An accidental shot
The label was more impressive than the wine
This was a shot of a map of Champagne on the wall. Very impressive
A few of the wines. The Gaja on the left was the stand-out for me.
Perfect colour reproduction
Boatshed at Balmoral, sunrise
Jetty at Balmoral, late afternoon
From Georges' Heights (Middle Head) across Clifton Gardens to the city. Difficult shot.
