Any Chance of a Drink Round Here?
A wine-maker near Cessnock (NSW) has dropped us a line at the website. He reports the Hunter Valley, an area noted for its alluvial soil and velvet cabernets, is not to be found beyond the back of Bourke, as falsely suggested on page 406 of the Regional Guide.
Bad news for Bacchus, I suppose. He’s the Roman wine-god “plastered” on the walls of the Family Hotel in Tibooburra, almost a 1000 kilometres west from the famous grape belt. The cartographer [hic] apologises for the slip.
