First Wedding Anniversary

It's our first wedding anniversary today in America. We decided to celebrate in style, since we were kind of celebrating two great things. One being the obvious, our first wedding anniversary and secondly we've known each other for 10 years. Sean took me to a little French restaurant just down the street from us called Chez TJ (menu). The food was exceptional. The Pork reminded Sean of crackling at Christmas at Grandmas. Louise found the amuse buche divine, it was a slice of raw fish with lime, corriander and a yellow paste.


Back in 1996 Sean decided, unbeknown to me, to purchase a 1996 bottle of Grant Burge Shadrach. Since being with Sean all those years, not once was he tempted to open that bottle, which was still wrapped in it's special paper.

Chez TJ
Well, we've moved numerous times, lived in 2 states (SA and ACT). We've bought 2 houses, sold 1, and had 2 pets. Tango our boxer dog, who is now living on the Murray River with another like minded boxer, and our lovely black cat Ebony who is now an international traveler at the ripe old age of 7.

Things that we both love doing are: driving in the Adelaide Hills, and renovating houses. Who knows we're we'll be in 10 years time. But I do know that we have set aside another bottle (2003 Mont St John Pinot Noir) for when that time comes around and we can't wait!!
