It's Friday! What's Hot?! (8th May 2009)

At the end of every week we ask the question on BoozeMonkey : "It's Friday! What's Hot?!"

SANDIE HOLMES IS HOT! [http://tinyurl.com/cmxtwg]
Wine-marketing guru Sandie Holmes is the hottest thing in town! Her blog about Twitter and Facebook, and the shift in the way ordinary people & marketeers are using new internet technologies, was the most read article on the site this week. So if you haven't popped your Twitter cherry yet (or if you don't even know what Twitter is), then let Sandie walk you through it. Don't worry, she'll be gentle with you.

VINTAGE STORIES ARE HOT! [http://tinyurl.com/c23mqw]
With almost 650 hits, it's pretty clear that everyone is interested in reading our wineries' stories about vintage 2009. Please keep 'em coming guys! There are plenty of you who haven't told us how YOUR vintage went this year, and we're all eager for news.

THE GALAFREY WINES COMPETITION IS HOT! [http://tinyurl.com/cph575]
We extended the deadline for the Galafrey Wines competition and you've been coming up with some great reasons why YOU should win the $300 case of wine on offer: some funny, some poetic, and some just plain weird. But this is your last chance if you want to get a late entry in, or to put a second entry in (there's no rule against multiple competition entries). Good luck!

VINTAGE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE HOT!
Check out the links below for some great images of vintage 2009. There are plenty more great shots on the site, so feel free to browse the photo albums (just click on ALBUMS on the task bar) to see more pictures of our beautiful wine country. A word of warning though: you'll probably want to quit your job and become a winemaker...
