"Hello Andrew Hood speaking"
"Hi Andrew
it's PJ
from winepunters here I wanted to organise an interview with you"
"No
worries I have heard so much about you and your fabulous website. You
are incredibly well respected in the industry and I can't wait to talk
to you"
(Hang
on a minute, that's not how it went! .... this is what really happened

"Hello Andrew Hood speaking"
"Hi
Andrew it's PJ
from winepunters here I wanted to organise an interview with you"
"Ok
no problems, I have someone coming from overseas so can we make it next
week?"
"Happy to fit in with you Andrew I am assuming
we would come to see you at Wine Making Tasmania in Cambridge"
"Well
you would be completely wrong, they are the competition!"
"Er
... oh that's right you are Frogmore Creek" ....
embarrassed laugh then silence.
(Hmm this is going well
- Ed)
So
punters, unfortunately we have to report another PJ inspired
professional fail. He has a way of embarrassing himself in front of the
most well known people in the wine industry. In an effort to try to
reduce the chance of this sort of thing happening again and improving his interview technique we made PJ ring
our god, Andrew Denton, for some tips.
"Hi Andrew PJ
here from
Winepunters.com, sorry to hear about you and Jennifer. Look I
have
stuffed up again and need your advice"
"Who are you?
How did you get my number? If you ring again I will
call the police!"
(Hmm
obviously not his day for talking to Andrews - Ed)
Thankfully
Andrew Hood didn't appear to be offended and you will get to hear the
results of our conversation with him during June. PJ has promised to be
on his best behaviour but we are sending Michelle along to make sure.
