Reuben goes a wine tasting





On Saturday we decided to go to McLaren Vale to do some wine tasting- Fox Creek in particular. We set off around midday and had lunch at a cafe where Reuben had his cheeks pinched by old ladies. Anywho, we arrived at Fox Creek and started sampling. Reuben charmed the woman working there with lots of grins and fake coughs. Mike enthusiastically joined the wine club and so we now are the proud owners of 2 dozen mixed red Fox Creek wines.

After the tasting we decided to have a picnic out the back of the winery. Mike got some cheeses, dips and more wine, so we kicked back and enjoyed. Reuben decided to join in and tried various food. He likes quince paste, but not pumpkin dip (which is odd because it's similar to his food). However, the winner were olives in balsamic vinegar! Reuben sucked on those like Starvin' Marvin. It was a victory for Mike (who loves olives) and a betrayal for me (who hates them).
