Mitchell Harris Footy Limerick 2nd Instalment


In theatre with scalpel and stitch
with Craig as my gas-passing bitch
I sew up those Caesars
with delicate tweezers
to pay for my "Harry and Mitch"


-Patrick Moloney


An average footy tipster like me

Needs this chance to get a bottle of MH wine for free

A limerick? No prob

I’ll get right on the job

And look forward to toasting the Cats winning spree


There once was a couple of couples

Who liked footy tipping and drinking bottles of bubbles

“Let’s make our own to put on the table”

And so was born the Mitchell Harris label

The wine that’ll make happiness of all of your troubles


Here is my last offering of a verse

Unfortunately, they are quickly getting worse

Which is not like MH wine -

That stuff becomes finer with time

And will quench any footy tipster’s thirst


-Jen Absalom


Here we are, it is round nine,
After all my trying, I think it's about time
Oh, wouldn't it be great
If I could pick eight
And the old man could win the wine.


-Ian Mitchell

MH Footy Tipping Limericks!


Yep, the Mitchell Harris Mate vs Mate Footy Tipping comp has our MAY LIMERICK CHALLENGE going!
A sample of the first week's work:

Two thousand and nine is a tipster's nightmare,
Results each week go the shape of a pear,
A drop of Mitchell Harris red eases the pain,
of punters going insane,
and cat fans who are too smug to bear. - Watto


There once was a tipper called Jan,
She was Didak's no 1 fan.
As the pies began to slide
To her wine-maker she did confide,
Mitchell Harris, full forward, is the plan. -Jan


There's a lot more things to football,
Than one would ever think,
There are blokes running round in pouring rain,
When they could be having a drink?
Me, I like Mitchell, the wine that gives me voice,
When you line them up together, 
Well, do you have a choice?

Go to the footy,
Drink Mitchell's wine,
Don't get too cocky,
Or step out of line.
It's only been decades,
Since my last flag,
Mitchell Harris is my winner,
Of that I do brag! - Helen


So there you go, can you tipsters beat any of those?? You have this week to go. Best poet collects the booze!

Mitchell Harris hits the town!


So, we've made it to the big city. And to one of the coolest restaurant/bars around at the moment too. This week the Mitchell Harris 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon has been taken up by the good folk at Seamstress, in Lonsdale St. A dead cool little spot if ever there was one, and we're absolutely stoked to have Seamstress be our first on-premises release in the CBD.
So, next time you hit the town, call in and have a glass or three to beat the winter chill.
