WE'RE IN HAWKE'S BAY!

Lyn from Tauranga Tasting Tours & Charters

The first 2 days of our our Hawke's Bay Four Day Winery Tour went well. We had a delicious lunch at LINDEN, with a free matched wine with each course & a port to finish, as well as a tasty well-informed humorous wine presentation.. As usual CRAB FARM was quirky & CJ PASK classy. Each year, since 2008, The Gimblett Gravels Winegrowers' Association has hired a Sydney-based Master of Wine to choose his top syrah & blended reds from a single vintage. Of the 6 syrah chosen from the 2018 Vintage Selection, 2 were from Smith & Sheth, We salivated over their excellent wines & appreciated a knowledgable & passionate presenter..PARITUA WINERY'S greatest strength is in their Bordeaux-style red wines. With the help of a high-tech digital sorting machine that photographs every berry, rejecting those with imperfections, Paritua can make good wines from vintages from which many would qual! Bob Campbell says that this stylish, modern winery is one to watch. After tasting their wines, we agree! We also had lunch & an axcellent tasting at BLACK BARN. Two more days on this trip & we'll be redoing the tour 15-18 October, so if you wish to come, get in touch!.

A PRICELESS GIFT

Donna from Gate Pa

Hello everyone

The restriction on giving blood in response to the outbreak of ‘Mad Cow’ Disease in the UK (restricting anybody who lived in the UK between 1980 and 1996 from giving blood) was lifted 29 February 2024.

So, for the first time in over 30 years I donated blood last Tuesday. I am again able to give a priceless gift that may very well save a life – and all for just 1 hour of my time.

So, for whatever reason you haven’t given and would like to, I encourage you to find out more about how you can donate.

There is a lot of info on the NZ Blood Website.
