Big week at work where I am now the lab guy and the Ass WM. Nice to get back to my roots ten years after 1st being employed as one though.

Drinking a @Zephyrwines 2015 Gewürztraminer from #marlboroughnz intense lifted nose, rose petal, a gentle spice of anise and cinnamon.

Holy crapballs, maybe 2 bottles of wine was not such a great idea. #GotTheHurt

71 years old, 36years a professional firefighter. A guard of honour and the flag on the coffin. Miss you dad. #RIP

@te_upoko Stuff Holy shit, a woman gets stabbed in the face by her husband, he will most likely off due to fear& the photo is your worry.

Time for a big red, Pyramid Valley Wines 07 Cab Franc. Lovely structure, primary, hints of wet leather. Nice mint notes.

Japanese Whisky with coffee grain, awesome notes of coffee, fruit and marzipan. I love #Japanese #whisky.

"They are all mine" - mum. 3 Japanese whiskies, plus a Scottish blend finished in Japanese oak. Awesome night ahead.

Kiwi #Chardonnay—damn fine!

.Cuisine magazine MARCH2016 Giesen Wines The Brothers Gewurztraminer shar.es/14DLEy Martin Bell "the bigger & more floral the better"

#wine it's Friday.

$14.99 Vidal Reserve. Reduction, stone fruit, florals, great balance, this should cost more.

Vintage time, a bit of excitement. Granite tanks full of carbonic. The berries I am holding here are dry!
