In late 2018 Mansfield winemaker Ros Ritchie opened a new cellar door within the historic Magnolia House – a late 1800s American Victorian-era kit home that was shipped to Melbourne as ballast, and on to the High Country via steam train by then owner Harry Amor of the Mansfield Courier. Constructed in 1908, the venue today is a fascinating place for sampling Ros’ premium cool climate wines. Complimenting these European varietals Essentials’ Megan Chalmers has put together a collection of French recipes to indulge in. Stay tuned this winter and spring for more recipes like this easy to prepare and delicious Salad Lyonnaise.
