A Fino romance
Whether it's advancing age, a yearning for the bucolic or simply a shift in personal priorities, it's hard to tell. But there is undoubtedly a common thread to the most pleasurable meals of the past year: smart chefs cooking with their hearts instead of their egos, in semi-rural locations, using the kind of produce only hard work and strong local contacts can procure.

Put your trust in Sharon
Sharon Romeo (front) and David Swain (back) are very well known and respected in Adelaide’s hospitality (horrible word) industry. I adore Sharon and I’m in a big queue. Even if you don’t know her by name you will probably recognise her as starring at various restaurants where you’ve had a good time. She makes everyone feel special and that’s a gift.

Best Small List: Fino, McLaren Vale
Gorgeous! Yummy! Hurray – what a lovely couple of weeks giving my favourite South Australian restaurants their annual review.
Five entrees, three mains, three desserts and a couple of specials… what more do you need if they are all terrific? Absolutely nothing!
