Not only is it less expensive than more traditional outreach, the results are often better from a brand and customer loyalty point of view. What social media gives you is that personal connection with the [...]

OWS#4: Merlot Revisited and Effect of Vine Age
OzWineShow #4 opens up a Merlot and also looks at what effects vine age have on the final product.
OWS#6: Victorian Winemakers (Part 1) – Roy Moorfield and Savaterre
The interviews this episode include Roy Moorfield, who founded the event 27 years ago and Keppell Smith, owner and winemaker at Savaterre. These guys were most accommodating with being interviewed on the spur of the moment and both are clearly very passionate about what they do. Keppell produces some fantastic wine and I highly recommend adding yourself to his mailing list. Savaterre’s production and distribution are limited but the mailing list is a direct way to access the coming releases.
