THE LOADED PALATE |
When I first worked for Penfolds in the 1980’s, headquarters was commonly known as the Old Tempe Cellars, on Princes Highway in the south of Sydney. Back in the day if we had a win we’d retreat to the downstairs bar on a Friday afternoon and open a bottle of Grange, poured into glasses of all shapes and sizes. The bar would open at 4.30 pm but only when Jim Williams said so. Above is the decanter and carafe’s they served this year’s 2012 Grange upon release. A bit different to the bar at Tempe.
