NZ Wine Partners

21/09/2014

We're off to the Waiheke Wine Expo tomorrow (not on the floating pavilion, hurrah!) to taste some delicious wines and see our wonderful new partner wineries. Public session starts at 4:00pm at the Sofitel for those of you who are in the Auckland area and like the idea of drinking awesome wines on a Monday evening :-)

Know anyone that's looking for an event idea over the festive season? Whether it's a small private group or a large corporate event, wine, food & good times are our specialty!

After what seems like an eternity we're finally hosting another of our amazing winemaker events. Seats VERY limited so get in quick to avoid disappointment!

Exciting times (as always) here at NZ Wine Partners.

We've just brought on 2 amazing new partner wineries with a 3rd to be confirmed in the near future. All will be revealed, soon....

A huge thanks to our amazing partner wineries in Waipara / North Canterbury (Pyramid Valley, Greystone, The 3rd Man) for making our event at the World Press Photo Exhibition in Christchurch so awesome.

Next stop Wellington to do it all over again at The National Portrait Gallery with our friends from Marlborough & Martinborough!

Sorry for the delay (to those of you who were no doubt drooling with anticipation over our next food & wine match) but here's our awesome little combo.

Not sure how Zenica makes the cooking look so easy, but this tart and this riesling are, in a word, AWESOME.

Give it a go yourselves :-)

Misha's Vineyard 2012 'Limelight' Riesling This week we’re drinking a riesling from Central Otago by Misha's Vineyard. We've paired with it a simple-yet-elegent blue cheese and spinach tart - wher...

Here it is everyone!

Let us know how you go when making this at home...

A great big "thank you" to our friends at Hays Recruitment for partnering with us to host their event last night at The Northern Club.

We shared some wonderful wines from our friends at Walnut Block, Kumeu River & Mills Reef, and we also raised lots of money for the awesome people at canTeen.

Another NZWP success all around!

Does anyone know a bright young web designer (student / recent graduate) who might be keen to redesign the NZ Wine Partners website for a small fee? If so, get in touch!

Taking a break from drinking delicious wine today and heading to the NZ Beer Festival instead. Assuming it doesn't get "cycloned" off that is...

Aaaaand.....we're back!

After an extensive summer break the NZWP team are back to the business of drinking wine, creating bespoke wine experiences, and reporting to all of you wonderful people about our antics.

Our most recent 'big thank you' goes out to our fabulous friends at Man O' War for an amazing day of cricket and tomfoolery at their stunning waterfront cellar door on Waiheke Island.

Another exciting development is the addition of Amanda Betts to our team as a 'creative consultant' (we don't know what it means either) Basically she's pretty famous, very trendy, and completely wonderful! Have a look at her delightful musings on www.crazychic.co.nz

Also, we're loving the new food & wine blog from our catering partner DeliZen. Check it out at www.makelikezen.com

Lots of other exciting stuff coming up in 2014 so be sure to keep an eye on what we're posting.

More to follow soon...

bFM Wine of the Week!

The Third Man - 'Darnley Corner' Sauvignon Blanc 2012

Yet another awesome (non-Marlborough) Sauvignon Blanc. This time from our friends in Waipara at The Third Man.

Aromas of lime, tropical fruit and straw, and flavours of citrus complementing blackcurrant bud and light tropical notes. With crisp, zesty acidity, this wine has a lean body and a flinty, lingering finish.
