Winery marketing strategies – competitions or not?
Last November I was fortunate enough to be invited to release tasting of the Misha’s Vineyard 2009 range of wines at the Grove Restaurant in Auckland.

Not only did the wines taste beautifully but the food was also absolutely delicious which resulted in an extremely positive experience for the ‘reviewer’. Moreover, these occasions are certainly one of the ‘perks of the job’ and thus many of the leading food and wine journalists were present.
