Bruce Tyrrell's wife, Pauline, reckons he burns the water when he makes a cup of tea so cooking's not really his thing. His son, Chris, is more at home in the kitchen and will take over culinary duties for a family or other festive occasion. Together they run Tyrrell's Wines in the Hunter Valley. Chris and his siblings, Jane and John, are the fifth generation continuing the family business which began in 1835.
