Ride the wave and all that. If you can't handle the extra work hire some people temporarily to pick up the load. You don't want to lose the momentum. I'd say stick with playing hard to get. It seems to be working for you! :) Go with it. Ride the wave and all that. If you can’t handle the extra work hire some people temporarily to pick up the load. You don’t want to lose the momentum.

Had a chat to the manager and although he hadn't heard of Gapingvoid he certainly knew what blogging was. I went for the Sauvignon Blanc, although the Manager recommended the Pinot Grigio. Said it was far better than any Italian Pinot Grigio he'd ever tasted.

Now it's going to be down to delivering on those promises. If you guys can get that right then you won't have a problem selling all of the wine via word of mouse. I am a founder of a wine club called the Cru and want to discuss the Stormhoek model at the next meeting (i.e. drink the stuff). Where can I get a bottle of Cab in SA?
