Circa 75 days ago. Drinking wine in a crowded room with a nice hair cut. That was living. Feat. @thelandingwines 2021 Rosé 📷 @parker instagr.am/p/CVjTVwcPM9V/

I’m loving getting stuck into all things @domainerewa at the moment. I first discovered their Riesling at the late great White House in Wanaka with @donaldson1076 circa 2018 🕌🥂 Now getting to know Philippa & Yannick, they’re a producer of significan… instagr.am/p/CUHbzmJJ_DO/

I’ve loved following Val & Don at @devotuswine vintage after vintage…you get a real sense of what their ambition and drive is. That is; raising free range children and growing nothing but Pinot Noir. 2020 Devotus & Devotus Reserve would have to be… instagr.am/p/CTIm_R7BTDB/

If there ever was a time to show the world we’ve earned our ‘seat at the table’ now would be it…19, 20…21 🥂🎬 Tasting through all the new release wines with Michael, Milan, Marijana & Paul on the anniversary of Maté’s passing…just days before Ma… instagr.am/p/CSNaXjbB7-r/

There’s always that one barrel that puts it’s hand up, a stunning wine as it is. A great wine that needs nothing blended in to be complete 🥂 Introducing that wine, a limited edition @kinross_nz x @helio.wine Hawkes Bay Chardonnay ‘The Director’s Cu… instagr.am/p/CRp9JUUMz1T/

When you go into business with a winemaking couple, it’s always convenient when one can make cracking Chardonnay and the other an impressive Pinot. I can see why one of our first pre-orders for Helio Pinot was from Felton Rd. New Zealand Pinot Noir and… instagr.am/p/CRgByOzsRMM/

Some fresh new texts for the Wine Library @thehotelbritomart 🍷🥂📚 A great selection of Académie du Vin Library books. The Académie was originally established in Paris in 1973 by the legendary Steven Spurrier, it was France's first private wine scho… instagr.am/p/CRXqRSJswgk/

An afternoon planning session is always more fruitful with a bottle of great Chardonnay on the table. ✍🏻🧐@stonyridgevineyard Luna Dorada, an elegant giant. Incredibly floral and pronounced on the nose with a good layer of toast on the palate. The o… instagr.am/p/CRSC3WgsV_S/

@saturdaynightpasta a great success even on a Sunday 🍽🍷 @valliwine Waitaki in support and making a perfect match for the finish article 👌🏼 #pinotnoir #chardonnay #waitaki instagr.am/p/CQpPpeeMNy8/

A pretty special group in the Libraries last night called for a pretty special line up 🍷 All truly great examples of Pinot Noir. The stories, the people and the places easily showcase why the ‘heartbreak grape’ is the Queen of all the red grapes. B… instagr.am/p/CQVTsaKsfhL/

What we’ll be drinking in The Wine Library tonight to celebrate International Chardonnay Day 🥂 @thehotelbritomart @pyramidvalleyvineyards @negociantsnz @northcanterburywines #chardonnay #nzwine @cranebrothers @murraycrane instagr.am/p/CPXFeC4slXS/

Big thanks to @patrickmcelhinney for assembling a rather epic line up of Chardonnay, all tasted blind. Always an enlightening experience removing the label from the sensory experience 🥂 📸 @paddo instagr.am/p/COY8UVbspWa/

As far as birthday bottles go, this was rather heroic. A flawless bottle that over delivered, Clos de la Roche, 2005 🍇🍷 Felton Block 5, 2007 was more than a worthy follow on. Two great sites showing true class. #rousseau #burgundy #pinotnoir @felt… instagr.am/p/CNTjwPpMgFF/

Decanters at the ready... @helio.wine Class of 2020 ready for the taste test 🌕 #hellohelio #chardonnay #syrah #pinotnoir #nzwine instagr.am/p/CM3i6-xMT2_/

Felton Rd, Bannokburn 05 🍇 A Pinot so great you can’t think about it or analyse it...you just get lost in it struggling to form a sentence. Hard to imagine this drinking any better than right now... #pinotnoir @feltonroad instagr.am/p/CMVd3upMDza/

My defensive stance when someone walks into a tasting and says “I don’t drink Chardonnay” #winetasting #chardonnayallday instagr.am/p/CMT3lxxM47a/

A truly great bottle of wine I had pre-lockdown that I’m still thinking about. A perfect example of @northcanterburywines at its best and why limestone is key... Thanks for sharing @tom_hishon 🍇🍷 instagr.am/p/CMShZuBM-0g/
