  Hi all,

   

  Being from Canada, Tasmania is dang far away. Last year around this time though, I was lucky enough to be on a road trip through Tasmania in a little white Barina. Though the Barina wasn't so hot, the sights, hikes, wines and beer were incredible.

   

  One of the winery stops I made, was at Moorilla, just north of Hobart. The grounds were artful and the wines were impressive. It wasn't until later that I realized the head winemaker is a fellow Canadian. I managed to catch up with him via email, and hacked out the following article on my infant blog:

  I'd love hear what other people have been up to in Tasmania. 

   

  Cheers,

  Heather

  Yep, gotta love Tassie !! I lived at Freycinet for 3 years or so then did a vintage with Freycinet Vineyard in 05' helping Claude make some lovely wines, then took his advice and worked for Leeuwin Estate in Margs for 2 years or so. Ended up buying a holiday house in Tas.
  
  Down at Primrose Sands !! Cant wait to kick back on the Verandah and drink some east coast sunshine in a glass. Springvale, Freycinet, Craigie Knowe mmmmmmm oysters.
