    We are saddened to learn of Owen’s passing. It is a great honour and privilege to have worked with both you and Owen as we kick started the Gippsland Wine Industry back in the 80’s. We have fond memories of the fine wines and food and stories that we shared over the years.
    Robyn, may you find peace and comfort as you navigate the roller coaster of emotions in the coming months.
