Some days, the universe just throws you a win – and today was one of those days!
We received the most thoughtful little care package from one of our long-time, loyal customers, Jerry, all the way from Inverell in New South Wales. It brought a huge smile to my face — and not just because it involved salami!
I still remember packing Jerry’s wine orders way back in my late teens (yes, that was quite a while ago – let’s just say "a loooong time ago" and leave it at that ). He’s been with us through the years, and truly one of our best customers.
Well, Jerry has taken things to the next level. He’s started crafting homemade salami using our very own Deer Stalker Merlot – and sent us a sample pack as a thank-you for "making such excellent wine." How amazing is that?
Now, while I can’t take credit for making the wine myself, Bronson and I did the honourable thing and hosted a salami tasting breakfast this morning. What a way to start the day!
We sampled:
- Calabrese style (both traditional and modern)
- Tuscan style
Each one was exceptional — rich, full of character, and perfectly paired with memories of travelling through Spain and savouring artisanal meats across Europe.
A huge cheers to you, Jerry! Your kindness, creativity, and continued support mean the world to us. Thanks for turning our wine into something so unique and delicious. Here’s to great wine, great food, and even better people.
