first of the barossa haul arriving!

locals at the next table are joking about how sydney’s ‘freeways’ have tolls; funniest part is they’re way underestimating the actual cost

winding up my final night of holidays with a glass of champagne in a weird/cute faux-french wine bar (@ Apothecary 1878)

another bring-me-everything meal: excellent beef pho, whole quail, and fish cake rolls (@ Little NNQ)

Adelaide seems to be what happens when a city decides it won’t be the shitty backwater, and will instead be awesome

back at press* for a delicious raw kingfish and dry sparkling rosé (@ Press* food & wine)

Adelaide’s take on modern Asian is impressive; standout this sublime smoked trout (@ Gin Long Canteen)

Adelaide is lovely, but so tiny I keep walking three times the distance just cause I haven’t figured out the scale of the map

03July2014 11:08

next, a rum cocktail, and an incredibly weird bit of improv comedy (@ La Boheme)

03July2014 08:58

next, actual (if deliciously non-traditional) pintxos: one mushroom w/ capsicum tortilla, and this sweet potato and jamon iberico; glass of mencia to match (@ udaberri)

03July2014 07:40

second stop a little bigger than I thought: a pancetta salad and a smooth rioja tempranillo (@ The Gallery)

Adelaide seems to have a tapas thing going, so this evening I'm bar hopping; first up, veal croquettes and a côtes du rhône (@ Press* food & wine)

a bit of NYC in Adelaide (@ Downtown HDCB)

03July2014 03:58

it’s not actually that cold, but winter in SA seems to mean beautiful fires everywhere

03July2014 03:24

oh alright, one more winery, on the way back to adelaide; cute family place making very french style wines (@ Somerled Wines)

02July2014 11:13

the old capitalists at the next table reckon “the thing that’s wrong with Australia is labour has become too expensive”

02July2014 10:31

duck two ways. yes. (@ Vintners Bar & Grill)

02July2014 06:07

love the wine geek labels (@ Yelland and Papps)

02July2014 06:06

saved the best till last; cute little family winery making some brilliant drops; another dozen please (@ Yelland and Papps)

02July2014 02:36

this place is impossibly pretty, and doing great wine (@ Hentley Farm Wines)

01July2014 12:18

very tasty corn fritter entree, but went downhill from there; a bit underwhelming given nearly everyone visiting or local to the barossa recommended 1918! (@ 1918 Bistro and Grill)
