The Padthaway Vignerons 2011 vintage dinner was celebrated at the Keppoch Hall where the new ‘Padthaway Wine Region’ information folder and updated website were launched.  Special guest at the dinner was award winning wine expert, journalist and consultant Louise Radman who complimented the region for the quality of the wine being produced particularly that from Chardonnay and Shiraz.

A highlight of the night was the poem by Sam Ward describing the battle between Vincent Vigneron and his nemesis Barry Botrytis.  It bought the house down!  Sam is now a celebrity making it to WBM The Week That Was 20.05.2011.  To see the poem go to www.awbm.com.au/news-1?Particle=4168
