FF Exchange to Melbourne, Australia
In March 2014 our club went on a three club exchange which included Melbourne.  
We were hosted by Nola Fletcher.  The exchanges included wine tasting at area
wineries.  In the Melbourne area we had wine tastings at 5 wineries.  They are
Montalto, Red Hill Estate, De Bortoli, Yering Station and The Hill Wineries.
