Wine. Wine. Wine. That’s all I heard about when I was planning my visit to Adelaide. Outside of the city is the (self-proclaimed) country’s most-famous wine region. So, Monday I went on a wine tour of the Barossa Valley.
Winery visits in German-settled towns in October? I felt like I was back at MIZZOU again (except this time, I didn’t arrive on a rented school bus or with the half the baseball team and Golden Girls’ squad [yeah!]…). Oh, yeah…and I didn’t end the night at Quinton’s either. But I did end it at something just as likely to be found in mid-Missouri.
Me and about eight others from the hostel went to the free weekly “Hillbilly Hoot” radio show. Broadcast from a garage on the community radio station, 93.7 FM, the show features locals singing country and country-influenced songs. I was hoping I might get to “Walk the Line” with a little Johnny Cash, but alas, there was none. However, it was still quite hillbilly and still a great time. Even the non-country-music lovers enjoyed themselves…
Sorry the quality ain’t so hot…it was really dark (it was outside!). But I thought you might have been wondering what the music sounded like…
