Secrets to a long happy marriage with wine....

Poh from Poh's Kitchen ABC1 is coming to lunch!

51 days until the Worlds Longest Lunch in Marysville..

are the Tf's a little excited??? ...oh Jimmy crickets we are!

We caught up with the organising team and were updated:

Poh from Poh's Kitchen ABC1 is the special guest this year... for those who have been living with out tv or print media..here is a little bit about this charismatic talented person.

"Poh Ling Yeow 's food career began in the first season of MasterChef Australia.
Upon coming runner up in the finale, Poh was offered to present her own cooking show Poh's kitchen, on ABC1, which is now in production for the third series.

Poh has been able to fulfil a life-long dream of publishing a cookbook in 2010 which stayed in the top 10 Australian bestsellers list for six weeks. She is currently writing her second cookbook.

Poh was a full time artist before her life was turned on its head with food and she continues to paint. Exhibiting prolifically since 2002, she has over 20 exhibition under her belt, 10 of which have been solos. Her work appears in several corporate collections."

So back to the lunch.... attendees to the lunch will enjoy being part of Marysvilles long table that will meander on the gorgeous Steavensons River flats set in the lush green valley, where our regions finest chefs will prepare a sumptuous menu, matched with Upper Goulburn wines. 
This years event will be the eighth year of the popular lunch and is an enjoyable way to relax, mingle with locals, friends and family and visitors from Melbourne and discover the regions finest in food, wine and culture.

Upper Goulburn Wine regions newest blog

An new exciting initiative for the Upper Goulburn Winegrowers Association.


A blog so we can all keep up to date on what is happening out in our region winewise....


One new post the Travelling- foodies noticed in the new blog was 

"Philip Lobley Wines - another new label in our region doing great things.

Phil Lobley and his wife Lyn will be talking up their Philip Lobley Label wines and Lyn's wonderful Wild Crust breads on Wednesday 23rd and Thursday 24th November and are also hosting a dinner at Provenance Food and Wine 288 Smith Street Collingwood.   Lyn will talk Sourdough bread and Wild Crust Bakery and Phil will chat about wine. On a vintage note, 2012 is looking great with good rains and the prospect of a slightly drier summer than 2011 due to the IOD being in a neutral phase, said Phil"

So many dinners! So many wines....How delightful!!

Congratulations to Susan and the Winegrowers on a great new blog!

Keep it coming!
