South Hill About Town

We’ve done a few wine sponsorships about Town of late and we’d like to share one or two of our experiences with you, if we may…
PR-Net meetings are held on a monthly basis by PR Guru and Travel Writer, Brain Berkman. Earlier this month Brian was kind enough to let us showcase and supply South Hill wines for attending PR’s at a meeting led by Clare Mack of Spill and Jamie Who, where they talked about communicating with bloggers. The bottom line is… treat a blogger as you would any other media personality, and target blogs as you would any other media platform. We had loads of fun at this rowdy meeting:

On another note, we’ve also spent some time with Marlene van der Westhuizen and guests in her Green Point kitchen. As you may know, Marlene is the author of many cookbooks such as Lazy Lunches and Sumptuous, she is owner of The Food Studio, and more recently has launched month-long cooking courses in France, which sound divine!
The studio in Green Point is a stunningly restored and light Victorian building that inspires and relaxes at the same time, add to the mix a leisurely cooking demonstration and a glass of good wine, and you never want the afternoon to end!
Picture the setting:
