Patrons purchased a souvenir tasting glass embossed with the Fishy Pub and Windy Ridge Winery logos and enjoyed a free tasting of the new-release Windy Ridge wines. Attendees were then free to order their meal from a special menu, with Windy Ridge wines to compliment their selection.
Favourites for this year included the 2000 Pinot Noir and the 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon & Malbec, with plenty of support for the 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon & Malbec.
The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, with curious guests chatting with winemakers Graeme and Georgia Wilson about the wines they had created. The meals and service at the Fishy Pub were first class, and all enjoyed a great night out. At the end of the evening, the presenters of the evening stood for an ovation from the appreciative patrons.
Wine lovers make use of this fantastic offer: the new release wines are available for indent order (pre-purchase) until July 31 at $5 off per bottle. Wines will be delivered in November. See the Windy Ridge Winery website for further details. www.windyridgewinery.com.au
