Martin and Catherine got us a voucher (100 dollars!!!!) for The Mission Winery for Christmas so we thought that today would be the perfect day for a nice lunch (well, it has been overcast and raining for the last few days). We've been visiting a few wineries over the last few days (it's free booze basically - all you have to do is pretend you're interested in how it's made and stick your nose in it before you drink) and The Mission winery also has a very nice restaurant overlooking the vineyards - lunch came to 106 dollars so 6 dollars for a nice lunch (it'll be the last time we go out for lunch in a while I reckon), was exceedingly good value :)
The winery used to be a really bonefide Mission in the late 1800's - I think - something like that. Anyway, we both had Ostrich - like little medallions of steak really - very tasty. Between the bottle of wine we had and the dessert wine (I had ice wine and Su had their Gold medal Semillon) we were nice and toasted. We still had room to share a dessert between us. Yum!
Chocccccclatttte!!!

Hi Dudes! Pete and Su here! Thanks for the comment - keep them coming! Su says she wants to see photos of the kids so send them on! Will be extra careful regarding the Happy Special Time viruses - I've heard the bird flu came from around there. Su has just left to look for some crumpet (no - actual crumpets - she's on a mission). Anyway, say hi to the kids and Suz from us!
