International wine judge Jim Harre told Jess Mavromatis​ to “give up” and “find a new hobby” after tasting the Ekleipsis​ pinot noir nouveau at Dunedin’s Moiety restaurant on Saturday.

This is the best clothesline I have ever purchased. It's so sturdy and looks beautiful. The line itself is so strong too, we had to use a grinder to cut it. I had to wait a week for it to be shipped but it was definitely worth the wait. Will definitely by buying from SwiftDry in the future.
