First bottle of a mini Waiheke break. Pineapple skin, sea shell and marzipan in a broad yet intense wrapper. A wine at the peak of its powers!

A Negociants New Zealand toast to the great Raymond Chan.

Stunning dinner at Non Solo Pizza with a representative from each winery. Impossible to call a favourite.
