The Peninsula continues to consolidate its food and wine reputation with the elevation of local vigneron Garry Crittenden to the rank of Victorian Food and Wine Industry Legend. Crittenden now joins other Peninsula identities, former restaurateur Herman Schneider and gardening guru Clive Blazey of Heronswood, as co-legends in the 20 year old awards, which are administered by an independent jury of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival.
