James Halliday 2009 Wine Companion Review

Five Star Winery: Local farmers and graziers Sarah and Tom Guthrie diversified their activities, while continuing to run their fat lamb and wool production with 2 ha of shiraz and 1.2 ha of chardonnay.  In 2006, 90% of the vineyard was devastated by bushfire; various wineries across Vic donated grapes and wine ensuring the production of wine for the year. In Bold:   They have an exceptional newsletter that helps build fierce loyalty, and as the vineyard recovers, both the Guthries and their customers will be the winners.
