autumn rusted...

...and rain freshened, Swan Valley vines are gradually losing their leaves.

Waking to an unexpected blue day but darkened by the tragedy of Manchester I decided to take 'the van' to the valley.
To drive.
Explore.
And make the most of whatever time we have.

The Kosovich Winery was established in 1922 and today Anthony Kosovich (extra) was a gracious host.
'Swan Valley Royalty'...said James Young (extra) when he circled the Kosovich winery on the map as a must visit.
Compared to 1922 Old Young's Distillery is a mere babe opening in 2016!

From Old Young's manifesto ...Life is far too short squeeze every drop out of it.
