He had a great cellar, the former owner had dug under the garage, all lined and looked like a hurricane cellar. water sump pump and all, it was all lime washed walls and looked the bees knees of cellars.

It looks like we've run out of time to do McClaren Vale and Barossa, we've traveled along the coast prety much all the way (Victor Harbor now). We did side track up to Naracoorte/Penola and the tasting tour was at Coonawarra. Very yummy reds and a few good whites.
We get into the Barossa frequently so it's not that big an issue to miss it this time, and we have touched the edges of McClaren Vale before also. Never been tasting in the Coonawarra before - we'll definitely be back. Reds sat really well and we've shipped a couple of cartons back home while we were at it
BTW, I'm happy to look after your wine collection. Just ship it across
