Our Thirsty Camel Humpers have been getting some great deals in the last couple of months and theres still more to come-next week you can buy a 700ml Johnnie Walker for only $24.98!  Dont think Dans can beat that price!

$3000 DONATED TO LARGS/BOLWARRA BUSHFIRE BRIGADE

We would like to give a massive thanks to all who attended the ball this year and helped to raise this phenomenal amount of cash.  We are also happy to give it straight back to our local community by aiding one of our most essential and necessary organisations in Largs and Bolwarra!

Italian proverb: “Non puoi avere la botte piena e la moglie ubriaca.”

"You can’t have a full wine barrel and a drunk wife,"
but its meaning is
"You can’t have your cake and eat it too."

Check out our specials in the bottle shop - you'll find lots of great wines and many from the Hunter Valley to try. Click here

Brenda Clouten Memorial Award

Brenda was 60 when she passed away of breast cancer after first being diagnosed in June 1999. After chemo and treatment she had the all clear until June 2001 when we were told it was to be terminal. She soldiered on for another 3 years. Brenda had lived in the Maitland area for more than 25 years and spent the last 16 years at Largs. Brenda was an amazing person always seeing the good in everyone, putting others before herself. Even at her sickest moments she would always be concerned ‘how you were’. She derived a lot of pleasure from the arts. She loved  ballet, musicals, theatre and all things arty. She loved the good things in life and always lived for the moment. The scholarship is our way of creating a lasting memorial that will give benefit to a young, upcoming talent in the hunter area and keep her alive in our hearts. Vicki and Bruce Woods (scholarship founders)

1ST PRIZE: 11 WEEK EXHIBITION AT MRAG FROM 24.8.12 TO 11.11.12.
The winner will be offered up to 15.8 running metres of wall space or up to 46.8 square metres of floor space.
