WHO ARE WE?

Rick Allen and Brenda Christian are the Hunter Hedonists. We're a couple of journalists who love to eat, drink, read, write, travel... and one of us is a sports tragic. We love a good drop of wine, so opted for a vine change from Sydney to the Hunter Valley - our final frontier. Our continuing mission is to explore strange new (online) worlds, to seek out new food and wine, to boldly go where we've never gone before.
