WINE REVIEW: Elderton Neil Ashmead Grand Tourer Shiraz 2015
Slow Saturday afternoon watching The Sopranos with an Elderton Neil Ashmead Grand Tourer Shiraz 2015.
My review: Highly recommended. I would describe it as spicy with savory finish. Leather on the nose. Lots of character. Not the typical fruity shiraz. Peppery with herbal, eucalyptus finish. Very rich! Lots of berries, liquorice and oak on the palate.
True to the description at the back of the bottle: "the wine is exuberant lively and full of character."
Winery: Elderton
Region: Barossa Valley
Country: Australia
Grape variety: Australian Shiraz
Vintage: 2015

BAROSSA VALLEY, AUSTRALIA: Cheap places to eat near the Barossa Visitor Centre
We tried two restaurants near the Barossa Visitor Center serving delicious food and are reasonably priced. I recommend both restaurants for those doing the hop-on-hop-off Trailhopper wine tours from Adelaide since the Barossa Visitor Centre is one of the places included in those tours.
1. TANUNDA TAKEAWAY
(FORMERLY TANUNDA CHICKENS)
We dined here right after the trailhopper wine tour. Although slightly drunk, we were able to reach this place easily because it's right across the road where the Barossa Visitor Center is located.

2. AMANTI PIZZA
This pizza place serves a lot of different varieties of pizza, from the traditional to the gourmet so you have a lot of choices but prices are very reasonable. The pizza and pasta that we bought shown in the photos below are really good. This place is highly recommended.
