Some of the testimonials we received from satisfied Wine Focus Australia Sydney 2007 exhibitors include:

" I have had the pleasure of exhibiting at a Wine Focus Australia event. Being an owner of a boutique winery in the Eden Valley SA called Poverty Hill, it is not an easy task to get our wines to people who truly enjoy and appreciate high quality wines. Both Leone Davy and Linas Zalk have definitely achieved this by organising a strong targeted event, such as the one held at the MCA in Sydney.

During the event, we received close to a 1/2 a palet of orders and to top it all off, we also secured a distributor who is now selling our wines to top restaurants in Brisbane and Sydney. I am looking forward to being part of all future Wine Focus Australia events as its a truly a huge value add for boutique brands".

"Wine Focus Australia Sydney 2007 was very successful for us. Our winemaker and I joined the exhibition specifically to find a distributor. We received interest from two distributors and we are now selling our wines in the Sydney and Melbourne markets. We also made many new mail order customers in Sydney from the general public tasting".
