A classic late 19th century grand exhibition building with a red Pinot Palooza sign across the entrance.

Some banging pinot noir so far, but some suffering a bit as being served at "room temperature" when the ambient temperature is >30°C is sub optimal. Greystone (NZ), Lightfoot and Holly's Garden (Gippsland) the standouts so far. #PinotPalooza

Screen capture of a weather app, showing current conditions in Melbourne to be sunny and 36.2°C.

Uncomfortably warm outside for the walk to the station, but at least the train carriage is air conditioned. I hope the cooling is running at the Exhibition Building for #PinotPalooza.
