Christmas coming early
You know how we love to experiment with online stuff so here is our early Christmas pressy to you for 2008.
Recently we have teamed up for a special promo with the guys from Barringtons Vines. Basically we are one of 5 high end South African farms to be listed with them for their unique vineyard leasing for 2008-2009 (You lease a vineyard block and you get a whole lot of unique wine – wine everyone else has heard of but can’t get – and this will be delivered to your door) .
(***Read this bit below if nothing else***)
Our cunning plan is to try see how fast and how far we can reach as many people as possible on multiple media platforms so we will be using Blogging, Twitter, Video Casting, Podcasting and Facebook. Basically the first 10 people anywhere in the world from each of the above mentioned platforms that link back to this post mentioning Barringtons or Stormhoek will receive the following via courier ( so you can have it in time for Christmas):
- Your own single vineyard reserve bottle of Stormhoek, labelled with your name and numbered just for you.
- An limited edition A5 print of the vineyard (like above) taken by Alain Proust, the world’s best vineyard photographer, signed by both Alain and the winemaker.
- Courier postage to anywhere in the world.
What the heck we will also send out a further 20 signed prints for those not lucky enough to get there first.
This offer will close at the end of the month and everyone who writes about the offer gets to be featured in a special follow up post that I will do at the end of November.
P.S. You have to check out the founder of Barringtons other business, its crazy its a chewable disposable toothbrush !! so cool.
P.P.S If you would like to rather email me your fine work feel free to send them to christmas@stormhoek.co.za

Thats an awesome give away! You guys seriously use Web 2.0 word of mouth better than most companies I can think of.
Congratulations!
