Here's something you don't see everyday; leading wine publication Winestate pulled over on the side of a busy inner city street, literally giving their magazines away. It was all done in promotion of a deal which sees $60 getting you a 12 month subscription to the magazine (7 issues) as well as a $60 voucher for a gourmet restaurant. It's just a shame I don't like Ristorante Auge.
I stepped aside for a couple of minutes to talk to the pictured rep, who, at a brief glance, was experiencing some difficulty giving the magazine away to Adelaide's lunchtime crowd. In fact, the poor man was even heckled by one female passer-by!
Problems for Winestate magazine I'd suggest. Some interesting articles each month but the tasting notes are shit and some their "Wines of the Year" are just plain laughable.
ReplyDeleteI must agree with all of your points JP, especially re: the tasting notes. Trying to compile tasting notes/reviews on that many wines per month, in such a restricted amount of space, is surely fraught with issues?
