Our Number 1 Fan

Despite only being open for one week, we have already gained our "Number 1 Fan".

There's this older lady in town, who has lived here all her life and her family is a big name around this area. She heard about our winery and popped in one day with a friend of hers. They shared a pot of tea and I sat out in the garden with them and had a chat.

She grabbed a few business cards and said that she had a lovely time and would tell her friends. Nothing new, we've heard that from a few people.

The next day, she was back with her niece. She said she didn't want anything to eat or drink, she just wanted to bring her niece here to show her what we've done with the place. She ended up having a glass of water while her niece had a coffee. She asked if she could take a few more business cards and a copy of our lunch menu.

The day after that, she was back again - this time with a different friend. She had laminated our menu, but realised our phone number and opening hours weren't printed on it. She didn't stay long, but grabbed some extra details and left once more.

Today we had a lady call in to grab a few details from us, she said that she'd heard about this from her friend and wanted to pop in to find out more. Our Number 1 fan had been at it again!

Later today, while chatting to the staff at the bowls club, Cooper mentioned the winery. "Oh! We've heard about the new winery from your Number 1 Fan! She was raving about it. We are going to come down and check it out soon!"


I think it's time to put her on the payroll - she's done more advertising for us than any thing else!
