It's too long for a blog, but, I will provide the link below for those who are interested in reading more.
Here are the highlights:
Sarah Watts and Sparky Marquis met in 1987 and married in 1991 with $1,000 between them and dreams of some day owning their own business.
They got into the wine business and began making wine for many successful Australian producers, winning many awards including Australian winemakers of the year in 1999.
In 2006 they realized their dream and started their own brand - Mollydooker, which in Aussie means "left handed", because they were both left handed.
They had $17 in the bank.
They couldn't even afford to buy labels for the wine.
Read what happens next from their story ....
And then a miracle happened. A local businessman walked in the door, said he had heard that they may be in trouble, and asked to know the story. Half an hour later he walked out the door on his way to a month’s holiday. Sparky stood, tears pouring down his cheeks, holding a cheque for enough money to enable them to survive.
Fast forward to today: Mollydooker wines have received more 94 point and higher ratings from Robert Parker than any other winemakers in the world.
That's right. The world.
Whether it's the $25 "The Boxer" Shiraz or the amazing Velvet Glove Shiraz for $200, the wines are exceptional and definitely worth a try.
