When you are pruning the Shiraz you come across this. It is not a chocolate desert, but a group Golden Orb spider cocoons. These spiders eat the bad bugs and they have strong webs that you walk and drive through.

Have been chasing this rainbow all the way back to Mountainside wines. It’s just behind those trees. Need a Viognier after all this drama.

Another old media story from Mountainside wines. Every year the largest Advertising agency in Australia George Patterson bought out the Status of the media. It detailed everything stat for the media market. This one is from 1993. You need a 2014 Mountainside Shiraz to help you read. If any old media person wants a stat contact me.

Prior to Mountainside wines, Shane was in the advertising and media industry. Over the journey he got so much branded clothing. Here is a Masterchef apron from the original program launch. While not a fan of reality TV, this goes well with a Mountainside Viognier.
