Happy birthday, Glengarry Ellerslie! Yep, one year ago we opened a new store in the historic Auckland suburb. This vibrant little community is located alongside the Southern Motorway, just 7km south of central Auckland, and we’re right at the centre of it. Take the Tecoma St off-ramp and you’ll find yourself bang in the middle of the township, with our store located at 87 Main Highway in the old Southern Cross Building.

glassware loan/hire wine, beer, spirits, riedel advice on everything wine related monthly offers hot and exclusive! fun and education we’re known for it; it’s fun! credit accounts join us!

Our Ellerslie store is helmed by the irrepressible Madeleine Sharpin who, with the Advanced Level WSET and Professional Wine Studies under her belt, is currently working towards a qualification in International Business and Marketing while managing Ellerslie fulltime. Madeleine is very passionate about her store, and with the impressive amount of wine knowledge at her fingertips, she’ll be able to enlighten you on pretty much anything you need to know.

DR RENWICK The vastly experienced Peter Saunders delivers up a great value, single vineyard Pinot from his own Waipara estate. Vibrantly ruby-esque in the bottle, the classic varietal aromas of black cherry are coloured with spice and a sensibly grounded touch of earthiness. Medium-weighted, nicely rounded, ridiculously priced.

Intensely golden, with a healthy sparkle in its eye and a delicate bouquet of fresh fruit, white flowers and sweet spices. Displaying a generous palate of fruit and pastries nuanced with honeyed apricots & poached pears, the Brut Vintage is lushly rounded and tautly textured. With 12 years on the clock, it is drinking beautifully right now, but will reward those with the patience to pop it into the cellar.

‘Enough personality to be a vintage champagne,’ say Wine Spectator, and its frothy vivacity makes the Pol NV both widely respected and hugely popular. An aristocratic yet approachable wine, it delivers layer upon layer of exquisitely balanced flavour and texture, its richly lush fruit and toast defined by precise and refreshing citrus and acid.

Withheld for double the amount of time required before release, it is consistently outstanding.

An exceptional vintage merges with a great house to provide an irresistible combination.

The Brut Rosé rides delicately in on an aromatic cloud of rose petals. But don’t be fooled; this Pinot-driven rosé is rich and weighty, effortlessly combining body with finesse. There are few of the 2002 vintage left on our shelves, but it’s no great surprise that the quality fiends at Pol Roger have given this Lovely extended time to mature before allowing it out of the house.

That’s what we’d do if it were our daughter.

Few champagne houses remain in family hands.

The impressively-pedigreed Pol Roger is one of them.

Residing in the heart of Epernay with cellars running immediately below the Avenue de Champagne for over seven kilometres, they are highly-skilled vinous alchemists in possession of an exquisite collection of wines. Not one of the region’s show ponies, Pol nonetheless lead the charge from the front.

The English obviously love them, with Pol Roger one of only eight houses to bear the English Royal Seal and the late Winston Churchill clutching Pol to his steely heart as a personal favourite. They gained what many would regard as the ultimate royal approval when handed the prized task of providing the wedding champagne for the wee shindig recently held by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

This is both a good and a bad news story: the good news has to be the deal: at $19.99 it’s a price never before seen for this wine; plus, purchase it and you’re in the draw to win a limited edition print. The bad news? It’s your last chance to buy this quality-driven sparkler, with Trinity discontinuing production. A rich and creamy Chardonnay-based méthode, it shows its winemaking finesse and has benefited greatly from spending the last two years in the bottle.

Nothing says the sun’s come out like a nice chilled glass of rosé.

The styles are diverse, with some produced from free-run juice (the first juice off the red grapes), while others are made by adding a little red to the white. Colour can be deceiving; for instance, the lightest here, the Riotor, is pretty and fragrant, yet on the palate impressively weighty. And it’s our top-selling rosé. As a warm weather enhancer, rosé is brilliant; if you haven’t discovered that yet, it’s time to catch up.

