Sounds interesting !!!
Thanks for the heads up Lauren, I’ll check it out 🙂
Hey Casey, You should check out End2End Festival in the Hunter Valley September! It is in it’s second year and so cool!
Hey Steve, please let me know what festivals I might be missing. I know a number of festivals haven’t released their dates yet, so I haven’t included these in case they don’t run this year. In regards to the advertising on my blog, you won’t find transparency like I display here, on many other websites around the web. Advertising on blogs and websites is everywhere but no one actually writes they get paid for them in plain English. I fully disclose so my readers can choose whether to click on the ads or not, it’s overly professional. I appreciate you taking the time to share your opinion and if you have any further concerns, please contact me via [email protected] Cheers!
I think you are missing a lot of festivals, you need to do more research. I also find the reference to getting a commission from Dan Murphy’s purchases very bizarre and i dont think that is really very correct or professional.. anyway just my opinion. BTW been in the wine industry 30 years..
