Good Earth Fine Wine.

A cool autumn evening in Australia. Sipping on a fine Australian wine from the south east region, Banrock Station. It appears that I've struck gold. You see, this wine contributes to conservation projects around the world with 95 projects in 13 countries including research in climate change and restoring natural assets in Europe, preserving waterways in Australia and saving salmon in Canada. It's a Shiraz and Cabernet mix 52/48 and it's quite delicious.

Banrock Station strives for greater environmental responsibility with their packaging and sustainable wine techniques in the vineyard and winery. Hence the screw-off cap that I was very impressed with after tasting this wine. I purchased it at Trader Joe's for a steal and will keep this one in mind for traveling trips where you may be without a cork screw!




The seasons are different in Australia than in the United States. As we begin our spring season, Australia is gearing up for winter. What better night than to mix it up with the season of meals. We ate Breakfast for dinner. Omelette's to be exact.

 Elie had a Ham only with no cheese which is weird but not so much to her. I whipped up a sauteed onion, mushroom and smoked salmon, tossed with swiss cheese for Andy and I. Yummo!

Katy grazed on pasta noodles before softball and grapes and cottage cheese for dinner. She ended the night with a big bowl of ice cream with cold fudge topping and whipped topping.

Hannah snarfed down Jimmy Johns after syncro on her way to a 3 hr. Drivers Ed class. Not sure what she will end the night with.

And to answer your question, was the omelette Australian? Well, in spirit it was. Cozy for a cool and rainy autumn night.  Happy Is.
