The following day, we took our little ladybug out (our first day-trip in our first car). We drove to the nearby Yarra Valley for a day of wine-tasting...as if Chris hadn't had enough to drink during his travels in Australia! Below is a picture I could have taken often enough--it seemed that Chris had to have a snack at every winery that we visited (fortunately we brought lots of nice food)...

At TarraWarra vineyards, Chris observes the barrels of fermenting wine (probably American oak), with a serious eye...

And he's even more serious when it comes to the tasting! Here, Mike and Chris read up on some of the wines they are about to sample.
