BoozeMonkey Weekly (19th May 2009)

How was your weekend? I hope you had as much fun as we did. I took the missus and mini-Matt to the Botanical Gardens in Sydney on Sunday and we spent the afternoon chilling to the sounds of light jazz in a bar at Circular Quay, had a lazy saunter around the Opera House. Then we got mobbed by cockatoos and lorikeets on the way back to the car (eat biscuits at your peril in the Botanical Gardens). Watching the sun set over the Harbour Bridge from Mrs Macquarie's Chair... well, that just rounded the day off perfectly.

:: WINE-MAKERS MARKETING GROUP
[ http://www.boozemonkey.com/group.php?group_id=25 ]
Our in-house Wine-Marketing Whizz Sandie Holmes has had such a great response to her blog last week that she has set up a discussion group for wineries interested in learning more about the power of social media to promote their brands. Whether you're a novice or an old hand, there are always new tricks to learn, and sharing "best practice" helps everyone. And that's what BoozeMonkey is all about. I would advise all our industry members to join the group and subscribe to the blogs and discussion posts.

Hope you all have a great week!

Cheers,

Matt
