		<description><![CDATA[Introducing new truffle hound Rosie, who joined us at Limestone Hills last Saturday and found* her first truffle on Sunday morning. Not bad for an eight week old pup&#8230; Here she is with the truffle&#8230; &#8230;which eventually weighed in at 188 grams, the largest I&#8217;ve yet found at the Hills (though a tiddler in record [...]]]></description>

Asia Downunder have just uploaded their recent programme on Professor Wang Yun and truffles, and as you&#8217;ll see, Peg has something of a starring role. She was more coherent than me, anyway.

The bottling was done by hand, which means with a syphon into the barrel of wine (racked off its lees), [...]]]></description>

Time to muster friends and family and offer them a good feed&#8230; This year the wine is being made by our neighbours at Waipara West, and I&#8217;ll be helping out by doing some of [...]]]></description>

The first is a paper [PDF] on Chinese truffles commissioned by Gastronomica (the prestigious US food and culture journal) in 2008, which draws heavily on my experiences in China in 2007. It discusses the impact [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stunning, that&#8217;s what Nicholas said. The winemaker, that is, about our first syrah. Quite made my day, I can tell you. I tasted a barrel sample today, and I have to say I thought it was pretty good &#8212; though naturally I&#8217;m biased. The pinot&#8217;s not bad either: a lot more colour and complexity than [...]]]></description>

Plenty of effort at the other place, but naught here since the pinot harvest (which went well, thanks to help from friends). We have a barrel of pinot and a half barrel of syrah to bottle in a couple of months [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pinot harvested today, thanks to the good offices of friends, family, an Italian student winemaker and an itinerant American drummer. Two big barrels full, so we should do better than last year, but I&#8217;ll know the numbers in a day or so when the grapes have been crushed. Meanwhile, the syrah sits in the vines, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I ride the farm bike (four wheels, a buggered exhaust so it roars rather than purrs) round the vineyard several times a day at the moment, in the hope that this will deter voracious avian thieves from feasting on my crop. Last year, they reduced a tonne to 300kg, but this year (fingers duly crossed) [...]]]></description>

So here&#8217;s a quick update, stimulated by yesterday&#8217;s gadget acquisition. I was fiddling around in Google Maps, and there &#8212; lo and behold &#8212; it appears that Google&#8217;s Street View is already available for Ram Paddock [...]]]></description>
