Findwine showcase their Wendouree wines
Thursday November 18th, 2010
I was recently invited by the team at Findwine to a tasting where they were showcasing their wines from the Wendouree vineyard. I understand that purchasing wines from this vineyard is extremely difficult; their wines are normally sold only to private purchasers in small amounts.
