drink, drank, drunk....

Am going to jump straight into day 3 of our trip where we headed to Yarra Valley to get drunk. We arrived at Yarra Valley about 2-ish and headed out for a light lunch at Domain Chandon (the only winery that is operated by the good people at Moet & Chandon). I had the beef pie that was served with a rocket salad drizzled with superbly yummy wine dressing and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. B chose the sparkling Shiraz to go with the pie. Never tasted sparkling red wine and it sure was bubbly sweet! :) The weather was a downer, so we stayed on and ordered the Cheese Board Platter that was paired with 4 different Champagnes. After drinking those 4 glasses, I was giddy high...hic hic....

Dinner was at the charming and quaint Chateau Yering. It felt like we booked the entire restaurant! Cos there was no other patrons there that night except for us. Remember that we went there during deep winter!

We each had the 2 course meal. Hmm, I can't remember the starters...forgot! But for the main, I had the pigeon served medium rare. At first, I thought 'Hmm, medium rare pigeon...scary!' But the pigeon served medium rare was surprisingly tender. The meat was soft and pinkish.. and tenderly soft! Perfect...paired with a great red wine!

B and I shared the apple souffle for dessert and ended up goofing around thereafter.. playing with our cutlery as you can see! haha...
