Barry bonanza

While 'what happens on tour, stays on tour' might be one expression, 'keeping it all in the family' is another. Amazing huh? Anyway, that gibberish aside, it's great to see the Barrys en masse contributing to their WISS cause with a lusty pig slaughter followed by smallgoods production session. The generations are here representing Jim Barry Wines and Clos Clare Wines too. Sure, it's not like they all took a bath together or share a bed, but the family bonding is still there. 

So, here is some background on their WISS entry. See how the pigs frolic with the horse. These are free range pigs too. Not sure if Mr Ed ended up in the meat mix, but it could be a possibility... 

Neigh! I don't taste that good! - Mr Ed

Just hanging with the hogs. Babe and his mates really liked the Barry's too... 

This little piggy went to market, this little piggy became roast beef

They're bloody serious about their meats too. See how the family enjoys the bits of their formerly living, porcine friends...

We did get a missive from the Barry's too - here is some context for their entry: 

Last year when we did the Winter pig we enlisted the services and expertise of an Italian couple from Adelaide. This year we the help and added advice of Jo Barrington–Case (nee Knappstein) who has a heritage of sausage making along with some fabulous recipes and is arguably the best cook in Clare.

We are very happy to have had this info come our way, it adds context to the meats and their efforts. See how they perspire over their sausage...

Sam knows his way around a sausage or two.

And of course, the family that plays together, stays together...
