A few months ago we posted about the legal battle

A few months ago we posted about the legal battle between “Down N Out” and US burger giant “In-N-Out” burger.

After having a fantastic “Double Double” burger today at the newly renamed Nameless Bar in Sydney, I wanted to share my thoughts on the major differences between the burgers at the two venues.

Although the two burgers taste very similar, the nameless bar burger is like a “inappropriate” little sister version of a much more mature, proodier older sister”.

Little sis is more fun, a bit rough around the edges and enjoys a smoke, drink and a few curse words with the boys.

They may come from the same family but the “black sheep” of the family is way more fun to spend time with and you feel a “bit disappointed in yourself” when you wake up the next morning after spending the night with her.

Live’s short, so let’s push the boundaries and have some fun. See you at Nameless Bar for burger experience you will never forget.

Following a well deserved sleep in we enjoyed Sun

Following a well deserved sleep in we enjoyed Sunday Brunch al fresco style on the spacious deck overlooking the picturesque dam at the Deck Cafe in Lovedale.

The Deck Cafe Lovedale is a Stylish Cafe/Tapas Bar, located at Gartelmann Wines. The Deck Cafe Lovedale provides a diverse and delightful style breakfast menu daily, followed by an inspiring Tapas Style menu for Lunch and Dinner Friday Saturday Nights, complimented by Gartelmann wines.

Karen and I both ordered the Deck’s Big Breakfast that included huge portions of grilled sour dough, poached eggs, American streaky bacon, chipolatas, herb roasted field mushrooms, hash brown, roasted vine ripened tomato and smokey bbq sauce.

It was delicious and filling and we both appreciated the quality Piazza D’oro coffee served with our meals. 🥓🍇😋

In the 1970s, a group of friends purchased 30 acre

In the 1970s, a group of friends purchased 30 acres of land in the Lower Hunter Valley wine growing area in what was then known as Allandale, now Lovedale.

By 1978 the winery/cellar door was built on the hill which overlooks 17 acres of plantings of Semillon, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and captures the stunning views over the Lower Hunter and Brokenback Mountain Range.

Those views came in very handy during our wine tasting as we watched the thunderstorms roll across the Hunter Valley as we enjoyed some of Australia’s best Chardonnay & Semillon. 🍇😋

At Macquariedale Organic Wines they follow a passion for natural winemaking, specialising in converting small parcels of grapes into organic, biodynamic, low preservative, vegan-friendly, natural wines.

In 2005 Macquariedale Organic Wines became the first vineyard in the Hunter Valley to receive full Biodynamic Certification, which means all products used in the vineyard are all natural and do not contain synthetic chemicals, herbicides, pesticides or systemic chemicals.

We really enjoyed talking to their winemakers during our visit to Macquariedale as they shared their passion for organic wines and the long-term health benefits. We left the vineyard with ample bottles of their wine including their delicious Liquid Christmas Cake Dessert Wine.

If you have read many of our other wine tour posts

If you have read many of our other wine tour posts, you would be very aware that our most favourite food during a big day of wine tasting is a well-made pizza.

This was discussed with Pippa while we were putting together our Hunter Valley Boutique Wine Tour and she promised that she knew the perfect place to take us.

Although the entire menu looked magnificent, we ‘stuck to our guns’ and ordered one of Baume’s legendary extra-large Chicken, Bacon, Mushroom and Parsley 40cm pizza.

Their pizza dough is made in house and left to prove for three days giving a lighter feel, it is then hand rolled and baked in their imported traditional Moretti pizza oven to give an authentic flavour. 🍕🍇😋

Lunch today is located at the OLD Lindemans winery which is now called BEN EAN. Recently acquired by the McGuigan and Peterson families, they are committed to returning the property to its historical roots and maintaining and developing the estate as a salute to some of the best-known viticulturists and winemakers of the last 170 years in the Hunter.

The team have done an outstanding job to bring the Winery & Vineyard back to its former glory after extensive refurbishment to the Cellar Door, Restaurant, Function, Still House & Winery areas.

Tinklers is a family owned and operated vineyard, winery and cellar door that produce award winning single vineyard wine in small batches.

Their rustic property features a beautiful hardwood cellar door that’s nestled beneath century old peppercorn trees that resonate the long family history in Pokolbin and the regional tradition of Hunter Valley wine making.

We enjoyed our wine tasting especially their fine Verdelho and Hunter Shiraz. Tinklers also offer a variety of fresh farm produce through the year which also allowed us to stock up on fresh figs and watermelon. 🍉🍇🍷

Degen Wines the smallest commercial vineyard in the Lower Hunter Wine Region, and specialises in premium quality Shiraz, Chardonnay and Semillon and proudly produce single vineyard wines.

Everything they do is on a small scale. As Thomas and Jean proudly state to their visitors, “we want to be great at being small”.

We really enjoyed our time at Degen and being on the receiving end of Thomas and Jean’s warm hospitality. 🍇🍷
