Just a few photographs from the superb Sydney trip remain to be processed; my Australia flickr set now numbers 124 photos. Latest additions include those taken in the Blue Mountains with more from Sydney proper still to come. I’m also holding back a couple of favourites….

This snap was taken at one of the Naked Wines opening tastings held in a pub garden just a few steps down the road from their offices. It was packed and the light made it rather tricky to take anything publishable; a fun night though. By all accounts Naked Wines Australia is doing mighty fine in the few short weeks since its launch.

Empty Glass at a Naked Wine Tasting – the latest in the Sunday Snapshots series of photographs with a wine related theme, whether bottles, glasses, vineyards or the back scenes of wineries.

Wine Tasting Tuscan Style

Opening with the ‘basic’ wines he was almost apologetic at their simplicity. Personally I found them a delight; no idea of price at the time (the top of the range comes in at a very reasonable €20 cellar door) but to a bottle these ‘lesser’ wines were lovely, offering a balanced richness, a true regional acidic streak in the RI.VA.LE Chianti and a touch riper, softer palate to the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.
