The wine is so smooth and easy with notes of toasted oak, vanilla and spice, to compliment the full-bodied shiraz as well as notes of blackberry and ripe orchard fruits.

Tony Bennett - An icon, a legend and a gentleman 🖤

I have loved Tony Bennett’s music since I was a kid and first heard his rendition of ‘The Way You Look Tonight’. 

At his concert many years later, after a 3 hour set, the audience could not stop cheering, he came back on stage and said ‘call your babysitters and tell them you’ll be late tonight, we’re not done here’ and sang for another hour … it was and will always be the greatest concert I have ever been to.

Thank you Tony for the music, the magic, the romance RIP 🖤

The current Pierre Bonnard exhibit is absolutely STUNNING and curated in the most amazing way by the incredible India Mahdavi.

For the full experience I highly recommend booking dinner at the @kittensmithers pop up restaurant as part of a collaboration with the NGV. The delicious menu is inspired by Smithers’ award-winning restaurant du Fermier.

Couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate Bastille Day and enjoy the ultimate French experience 🇫🇷🖼️🥂
