I’m not in the habit of regurgitating press releases, as most of them are incredibly boring, and by publicising anything I’m just handing out free PR (which makes me feel a little dirty).
But, the concept here is very clever and the wineries involved I rather like (trip to the King Valley sounds good too) so I’m happy to talk this up. Will hopefully get along on one of the nights…
