Sarti and Il Bacaro Staff visit Chapman Hill
On Sunday 20th May, the staff of Sarti and Il Bacaro boarded the Chapman Hill bus, for a visit to the grove. We lunched in the woolshed on home made Salami, Prosciutto, Marinated Olives and Tapenade followed by our Lamb roasted slowly, and then Little Chocolate Espresso pots and Apple Cakes. Sarah Gough's Boxgrove Vineyard Roussanne and Shiraz/Roussanne and Curly Flat Williams Crossing Pinot Noir were the delicious local wines chosen. Even more local was the Tooborac Hotel Pale Ale and Amber Ale - we are lucky folk to have such great wine and beer to share with our friends. Please note the photos of our day.
