We had a strange little spot, tucked away near the tasting test and the sausage man (easy access for Breakfast). It wasn't the best spot on the day, but it was ok. The weather, however, was a nightmare! From about 9am (when the festival opened) til at least 1pm (two hours before it finished) the weather was switching between being windy and bitterly cold, to raining and windy, to 'hold onto the tent, I think it's about to blow away' windy.
It wasn't ideal.
Weather aside, the festival was ok and we sold a few bottles. Nothing major and nothing as good as some of the other festivals we've attended, but we covered our costs. Josh's mum held the fort back at the cellar door and sold nearly as much as us!
I did get to meet Matt Golinski and Alastair McLeod though, and that was pretty cool. Matt said he'd heard our interview on the radio (yep - it went State-wide!) and said he was hoping we'd be at the festival, because he wanted to meet us. He was telling Alastair all about our farm and even about some of the fruits we grow!
And Josh got to catch up with a few old friends and meet Bert, the brew master of Baffle Creek beer (his new favourite brew).
All in all, not a complete waste of a Sunday.
