Have you entered this draw yet?
The Win a Bottle of Grange promotion is almost half way through. A bottle of Grange is being given away every day until next Tuesday 12 December. To go into the draw you will just need to buy a dozen bottles of wine. There are quite a few themed dozens available, all at reasonable prices. A few have a bonus 13th bottle included or maybe two glasses (but some are selling out so be quick!). You can check out the range of offers via this link.
Thank you
Thank you to all of my readers and supporters throughout the year. I enjoy hearing from readers who tell me about new varieties and producers. Many of you buy books, maps, wine etc via my website which helps to defray my costs for the website and various backend services I need.
We can all continue to support each other by talking up vinodiversity when we are buying wine, online, in retail outlets, cellar doors and when ordering wine in restaurant. If we want a vibrant and interesting wine scene we all have a role in supporting the innovative winemakers at the cutting edge.
Have a happy and safe festive season and we can look forward to a better year next year.
Cheers
Darby
