This week we have enjoyed tasting and learning about innovative estates such as Burn Cottage from Central Otago, Heron’s Flight who make an exceptional Sangiovese in Matakana. Always a pleasure to taste the wines of Hans and Therese Herzog and we savoured the Mistral, a blend of 60% Viognier, 20% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne.
Te Mata’s Cape Crest showcases Hawkes Bay barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc and is interesting to compare with Sancerre from Henri Bourgeois also the owner of Clos Henri. Pegasus Bay’s Finale is New Zealand best example of a Sauternes style with deliciously ripe Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc.
Learning about New Zealand’s wine geography and tasting some special wines along the way is always rewarding.
The wines that were tasted were -
- Hans Herzog Estate, Mistral 2016
- Burn Cottage Vineyard, Pinot Noir 2016
- Te Mata Estate Winery, Caupe Crest Sauvignon Blanc 2017
- Heron's Flight Vineyard - Matakana, Amphora Sangiovese 2016
- Pegasus Bay Winery, Finale 2017
- Henri Bourgeois Sancerre, 2018 (Clos Henri Vineyard)

Hi neighbours. A stoat on the loose in Auckland's pest-free Hauraki Gulf could be island-hopping between them.

Stoat footprints were spotted by a ranger on Motutapu Island on May 20, just a few weeks after a stoat was confirmed on the neighbouring Motukorea/Browns Island in mid-March. Do you think DOC will catch it? Are you worried about native flora and fauna in the Hauraki Gulf?

I spend heaps on clearing water way of weeds now the council renegades on a promise to take back one of their rescued family of titirangi Chickens that i originally happily re-homed only 1 grew into a rooster over lockdown. To start I offered to take some girls if they needed re-homing as my current pet girls are getting a bit old so happy to take in a few young ones as replacement layers. i stipulated girls only. However they asked if i could re-home a younger family than planned and assured me they were only girls. However i asked the question if one did turn out to be a rooster (I was concerned as i live obviously urban and did not want to upset my neighbors) I was promised and assured whole heartedly that if they did sex incorrectly they would remove those no problem. Well within the space of a few weeks over lockdown he revealed himself. (They do develop quite fast once they reach the point) I e-mailed to all my contacts from the rescue operation, txtd and phoned saying of course i understood lockdown but once we were clear of that could they please come collect him before my neighbours got upset. Well surprise surprise no response from anyone, I waited patiently for lockdown and protocol to be lessoned but still nothing. UNTIL ........ yep neighborhood complaints about the crowing and fair enough, completely understand I do not like upsetting people my heart was in the right place the girls are fine other than the fact that the boy harrases them alot. Council contacted me to say that there have been complaints and what was i to do about it. I sent all my communication to the person who rang stating that I had contacted them already and it was their own issue to deal with as promised to me. But nooooooo they leave me to deal with it try to find a new home. If i do anything else with him, i can get done for animal cruelty. I cannot find anyone to help with a re-home. No-one wants to know but why is it that council are re-fusing to assist, yet i can also possibly be prosecuted for being a nuisance and noise complaints etc. No-one in council will help. I am sick of doing my bit to help council yet they will not do the same. As i said the amount of times i needed help with rubbish in the culvert behind my place, they are not so helpful, i do my best to grow natives along the creek bank, remove noxious weeds etc. I was happy to re-home chickens offered even as the girls are not annoying the neighbors and i have a large area fenced off for them and when I am home they have free rain of the back yard to be happy. I have a fenced back yard finally after dealing with contractors and EQC from the New Lynn Floods over 3 years ago and council would not have a bar of assisting with that either. My rooster issue is such a minor one but I am at a huge loss as how to deal with this now. If anyone knows someone with a lifestyle block maybe that can assist I do not know but would love council to actually take some responsibility. They are so quick to harrass me if i miss paying rates on time....... funny that.
