Have booked an ADL-DPS return flight using OF points on QF website. Trying to select seats on JQ website but can't find option to pay for seats in points....... Is using QF points to pay for JQ seats on the JQ website a thing of the past?

It's these things that are really beginning to give me doubts about staying with IHG. I've been a Royal Ambassador for 10+ years. Stay 100+ nights per year, spend $30k+. They've just downgraded the previous benefit of free minibar to 25 x USD20 F&B Credits. Upgrades are now only 2 categories...

Yes, he did tip me off about the Carpe Diem. He'd confirm I wasn't best pleased either ;-) And a phonecall from a customer to cellar door about the auctions. Though to be fair, first thing I did was hop on and bid on them. Second thing a call into the Langton's buyer. :-) On the point you made...

Thanks Redbigot. Capsule not cheaper, in fact, more expensive - premium, hand-selected cork rather than DIAM30 previously - no microplastics either. Bottle reduction also one of a number of glass reductions across the entire business to remove 15,600kg annually. Someone brought these Carpe Diem...

It was the Grange lunches this week. $1,000 a ticket, take home a 'free' Grange 2018 :)

Distribution is about reach. Simply, you'll reach more more people, more quickly using distributors. I have no issue with "middle men", they're a valuable part of the distribution landscape. For most SMEs (us included) distributors have greater reach than we do on our own.

Happy for you to be as gentle or as harsh as you like. :-) The beauty of wine is its subjectivity and diversity of opinion which should be celebrated, certainly respected. As I mentioned in my post, the purpose of moving through a few of these wines is to quickly move through the old Geoff Hardy...

Hi Miso. Thought I'd hop in here and just correct the statement. 66% of the new Bec Hardy and Pertaringa business remains domestic distribution. Bec and I have been moving al lot of the former Geoff Hardy branded product of Pertaringa quickly to transition to new packaging and regain a...
