Tulloch's In The Hunter

Since we were spending New Year's Eve in the vineyards we had secured accommodation nearby. As luck would have it we noted a newish building on the road to our cottage. The two storey tasting rooms of Keith Tulloch was an impressive sight as we made our way through the myriad of roads that drew the tourists to Pokolbin. The verandah area was dotted with several groups of such tourists sampling the nectar of the vines. As we frequented the Cellar Restaurant we had partaken of Tulloch's wines on many occasions so when the opportunity presented to actually pause and try other wines by the same winemaker it was a must make stop. Parking a plenty so that was easy. The garden and lawn courtyard by cellar door elegantly introduced us to the upstairs tasting rooms. Keith Tulloch took time from his busy day to share his knowledge, his wine making expertise and even a little Tulloch family history. I urge the tourist and locals that as they leave the cellar door that the Muse restaurant offers the highest quality cuisine and service not to be missed. The pate, the terrine, the shared venison and desserts offered us the finest lunch experience. My preference and recommendation is for The Kester, a Shiraz. I hope that others find it to their liking too!
