Velo wines run by a guy who was a former cycling Olympian and Tour de France competitor.
Nath wasn’t up for checking out the Targa so he headed out for a drive on his own. Turns out some vineyards in the Tamar region were very close to our hotel so we thought we’d check a few of them out before heading out to catch the Targa.
10am wine testing smashed me hard haha. Bought a few wines here to take home.
Moores Hill vineyard was next, recommended by the guy at Velo.
Upon entry we were greeted by an old weimaraner male. Suga went straight for the belly rub…
…which absolutely wasted him and put him into some sort of trance.
Haha!
Funny guy.
Spotted this painting inside, it turns out it’s the painting used on their wine labels.
The late harvest riesling was the pick of the bunch, like sweet nectar, we bought a box!
MX-5 hanging the tail out on the Longford street course.
Cam captured every car on film.
We got the best possible spot facing 2 consecutive corners to watch the Longford street course which saw cars rip it up over a very tight 2km run through town streets. Right at the front but we failed to bring folding seats, or shade (massive sunnie marks on our faces after this day!). It was pretty obvious some guys were out there just to have fun. Beeping horns and waving hands for the spectators and letting the tail hang right out for lots of oohs and aahhhs. As expected, the fast guys were so composed they made the 2 corners look easy, slow and baby butt smooth.
Chris.
Spotted this Daytona at Chris and Cam’s hotel carpark.
Suga parked up next to one of my many dream cars.
Later that night we hit the Pizza Pub.
Much belly laughter was had once more haha.
Christina was pronouncing “Launceston” in a funny Asian accent which cracked us up for the whole trip (lots of “an dennnn”‘s over the CB’s too haha).
