Join the queue
August 8th, 2012 | Business
It’s funny how our customers always appear to order at the same time. We can have nothing for several days, and then two or three orders will suddenly appear together. Certainly there are peaks and troughs during the year – as you might imagine late spring/early summer is usually a very busy time as customers stock up for the warmer weather (we hope).
As our thoughts turn towards the harvest we also encourage our importers to order now, rather than in the middle of September when we are up to our ears in grapes.The result of our forward planning can be seen in today’s photo where you can see an orderly queue of pallets waiting to be collected. Indeed, tomorrow we will start to prepare yet another large order for export, and to be quite frank I’m not too sure exactly where we are going to put it.
Hopefully, by the start of next week, we should have an orderly queue of trucks waiting at our door. If the wine does not leave sooner rather than later we may have to cancel the harvest as we simply won’t have enough space to work!
