    Since we've moved back to wine and since I'm in Central Otago, what are your favourite cellar doors to visit? The view from Rippon is magic on a sunny day, what others put on a better experience?

    Tom Tusher's Amisfield. Great food and a really good Pinot Noir. Down by Lake Hayes, more of a restaurant than cellar door but worth a visit.

    You're not wrong! But I can holiday down in Central Otago at a drop of a hat. Why don't you pop over for a wine...... oh hang on.... locals only! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Love Amisfield. When we were in self iso in QT they took a phone order off me, then came out to the car and chucked the box in the boot when I arrived. Quality.

    @mariner4life could always make up for it with an 8 day extravaganza next year with Birdsville rolled into Cairns the weekend after...

    Tom is a great guy too, we had some contact with him when he was selling some land down Glenorchy way. I have been shown around Blanket bay but not stayed there yet. Definitely on my list.

    I also have lived in Levi jeans for over 40 years. Well done Tom.

    People complain about foreign land ownership but these are the immigrants that we can do with. Actually the whole story is pretty good, land given back to government (park) in return for a smaller subdivision.

    2 x Tomohawk.

    Salt, pepper.

    Sear each side, 3-4 mins each on the Weber.

    Take off direct heat and close lid. 12 minutes. Take out, rest for 10 minutes. Media rare in middle, med well in the edge.

    Truly, 10/10 beef. Youโ€™d pay well over 200 for these 2 in a London resto. 25 quid for 2 and they couldnโ€™t have cooked it any better.

    Looks fucken yum....where did you get them for that price?

    Thinking you could have tossed the used connie before taking the cooked pics though eh.

    What made you leap to the conclusion that it was used? You clearly have a better eye than me...

    Naaaah I don't know his... @JC anything to add here?

    From what I hear itโ€™s not just the eye thatโ€™s better...

    @Tim peppers onion garlic peeled chopped tomatoes salt pepper sugar sweated down in olive oil. I use smoked paprika to replace the traditional piment d'espelette. I do it all the time but its a taste preference thing. Just keep tasting until it has the flavour and consistency you want. Sometimes I chuck in a couple of chillis but strictly speaking you're not supposed to.

    @Tim traditional piperade no, but I usually make it to use up tomatoes that are over ripe or peppers that need using up etc and will chuck in whatever takes my fancy. I'd just try it a bit at a time. If you like it then stuff the food Nazi's. If I was using a vinegar I'd cut back on the sugar.

    Somewhere far back in this thread someone made a yummy curried potato soup... Have we had any more soup recipes there's too many pages, I'm feeling like it's soup season now. I've got such a craving for soupy goodness.
