We placed in the following:

SILVER MEDAL CERTIFICATES

BRONZE MEDAL CERTIFICATES

Bush Bakery, Leslie Vale, TAS (Steak & Onion)

This place was amazing - there were 3 huge rooms full of stalls.
And at each stall there was always something to eat or a show bag to take home.
You could quite literally stay at a stall and eat as much as you wanted.
It was bulllllshit good!

HHHMMMM!! Soo many pastries!

is to know about the wine your tasting and the brewery.

Getting served

The one at the front right was the nicest.

The pompest prick on the right said
"I have to ask; is it really that far from a burgundy??"

All I wanted to do was to drink the wine and leave, but after 10mins I was sooo bored of listening to crap I didnt really care for. haha
So I drew pics depicting what I thought of each wine in turn.

Crazy amounts of top line ice-cream, and you could have as much as you liked!
