The photos on Gavin's website look great, and I am profoundly jealous, looking at the collection of wines served, that I was not there to enjoy them (even if it meant the hardship of grape picking in 40 degree heat!!). I am glad to see the Matarius 2010 going down well; it was great when Roger was good enough to show me it when I visited in October. I am also pleased the symposium 06 described as exceptional. I have some left from my visit; maybe time to open them!! It sounds like we have another exciting vintage to look forward to.

Homemade Boerwors and Chiang Mai with a good steak, went down a treat, if I do say so myself. Thanks to Harry for inspiring me. How was the Thursday picking? Looked like it was threatening to rain. I would have liked rain on Saturday ;) The 2012 Harvest:

Your wines even more so. I'll put my order in now for fountains of Simpatico and Symphony for our visit plus a few supermodels, if you can spare 'em. Mike Roger,

Have great memories of the BBQ and all those wines from several years ago - I think it was 2008! We look like making the trip downunder in 2013, after being missing in action for a few years. Probably be around the time of the Adelaide Fringe Festival. May be a grand tour through NSW, VIC and SA vineyards as before. Will let you know if we plan to hit McLaren Vale. Best, Mike Pollard Hi Roger,

My husbands name is Marius and we live in aldinga, it would be great to come see the winery some time, we got some of your wine from a friend and we loved it.

Had my last 2000 Marius on new years, it was still great, full of life and old leather. The wine made it to 12 years, I know you wern’t shure about the cork. Thanks!
