The dangers of operating an Australian wine auction

by Mark Wickman » Sun Apr 07, 2013 7:41 pm

Caught slithering around the Penfolds Grange whilst doing an inspection of an outback cellar yesterday.

And yes.. the head was on it at the time .. it took some deft spade work by the cellar owner to separate the head without breaking any bottles.

Is it ONLY the snakes? EVERYTHING in Australia is toxic or well-toothed, amiright?
