International Chardonnay Day
According to winemaker @rockitlikearedheadjenpfeiffer, her Rebel Chardonnay is the perfect partner to roast pork with all the trimmings. 🤤 And seeing as it's #InternationalChardonnayDay we think this would be perfect for dinner tonight. Her little buddy Maya reckons the roast pork deserves a double thumbs up. 👍🏽 If only she could taste the wine too!

Sorry birds, your buffet has shut up shop! 🐥 Bird Netting is a common form of bird pest control for winemakers. Winemaker Jen Pfeiffer is netting her Rutherglen vineyard to prevent bird damage of their grapes. #Harvest #DrinkNaked #NakedWines #AussieWines #AussieWinemakers #VictorianWines
