“I have to confess that I am taken by Greg Cooley’s path to glory because my move through law to wine was punctuated by the part-ownership of two greyhounds that always wanted to run in the opposite direction to the rest of the field” – James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion

9 December, 2011 - CELLAR DOOR WINE DOG!
Mickey our brindle greyhound has recently had his first photo shoot with the Wine Dogs Team and will be featured in the new 2012 version of Wine Dogs, due out in August. We'll keep you posted on the outcome, but can assure you no photoshopping has taken place. It is he in all his glory, flaws, paws and all!
