revisiting april in winter (I)

Last April we had one more memorable trip to Victoria. We were able to manage a quick escape to the Yarra Valley as well as another one to the Mornington Peninsula. In this second one we ended up at Main Ridge Estate's cellar door, in Red Hill.

There we met Nat, a civil engineer who happens to know what a great pinot noir is about. In particular we love his 2009 Half Acre, which we fully enjoyed yesterday, after letting it rest for almost four months.

I cooked salmon in the oven following Lyn's famous recipe with dill, asparagus and a stellar tzatziki we made for the first time with sheep yogurt.

Passion fruit and mango for dessert sounded like the right combination to finish our day. The only problem was we didn't have passion fruit or mango at home, so we replaced it with an "alter ego" created by the Kakawa chocolate masters.
