Word from our lucky winner of a case of wine
"Hi Celia
I was the lucky winner of the box of wine from Canterbury vineyards for subscribing to your online newsletter.
I first became connected with your establishment when buying a book from you, as I was interested in opening a cafe and have since received mail updating cooking classes etc.
To my surprise I was phoned during the day at work and, it was a very busy day, to be the winner of the box of wine.
Hence to say my husband and I and numerous family and friends have enjoyed each bottle that has been opened to date, especially the reds, which went first.
So thank you for the wines and I enjoyed the first newsletter.
I do not work in the hospitality industry but have often dreamed of a career change and ponder over your long-term courses.
I might take the plunge one day?
Regards
Ann Bray-Taylor (nee Rudolph) my husband and I recently married after 17 years of togetherness and 3 kids late."
