And the days just get stranger... We worked out a better breakfast in Angaston called Blond Coffee which had all around good stuff as well as a crowd (always a good sign!)...
We showed up at a small to medium producer called Two Hands and were extremely well taken care of BY EVERYBODY THERE. The "body count" of stuff tasted is unknown particularly with all of the barrel samples as well as lots of bottles over a 2 1/2 hour period. Luckily we were spitting and dumping because this could go bad otherwise. We even missed lunch completely (fortunately we had bars in the bag to eat). The 2012 vintage seems really good based on barrel samples here and elsewhere.
At Two Hands, Ben as well as Michael the owner were knowledgeable, talented, and well traveled. We had an absolute blast and would have easily stayed at least another hour at a minimum if not for another appointment across the valley.[Editor note: Lunch consisted of a Power Bar each for Marc and +Jill. Please do not judge.]
We had to drive to and attend a Henschke tasting/tour as well. This was another fabulous and informative tour of the vineyards. We also tasted 10 wines over the last 90+ minutes and they were beautiful.
It wasn't a physically active day (although Jill did run and I swam at a great facility in Tanunda). We mostly just gained some purple teeth and experienced some spectacular wines. What a day and region.
We ended with a walk to dinner and our first kangaroo at a restaurant. It was good but the home cooked version by Shelly with three presentations was actually better.
