The first bottles of the 05 Grampians Shiraz have been successfully 'zorked', and early signs are that it will provide even better drinking than the 04 Shiraz.
Stay tuned for the official release details later in the year.
We had our tasting and sales booth set up at the Friday night event in Ararat.
The chilly wind kept a lot of punters at home, but there was a good response to the wine from those who did attend.
We'll be having our tasting booth set up at a lot more events to come so keep your eyes peeled for us.
