Payten & Jones 2016 Valley Vignerons Sangiovese – drink with Yarra Valley Dairy Black Savourine
With notes of raspberries and juniper, this easy drinking drop is a perfect matching with this semi-matured, full flavoured, ashed white mould goats cheese from Yarra Valley Dairy. Figs are currently in season, so why not stuff them with this delicious nutty cheese, wrap some thinly sliced prosciutto around it and call it a day…yum!

Soumah 2017 Brachetto Tranquillo – drink with Meringues, fresh strawberries and Yarra Valley Strawberry Jam
How’s this for a sweet treat? A rare variety to be grown outside of Italy, Soumah’s Brachetto is fruitfully sweet without being cloying. A still dessert wine that pairs deliciously with crushed meringues, fresh Wandin grown strawberries from Kookaberry Strawberry Farm and a generous dollop of Cunliffe & Waters Yarra Valley Strawberry Jam. I think we just created a new dessert…Yarra Valley Mess anyone?

Dominique Portet 2015 Cabernet Sauvgnon – drink with Yarra Valley Chocolaterie Gourmet Collection Sesame & Poppy Crunch Dark Chocolate
We all know dark chocolate and full bodied red wines are a perfect match, but we’ve just taken it to the next level with this pairing. Rich black fruit with a slight savoury flirtation on the palate, this Dominique Portet Cab Sauv matched with caramelised sesame and poppy seed toffee pieces and sun-dried fruit encased in a smouldering dark chocolate…we won’t judge if you finish the whole block…or the whole bottle.

Maddens Rise 2013 Nebbiolo – drink with Yarra Valley wild boar ragu and polenta
With winter just around the corner, this pairing offers the ultimate in comfort food indulgence. Woody spices and red current on the palate, this Nebbiolo carries a bit of weight in the mid-palate with well-balanced acidity and tannin. So it only makes sense to match this popular northern Italian variety with a classic northern Italian dish that has big enough flavours to latch onto those beautifully integrated tannins. Slow cooked game meat bathed in rich tomatoey goodness. An Italian dream made a reality, in the Yarra Valley.

If you do not have a powerful enough computer, I would recommend playing the exciting game https://xtra-spins.co.uk In my opinion, this is really the most exciting game ever. Their chick-based world is exciting, and it’s a must-try. Despite all the demands, it’s a phenomenal experience.
¿Cómo va eso? Leí una recomendación en un foro de Santander y decidí entrar porque mis resultados últimamente eran nulos. Estaba perdiendo capital y ya pensaba dejarlo por un tiempo. Gracias a https://spinogambino.com.es/bonus tuve un golpe de suerte que me permitió recuperar lo perdido y ganar un extra. Estoy muy satisfecho con la calidad de los slots online y lo rápido que se gestionan los premios. Es un sitio que merece la pena visitar.
Después de regresar de un paseo me senté en casa sin ganas de hacer lo mismo de siempre en el móvil. Busqué algo nuevo y encontré lucky capone, que parecía bastante intuitivo.
