Hot off the press, we are delighted to announce our having won five Bronze medals at this years Sydney Royal Fine Food Show.

A big thank you to the most discerning judges, our girl 'oliveers' that lovingly create and pack our products and to Janie the company muse.

The Idea of North |
The Idea of North - a cappella voice in the vineyard
We did it, and what an exceptionally professional, fun and entertaining performance. The weather was outstanding, the wine chilled, picnic hampers in abundance, Chipironi coffee to die for (well perhaps not) and Janie's Bush Curry sold out - how good is that? Thank you to all of you that made the effort to join us and of course to our performers, an amazing performance, well done.

Saruzu Quartet
Paris Dreaming |
Saruzu Quartet –
Argentinean Flamenco and Jazz accompanied by Paris Dreaming
"A fiery flamenco-tango-jazz ensemble, The Saruzu Quartet's interpretation of the rich harmonies of Argentine tango, the wild improvisations of gypsy jazz and the fire and grace of flamenco, is exhilarating. Evocative of a 1920's Paris cafe scene filtered through an edgy and contemporary sensibility, The Saruzu Quartet is a celebration of the musical passions of its members - renowned violinist Luke Moller, sensual flamenco dancer & fiery percussionist Simone Pope, ferociously cool jazz bass player Andrew Shaw and laid back guitar virtuoso Andrew Veivers. This group filled the stage and held the audience in a trance - outstanding performers, thank you.
Paris Dreaming are Ewan Mackenzie and Kay Sullivan - they play acoustic guitar and accordion in French Gypsy Swing style, evoking the atmosphere of the Paris café scene of the 20th Century. Their music ranges from Musette waltzes to Gypsy tunes, from American swing standards to their own self-penned compositions. An evening with Ewan and Kay is a journey through some of the most romantic and delightful music ever written, played by virtuoso musicians with passionate intensity and dash of humour.
