church in a vineyard

as i've mentioned previously, the local area is known for it's excellent wines. add to that the photogenic qualities of the vineyards.

wine + lunch

a half-day public holiday provides a fine opportunity for a jaunt into the country for a cheese platter, and a lovely glass of pinot noir.

we really do have some fabulous wines out this way. the local area is known for it..

That's a whole lot of wine right there. Taken at Pierre's, which is a local institution - Launceston's oldest cafe (55 years, still going strong), damn fine coffee in a nice atmosphere with excellent service. Often I find myself going to the chain stores when I'm not too fussy about my coffee, but I much prefer the coffee in the "real" (for want of a better word) cafes. More often than not, I make a bee-line for Pierre's.

Oh, and wine is also good. More on the Tamar Valley wine region later...
