Two big winners at Hunter Boutique Winemakers Show

Saddlers Creek and Thomas Wines were the big winners at the Hunter Boutique Winemakers Show this week. The awards, held at the Crowne Plaza on Thursday night, celebrate the efforts of the smaller wineries and is invariably a hotly contested affair. Saddlers Creek’s 2009 Semillon took out two major awards – it was named best white wine of the show, and also took out the Karl Stockhausen trophy.
