Palmers strike gold at Sydney International Wine Competition

A swag of gold medals at one of Australia’s major wine shows is a good drum roll into the region’s biggest wine event – the Margaret River Wine Festival. Palmer Wines, which will stage the premium event on April 14 at their Dunsborough restaurant/cellar, won five blue gold awards and a trophy at the 2012 Sydney International Wine Competition – and it could not have come at a more appropriate time for them, reports the Busselton Mail.
