As those of you who bought tickets for the wine festival may or may not have been aware, everyone who purchased was entered into a prize draw to win a case of wine from The Perfect Wine.
At our post wine festival meeting on Wednesday we drew a name out of a hat...
And the winner is....
SALLY LLOYD of Myriad Marketing.
Huge congratulations Sally, your mixed case is on its way to you...

Battle of the Wine Merchants
The first Norwich Festival culminated in an event on 1st October at which local wine merchants went head-to-head for the titles of Best Red and Best White. Each merchant entered two bottles, each of which had to retail for less than £10.
Over fifty members of the public dropped in to the WinePress @ Wensum wine bar to sample the wines and vote on their favourite. Labels were covered to make sure that people weren’t swayed by preconceptions of different grapes or regions, and each bottle was numbered.
Aaaaand, drum-roll please, the winners were:
WHITES:
WINNER – Number 3: Naked Wines’ Sylvia Reserve
REDS:
WINNER – Number 7: Naked Wines’ Chalk Hill Assemblage 2009
Thank you to everyone who came along and voted! The wines can be found on the merchants’ websites.
The wines were revealed at the end of the evening – but for any early-comers who left before the announcement and are wondering which wines they voted for, the complete list of wines is :
