| The organisers & winner of the California/Western Australian Cabernet Challenge. The winning trophy was taken by Edwards Vineyard. | Jeff Clarke, Cape Lavender, makes Lavender wines from his fields of Lavender & grapes. Besides a range of Lavender products, Jeff makes some excitingly different sparkling wine with a lavender twist. | Jane Bailey, Woody Nook Wines, showing off her very enticing Rose, a blend of Merlot & Chenin Blanc. It is not often that one gets this style right, balancing between tannins & sweetness. | Annette Hutton of Gralyn Estate, looking splendid next to her poster, where Robert Parker heaps praise for their wines of Cabernets and old vine Shirazes. Her stand shared equal 'star' status with Cullens and Pierro |
