Our friends arranged to take us for a return visit to Patrick Bertola at Lion Mill Vineyards, Mt Helena http://lionmillvineyards.com.au/
Last time I’d jokingly asked Patrick about his retirement plans and hot they might fit in with ours – if I could persuade P, (and the small impediment of how to get over my fear of harvesting grapes amongst snakes and spiders!)
Patrick has impressive qualifications and experience in wine growing and one can have a really interesting discussion about growing and mixing whilst sampling, overlooking the vines.
