Another quick spring popup bruschetta — asparagus and a few of its friends. We start with a creamy, savoury parmesan custard made with a generous portion of the same Parmigiano Reggiano we serve as a cheese, bring out the nutty notes with some toasted local hazelnuts and balance the richness with some beautiful aged balsamic vinegar. On while asparagus are sweet and crisp.

Our next blind tasting night will be Tuesday the 13th. As always, $15 for corkage and some cheese, charcuterie and bread for the table, and bring along a w**e for us to add into the blind tasting lineup. Full info on our event finda page. Our last tasting featured a real collection of white w**es, with two Proseccos, one from Italy and one from Marlborough, three Sauvignon blancs, two Chardonnays, a Chenin blanc that tasted like an oxidative Spanish style and a super fresh Macabeo-led field blend from Spain that tasted like Chenin blanc. Then there was the juicy and vibrant Tempranillo disguised as Pinot noir, a 100% whole bunch Pinot disguised as Syrah, and we finished up with a powerful red with clearly identifiable Rhône… terroir. Come along next time to sharpen up your w**e tasting skills, or just make a lot of bold calls that are completely wrong while enjoying tasting a bunch of interesting w**es.

Sometimes you just want to eat sourdough with a big melting slab of honeycomb. We’ve put together this new addition to the menu to showcase this fantastic local honeycomb — a generous scattering of honeycomb sinking into a base of silky whipped Viavio Cheese ricotta, a splash of peppery Astrolabe Farm olive oil to balance sweetness, and thyme to augment the Lothlorien Lavender & Apiary honeycomb’s floral lift. Come in and try this with a bowl of warm Minghettis sourdough.

Some beautiful sunny days ahead! We have food trucks at our w**e bar tonight and all weekend. For tonight and Sunday night, Food by Sach and George will be here with their Trailer of Asia menu, featuring the pictured Korean sticky ribs from the classic menu but also special Asian inspired tacos. If you’re looking for some dumplings or other Japanese favourites, catch Sasa express here for lunch and dinner on Friday, and they will be back again on Saturday night.

Another spring bruschetta is now on the menu — whipped ricotta, pickled courgettte, pistachio and vadouvan. Building from a slice of Minghettis sourdough, we start with Viavio Cheese ricotta from Nelson, whipped with cream and lemon zest until it’s nice and silky, with ribbons of pickled courgette to cut through the richness. Then pistachio oil elevates the green, spring flavours of the courgette, and vadouvan, a mild French spice mix of aromatic spices and fried shallots, brings everything together with a complex, fragrant lift. This bruschetta is perfect as a vegetarian option, but for those wanting a little more savoury kick, fried prosciutto crumb can be added on request.

New w**es by the glass! Firstly, the Adegas Adegas Gran Vinum Albariño — we put this one on the list after it surprised us in one of our w**e club blind tastings. Aromatically, most tasters thought Gewürztraminer, with its powerful pear and lychee flavours, but on the palate, it’s juicy, with the fresh acidity you would expect from Albariño. Our red glass pour is 100% Syrah from the Côtes du Rhône, produced by the well-established family w**ery Chateau De Saint Cosme in Gigondas. This is a pure fruited expression, fermented and matured in concrete, that despite the dark flavour notes — blackberry, black plum, black pepper — has a real sense of vitality and freshness on the palate. We have a curated list of guest w**es by the glass and bottle, but if you do have something special in your cellar at home that you would like to try in our w**e bar, we also offer BYO.

It’s always a sign that spring is here when we can put our tomato bruschetta back on the menu. We think of this bruschetta more as a caprese salad on toast, with a beautiful slice of Minghettis sourdough playing host to the classic mozzarella, tomato and basil combination, where the excellent mozzarella from Viavio Cheese is just as important as beautifully sweet cherry tomatoes (given a bit of a helping hand with some nice white balsamic).
