Kelly Golding discovers a Lazy Ballerina in the Southern Vales. It's actually the name of a new cellar door set in picturesque Kuitpo, just a 10 minute drive from McLaren Vale. Winemaker James Hook is the man behind the dancer. He offers 5 big red wines in limited quantities and his label has received attention from some major wine experts; gold medals and high accolades are helping to build a big reputation for James and the Lazy Ballerina. Delicious platters and pizza are available at the cellar door - perfect to enjoy on the deck overlooking the pretty gardens which also participate in the Open Garden Scheme.
