Last night Thanh and I flew to Adelaide for a short one day trip. Adelaide is in South Australia, and it's main attribute of interest is proximity to the Barossa Valley. The Barossa Valley is like the Napa Valley of Australia in that it produces the best wines of the country. Mainly Shiraz and Grenache varietals with a little of Thanh's precious Gerwurtztraminer. So, today we'll be off to do some wine tastings and hopefully see beautiful coast of the Great Australian Bight.
One other odd fact about Adelaide is that they have a half hour time change from Sydney. This is possibly one of the dumbest ideas I've encountered in our travels here. Basically, it's as though Pittsburgh had decided they need to offset their clocks by a half hour from New York time. In protest, I'll be pretending the time is still the same as Sydney while we're here.
Back with good wine stories later.
