There is only one word to describe this issue, and that’s sparkling! From Christmas Lights to things that go ‘pop’ and shimmering spirits – if you love a bit of glitz then this is your issue! Twelve months of planning and preparation. Over 20 carefully designed displays. Three million (yes, million) lights. Those are the kinds of numbers that go into the largest Christmas lights display in the Southern Hemisphere: the annual Christmas Lights Spectacular at Pokolbin’s Hunter Valley Gardens. The Hunter’s favourite celebration of Christmas magic is back this year, bigger, bolder and brighter than ever. Read more on page 12.
Sparkling wine and celebrations go together like turkey and stuffing or Christmas pudding and brandy, this month we look at the ins and outs of sparkling wines with the annual “Sparkling Dozen” – just in time for the silly season! From our families to yours, we wish you a very happy holiday season and a safe and prosperous 2021.
