February 2010

Dear VIP Guest at Sandalford’s Motown Legends concert,


"Motown sound still dancing in the streets" said "The West Australian" following another incredible concert at Sandalford Wines last Sunday evening!!!

It was certainly an incredibly memorable night and definitely a never to be repeated once in a life time experience for the 10,000 people who travelled to Sandalford for the show We are delighted you were on hand to experience the performance, and take this opportunity to sincerely thankyou for your continuing support and patronage of Sandalford Wines and our annual concert program.

We are pleased to advised the winner of the six pack of 2005 Prendiville Cabernet Sauvignon as part of the entry competition in the VIP area was Janine Collier of Carramar. We will be in contact with you soon to arrange collection of your prize.

A few people have mentioned since about the barnyard smell during parts of the evening – we want to clarify here that Sandalford Wines is currently in the middle of the annual grape harvest and vintage (V10) – the odour was entirely related to the completely natural grape skin waste product (it wasn’t sewage, manure nor anything else like that). Given a gentle easterly wind was blowing Sunday night (at this time of the year the prevailing evening winds are normally westerly in direction), the smell wafted across to parts of the concert green but by the end of the evening the wind changed direction (to a more normal pattern) taking the odour with it away from concert goers. We sincerely apologise about this but trust patrons to understand that whilst a bit unpleasant at times, the smell was not a typical for any wine business (also - this is the first time in a decade of doing outdoor events at this time of year we had a problem of this nature). That notwithstanding we will certainly do our best to mitigate this from reoccurring for the upcoming shows during the remainder of this concert season and beyond.
