexpected Semillon, made from fruit grown at the Dookie campus vineyard, twenty three years old and still singing.

More soon.
