KNOW YOUR CABS FROM YOUR CHIANTIS

You’ll even get a glimpse into the decision-making process from winemakers themselves and a run through on how to make your very own as well.
CHEESE TOASTIES, BUT FANCY
Elevate your cheese toastie game with non-other than curd-expert Valerie Henbest, founder of The Smelly Cheese Shop in the Adelaide Central Market. As the old idiom goes, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Valerie gathers goodies from other Market stalls to construct a good ol’ fashioned ham and cheese number. Key toastie takeaway: more is more!
