Whirlwind

So, the past two weeks have been a blur.

We've had some setbacks (wine labels not being ready in time), some wins (eftpos machine finally sorted) and most importantly, we've had people through the door.

We haven't really be FLOODED with people, but we've had customers every single day, and we've made enough money to pay the mortgage and have both of us work at the winery (and not get a 'real' job in Bundaberg). It's a nice life, albeit a little quieter than we'd like.

We've had a lot of good feedback though. Josh and I are naturally pretty friendly people, so it's easy to have a chat with the customers who do come in. Everyone who has been to the winery before (in it's previous life as the Isis Winery) are amazed with what we've done to the place. So, that's always nice to hear.

And everyone else seems genuinely happy with their lunch platters, afternoon tea, coffee or wines...so that's nice to hear too. In case you're interested, we serve:

Maui Platter ($9pp)
Ham, proscuitto, salami, brie, pepper pecorino, cheddar, marinated olives, sundried tomatoes, relish, bread and crackers.

Kauai Platter ($9pp)
Blue vein, brie, pepper pecorino, cheddar, marinated olives, sundried tomatoes, stuffed baby peppers, relish, bread and crackers.

Big Kahuna Platter ($15pp)
Slow roasted pulled pork, guac, salsa, sour cream, wraps and corn chips.

Josh leaves it up to me to sort the kitchen (he's pretty handy for opening jars and lifting things off shelves though). I'm getting a lot more organised with practice, so it doesn't take too long to get a platter out. Each morning I whip up a batch of scones and sometimes something else too.

For the most part, he's at the front counter doing the wine tastings and making coffees, however we're both pretty flexible and help each other out when we need to. It's nice finding a job that we can do together and not get on each others nerves!
