“Despite my attempts to introduce (my wife) to '82 Bordeaux and the like, my wife would only drink white wine (mostly Chardonnay) until our friend brought a bottle of Blue Eyed Boy to dinner a few weeks ago. She actually decided to taste it. She absolutely loved it. It is the only red wine that she had ever tasted and enjoyed. Then, a week or two later, Ted brought a bottle of Carnival of Love to dinner. She tasted (and drank) it and she raved about it for days. Thus, I concluded that she likes Shiraz. So over the following week or so I opened up some classics from my cellar- D'Arenberg Dead Arm, Padthaway Henry's Drive, Peter Lehman, etc... No Go! She loves the Mollydooker wines only! One exception was a bottle of Marquis Phillips that she gave her blessing to. Obviously, she will only drink a wine made by Sarah!” - Elliott Dolin, California

“We stock nearly all your range of wines at both of our restaurants just outside London,UK. They are becoming increasingly popular. As we all know they are wonderful wines. In order to promote the fact we sell your wine in our restaurants, I wondered if it is possible to promote your wines with your logo or any of your flash from your website on our own website…..May I add, the website is fantastic – it’s great fun looking through it.” - Adam Michaels, The Nags Head Inn and Restaurant,United Kingdom

“We can't thank you enough for taking so much of your valuable time (and on one of your busiest and most important days) to share the Mollydooker story with us. We were fans before; we are true acolytes now. Thank you again for giving us ‘front row seats’ to see how our favorite Mollydookers come to life. Your time with us was a great, unexpected treat. So, for now, we are going back to enjoying our dwindling supply of Boxers, Blue Eyed Boys, Carnivals of Love, and Velvet Gloves, and hope that this year's release arrives soon. (By the way, we have absolutely no idea if your wines age well. We suspect they do… but we have no interest in finding out).” - Jim Benson, Massachusetts

“G'Day Janet (AKA Sparky's Mum or Mom in the States)... thanks so much for the email. One of your team members, Victoria, was wonderful and supplied a ton of info for my wine tasting. All of my wineaux friends are now talking about wine in the Fruit Weight vernacular. We had an amazing night of Mollydooker Shiraz's. I was lucky to introduce a number of our friends to the extraordinary Mollydooker wines... Lefties to Velvet Glove. I was turned on to your wines when Mollydooker first arrived in the states and in particular to Montana. Will be checking out your diary regularly. Hope to visit Adelaide and Mollydooker someday soon. We have been to your amazing country and would love to go back. I am your biggest fan in the States, I think!!!” – Marina Beirne, Texas

“Your customer service has been outstanding and very much appreciated. I am a Mollydooker fan for life! Cheers to everyone at Mollydooker!” - Annette Russo, California

“I just had the 05 Enchanted Path, brilliant, as in fantastic, as in superb!” – Luke Richards, South Australia

“My wine arrived safe and sound to my friend in South Carolina! Unfortunately, I live in a wine delivery-free area in Delaware… so I had to ship it to South Carolina. The good thing is, I can introduce my friend to Mollydooker wines when I visit him in a few weeks, and bring a few bottles back every time I visit him. Thanks for the wonderful customer service. I had my first glass of a Mollydooker (the Merlot) a few weeks ago (it helped that my childhood nickname was Scooter!), went onto to your website, and felt like this was a group of fun and committed individuals that I needed to get to know. I have never ordered a case of wine in my life, and I did it after one glass! I look forward to stopping by the winery when my wife and I take our long-anticipated trip Down Under.” – Scott Loveless, Delaware

"Now that was fun! An unexpected plus for a journey to the wine country of California - capturing fine Aussie wine from a world away... great timing on our part! Thank you. You were engaging and fun and every bit the caliber of representative needed to embrace an entire country with the world class wine you hold.
Thank you for enlivening the airwaves with the Toasted Hostess - I look forward to hearing from you, and seeing where this new energy leads." – Jeffry Gordon, The Corkscrew Diary

"Sparky and Sarah, I recently ordered a case of wine and really appreciate the spectacular service on really great wine. The Thank You call is a nice touch and the free shipping on a case is excellent. Also, excellent follow up via email. Bravo to you and your team!" - Tim Staley, California
