Montana wines missing for first time
The 30 gold, i 59! silver, and 109 bronze in the Easter show! were notable mainly for the absence of the! Montana name for thej [first time since New Zealand competitions were! inaugurated, reports ’(The Press” wine columnist, Maurice Hunter. This seems to indicate q change of strategy, although no reasons were forthcoming [ j from trie company executives. l I Villa Maria : 7Vidals led the way with 9 golds arid 9 silvers, followed by Cooks with 4 J and! 7J and Corbans/Robard and ! Butler with 4 and 5. Collards scored well with 3 and 6 and it was [pleasing to note that the [standard of Hunters was ; maintained with golds for charddnnriy and fume blaric.
