Fruitful start to the season
This year is shaping up to be another cracker (touch wood). It looks like a great year for those of us who are chemical free;
Clover is growing out of control, giving us great natural nitrogen for the vines and Dandelions are everywhere,
creating a food source for our tiny predatory wasps which feed on vineyard pests (more on that next month).
Royal Adelaide Wine Show says.....................GOLD!!!
It took a while for it to settle down, but our Pinot Noir is looking as elegant as the 2008. Hence Gold like the 2008.

Dishwasher steamed salmon
Ingredients:
• Two smallish fillets of salmon
• Olive oil, salt, pepper & Lime
Step 1:
Put both salmon fillets on a coated piece
of aluminium
and season with lime, salt and pepper.
Step 2:
Put
another
coated sheet of foil, on top of the fillets
rolling sides in tightly. Make sure your foil
doesn’t tear or your dishwasher will smell like fish
for at
least a week.
Step 3:
Stick the double-wrapped foil packet on the top shelf of your
dishwasher. (You can also stick dishes in there if you want.) Turn on
the dishwasher, both a wash and a dry cycle.
Disable the Energy Star power
saver mode (it won’t get hot enough), use
regular cycle.
Congratulations to Bernard Murray of Victoria for winning the monthly wine draw. He will enjoy two bottles of the six silver medal winning 2008 Ambriel's Gift Cabernet Sauvignon.

“Is that you talking or the wine?” His wife replies.
“it’s me talking...to the wine.”
