"tasmania" news and stories

I always feel weird about "taste testing" bottled waters because to me, all water tastes like...water. Sure there are subtle variations that are borne out of where the water originates, if it was bottled at the source, and even the type of packaging it's in, but to me, these are normally undetectable.

What I'm trying to say is you should most definitely take my "review" here with a trace amount of sodium.

I wasn't sure how to feel about Tasmanian Rain because it's touted as bottled rain water. Where I live, if you drink rain water, you'll probably erode the lining of your intestines (I live in Los Angeles). However, the Tasmanian Rain water is collected in Tasmania Australia, "The Edge of the World," where the air is the purest in world. Thats' quite a claim, but the promise is that the air has been scientifically proven to be the purest in the world because it crosses three oceans by the winds of the Antarctic and never touches the ground before it's collected.

Hey, if the Tasmanian Devil has that much energy, the water there must be good!

The Tasmanian Living Writers Week is running over the 11th to the 20th August. The organisers have organised, as the do, several statewide food and wine events to accompany the bookfest.

There are the usual literary lunches and dinners there is a session called Words Food and Wine where Tasmanian wine writers and local winemakers will speak about making words 'delicious on the page'. The writers are Mark Smith, Graeme Phillips and Tony Walker, while the local winemakers include Delamere's Richard Richardson. Venues include Barringwood Park vineyard, Ghost Rock vineyard and Launceston's Stillwater restaurant.
