Ideal Time to Book a Wine Tasting Tour

Caversham’s climate makes it a year-round destination, but the best times for wine tasting tours in Caversham are during spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May). The weather is mild, the vineyards are vibrant, and the cellar doors are bustling with new releases.

Weekdays are generally quieter, providing a more intimate experience with winemakers and staff. If you're visiting during a weekend or public holiday, it’s best to book your tour in advance to secure your spot.

Tips for First-Time Visitors

If this is your first time heading out on a wine tasting adventure, here are a few tips to make the most of it:

Start with lighter wines and move to heavier reds and fortifieds.

Pace yourself – it's a tasting, not a full glass each time!

Stay hydrated, and eat well during the day.

Take notes of your favourite wines so you can purchase or recommend them later.

Be open-minded – try varietals or producers you've never heard of.

Cruise the Swan River: Combine a wine tour with a scenic boat ride for a truly relaxing day out.

The King's Joy

(Richard Joy centric drabble)

Tw: implied transphobia, slight described gore.

"UNACCEPTABLE! COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!"

There he goes again, babbling like a complete idiot.

"We need to- what the hell are you doing?!"

"Watching how well you've handled things on your end since my father's departure from this world, dear uncle. Have to say, not impressed"

"We are in a crisis! And you dare fool around while our master demands us of-!"

Oh. Don't cross it.

"Don't. Use. Our lord's name in vain, uncle. Your position as High Priest is unofficial. You're only here because your better half had suddenly passed away and you saw fit to take his title, unworthy as you are"

"UNWORTHY? Boy, if you don't shut your mouth, I'll -"

"Or you'll what? As far as I'm concerned our King has no interest in a talentless pathetic second son who leeched off of the wealth and gifts bestowed upon HIS chosen. And may I delightfully remind, that YOU lost his HEART to a couple of nobodies, nonetheless. At the very least my father dealt with more formidable nuisances, you lost to two ordinary people".

"Listen here you INSOLENT-..."

Here we go...

"... CHILD. I have been working alongside your father for YEARS! I am more than capable of leading us towards our goal! Our FUTURE!-"

I should gut you here and now.

"-I don't need the lectures of a confused lunatic!- *GASP*"

"Do you really want to cross that line, uncle? I have no qualms in ending you right now. Just one swipe and the knife on your neck would cut and paint these floors in stark crimson. And you won't be missed whatsoever. The only reason you're alive right now is that The King wishes it, not because he wants to, but because he is merciful. But, that mercy is starting to fade with your apparent incompetency. Did you think that I came all the way here because I want to follow you? Please. I'm here on the behest of our Lord to ensure that the rest of you don't fall short.

Tick tock, uncle. The King's patience for you and like-minded followers is thinning. Now, get out. The King calls for me, and I doubt he'll be happy to see you."

*stuttering* "You- I- Fuck-!"

Spineless fuck. All of them.

My Joy

Oh, that voice. That sweet sweet voice.

"My liege, Lord of Carcosa. Him who must not be named. Lord of Interstellar Spaces. The King in Yellow".

I'm pleased that you've arrived. I trust that your loyalty and service to me is unbound.

"Yes, my lord. Anything you ask of me, I will ensure it be done"

So, why is it that it took you so long to come and join the rest of them here? Have your faith wavered?

"No, my lord. I've taken initiative to learn about our foes before-"

Perhaps you thought that my satisfaction with you allows you to be bold and arrogant. Should I remind you of your place?

"Forgive me, my lord. Please, if I am unfit to be yours then I welcome your wrath and justice. I will die with content."

Hehehe. Delightful, my joy. Your devotion is needed. Amongst these fools who are driven by greed and desperation for my grace, you are a beacon. In time, you will not only be my eyes and ears in this plane of reality, but you'll be my golden tongue as well.

"Thank you, my King. Thank you for mercy"

Now, please. Continue. What have you discovered?

"Our foes. Their names are Peter Yang and Arthur Lester. Both are private investigators who reside in Arkham. Nothing of note from them aside that they specialised in missing person's cases. Why they stumbled upon your heart, My King, was complete coincidence. They were looking for Roland Cummings, but instead they discovered my father and the book."

What else have found about them?

"That they are very acquainted with one another, so much so that Arthur Lester allowed Yang to raise his daughter together. They're practically family".

Perfect, Richard. Perfect. And I trust that you know where they are?

"Their pattern, where they frequent, everything. Should you give the word, I'll strike them down and claim what you've desired."

Please.

I want it to hurt.

Yes

I want them to suffer both body and mind.

YES

I want you to kill and carve Arthur Lester into a wonder of blood and carnage. And as his daughter sees her father's fate, her screams of dismay and sorrow would haunt Peter Yang with drowning guilt and nightmares. And finally, finally, you'll do unto him with the same courteousy as you did his partner. Make it a tragedy, Richard.

"Oh... My lord. I thought you'd never ask."

So vampire Stan... Would eating Bill give him any more food than eating a normal vampire?

In a move that enrages Bill for reasons unknown (hes a dramatic perma sixteen(ish) year old who needs to be extra special always), Bill does not do anything extra or taste better than other vampires. He tastes like all the rest, and fills Stan up the same. There's no bonusus from drinking more diverse vampire blood for Stan here, which is kind of his downside as other vampires who go the cannibal route usually do get some kind of boost with drinking from higher class vamps. Stan's drawback is all vamp blood tastes good! And the same! Its kind of boring after a while? Sure it feels refreshing but theres no variety :/

If and when Bill realizes this you know he'll throw a tantrum and try to figure out how to make himself tastier just on principle. He can't be average! Not even to Stan! Stan himself does not care about Bill's hang up on flavor.
