Order Wine from September Newsletter

Hello wine lovers!

If you haven't noticed, spring is here. I'm sure that you have! :o)

Spring, brings new buds, new grape vine buds! And so is heralded yet another fabulous grape production season. That only means one thing: more fabulous wine! So order wine!

During the winter months now past, the pruners would have been out enforce, snipping here and there, aiming to get the best quality yield for the coming growing season. Grapes only develop on the branches that grew during the previous year, so the pruner would have kept only two branches on each plant for growing grapes. On each of those two branches the pruner keeps two buds and removes the rest of the buds (what lonely buds!).

With the early stages of spring, the sleeping vines begin to stir and our little 4 buds on each plant begin to look like they will bust. The vineworkers have by now bent down each branch and wrapped them along the wires.

Moving into spring, each branch will be full of leaves and the viticulturist will be monitoring each plant for best quality production. It's a busy time for the vineyard, and a hustle and bustle abounds the wine making regions of Australia: there's a spring in the air!

Hasn't the year simply flown by. Soon it will be bye bye 2007! Always a good time to order wine and celebrate with some bubbly don't you think?!

Who are our lucky competition winners from last month?

Well we ran several competitions last month:

1) Everyone who ordered wine more than $195 during August would receive a free bottle of wine. Now that's an easy competition wasn't it? And many of you took up the offer!

2) Our usual monthly new members subscription lucky draw. This time I made it a bit different by allowing existing newsletter subscribers who logged onto the site to re-enter the draw, (but you had to log in during August to reset your entry).

3) The final competition was for existing customers. All existing customers who made a wine order of any amount during August would go into the draw to wine another $250 case of wine.

We've a bunch of free wine to give out to all of the purchases over $195. There's quite a few of you!

The new members subscription lucky draw was won by: Pat and John Ashby of Geebung, QLD. Congratulations Pat and John.

The existing member lucky draw was won by: Edwin Freeman of Miranda, NSW. Congratulations Edwin!

All of our lucky winners will be receiving their wine over the next few days. Enjoy your wine! These lucky people won't have to order wine for a few weeks will they!

We recommend Waruna Winery, one of our most recent member wineries. Waruna is a small boutique winery on the Northern end of the Mornington Peninsula. Wines from Waruna are made using traditional methods. Based upon a minimalist approach, they keep their wines on lees and have low levels of preservatives (sulphides). Any movement of wine during racking or other procedures are kept to a minimum. The result can be assured to have received the finest quality of care. Waruna have some great discounts on their product as well, so please check them out and order wine.
