Wine & Cheese Tasting

New Zealand School of Food & Wine

A field trip to Maison Vauron with our Diploma Cookery and hospitality students where we enjoyed a cheese and wine tasting.
.
The Cheese
• Tomme de Chevre Cendree – raw goats milk from the Loire Valley. A cheese of smooth cream, mushroom with refreshing acidity
• Brie de Meaux, ripe, delicate, and always easy to like.
• Abbaye De Citeaux – a washed rind cheese of unpasteurised cows milk cheese produced in an Abbey in Bourgogne Montbeliarde cows. Funky and a bit wild on the nose but rich and creamy on the palate.
• Gruyère from Switzerland with butter and toasted nuts. So easy to eat more and more.
• Roquefort, the famous sheep’s milk cheese in the town of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon must lead the game of best blue. Creamy, feral but with good acidity and a long lingering finish.

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Have You Had Your Annual Diabetes Review Yet?

The Doctors Sunset

If you live with diabetes, your annual diabetes review with our Registered Nurse is one of the most important appointments of the year.

This check-up isn’t just a routine visit it’s a proactive way to protect your health and prevent complications.

During your annual review, our RN will:
✔️ Check your HbA1c and blood sugar control
✔️ Review your blood pressure and cholesterol
✔️ Arrange blood tests if needed
✔️ Check your feet (early detection prevents serious problems)
✔️ Review your medications
✔️ Support healthy lifestyle goals
✔️ Answer any questions or concerns

Diabetes can affect many parts of the body including your heart, kidneys, eyes, and feet. Regular reviews help us pick up small changes early, before they become bigger issues.

📞 If you receive a recall from us, please don’t ignore it. Booking your annual diabetes review is one of the best steps you can take to stay well and in control of your health.

Your health matters and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
