Merry Street Restaurant at Kioloa, Moodys privileged to be on the menu

 

What a combination!

Fine food at some of the best beaches in NSW! Merry Street is behind Merry Beach, which itself is between Pretty Beach and Bawley Point on NSW south coast between Ulladulla and Batemans Bay, where the bush comes down to the beach and the kangaroos wander undisturbed.

The menu at Merry Street is always changing, and there are some fine creations of meat and seafood to choose from. Clayton Till will look after you and help you choose your wine. He may even recommend Moody’s Shiraz….

 

Moodys Wines at Willow Vale Mill, Laggan, Southern Highlands

My old friend, Graham Liney, runs this wonderful guest house in the NSW Southern Highlands at Laggan. Willow Vale Mill is the original grain mill building of Laggan, which Graham has converted to a comfortable guest house for relaxing weekends away.

Every Saturday Graham serves a large and copious roast dinner with several meats and home cooked local vegetables, and his speciality varieties of potatoes. His sweets are also to die for. But it is all enhanced by the relaxed atmosphere, Graham’s warm welcome, and the roaring fire in the fireplace.

Willow Vale serves Moody’s Wines, as well as other good NSW wines. Those olive trees also produce excellent olives, and Graham’s vegetable beds provide artichokes, spinach, broccoli and a variety of herbs.

Before dinner, the kitchen is worth a visit, to watch the maestro at work, and share a slurp with him!

I sent two bottles of my Rosé to my family in Provence. They have lined them up with the other drinks they were going to enjoy at midday!