A mutation of the mysterious and elusive Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris possesses its own degree of unpredictability, coming as it does in a wide range of styles that can leave one a little uncertain of what to expect. In NZ our style is varied and only just starting to establish a defined character, with two regions leading the charge for the crown: Marlborough leans towards the richer stylings, a la Alsace, while the Central Otago wines tend to be drier. One thing’s for certain; you can’t make many generalizations when it comes to the intriguing PG.

THE COLD IS RECEDING and sun-drenched wining and dining descends upon us once more. lightly stepping, refreshing flavours are what it’s all about as we SPRING our way INTO SUMMER .

Leading the pack by a country mile, Sauvignon is our golden child, the first releases of the season eagerly anticipated the world over. NZ’s zingingly fresh and fruity expressions habitually indicate that spring has at last arrived, ushering in the delightful cycle of fresh garden produce and warm weather cuisine. You’ll find the general run of 2012 Savs released a little later than usual, thanks to the abundance of 2011 wines still on the market after that record-busting vintage. From those quick off the block, we’ve grabbed a selection of top sellers.

What’s the best way to store cheese? The best way is not to. Where applicable, have it cut off a larger piece and eat it shortly thereafter. Be sure to take the cheese from the fridge and bring it to room temperature before serving.

FINOCCHIONA SALAMI Finocchiona is a traditional Tuscan salami made from finely-ground pork and flavoured with fennel that takes its name from finocchio, the Italian word for the fragrant herb.

A popular delicacy in Tuscan parts, it is great served solo or as part of an antipasto platter. As in France, the food and wine of Italy’s regions are designed to go together, so try this with a chilled glass of Vernaccia or a spicy Chianti.

DIDA’S FOOD STORE TAKAPUNA

Ép o is s es A traditional Burgundian cheese, its pungent aroma not for the faint-hearted. A washed rind cheese, the exterior is distinctly orange, the interior a light yellow and somewhat creamy. As it ripens, the centre goes all gooey and almost runs off the plate. It can be consumed young, while the centre is still firm (at this point it is mild and creamy, not unlike Port Salut) or when ripe, when it is runny and quite strong. Its Burgundian origins pair it well with Pinot and Chardonnay, though a crisp Riesling is good company too.

Once again, the hand harvesting of fruit reflects Gibbston Valley’s deep-seated respect for the traditional approach. Ambrosial aromas of lemon peel and rose petal are edged by mineral notes, the palate itself keenly focused, off-dry, with the intense stonefruit flavours nuanced by a bracing lime-accented character. Works beautifully as an aperitif, equally well paired with food.

While the company’s main focus is undoubtedly Pinot Noir, it also boasts a collection of other varietals, all crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail that is the defining signature of this Central Otago institution.

These days they own eight vineyards in Gibbston and Bendigo.

GV’s Winemaker Christopher Keys explains: ‘Each site provides a different terroir, resulting in wines with distinctive flavour profiles that give us the opportunity to celebrate the diversity of the region.’ That statement of intent is realised beautifully in their exceptional single vineyard expressions.

winemaker christopher keys TAKES THE PLUNGE

case of 12 $40.49 a bottle Pedigree and consistency are the hallmarks of this, Gibbston Valley’s standard-bearing Pinot.

A blend of hand-harvested, estate-grown fruit, it wraps its aromas of cherry, cassis and spicy oak around a richly flavoured palate. Fragrant, elegant, complex, earthy, softly intense. It’s good to go, but if you have the patience, it’ll sleep nicely in the cellar for 8-10.

2009

FR ANCE’S unforget table vintage It’s rare to hear such unanimous praise for a vintage; when it came to 2009, winemakers, merchants and the wine press seemed to speak with one voice, with the word of the moment being ‘outstanding.’

So what’s all the fuss about? Almost perfect growing conditions produced some amazingly bold, fruit-driven wines. Combine that with the pedigree of perhaps the world’s greatest terroir, and these wines are going to last a very long time – we’re talking 40–60 years.

The unfortunate news in a vintage like this is that many of the top wines have already been sold. We did offer them at the time via our en primeur website, and congratulate our customers that took advantage of the opportunity to purchase early at a reduced price (to be part of the action next year visit www.enprimeur.co.nz).

All is not lost, however; some stocks of the top wines have just landed and are listed here. The great news, of course, is that it’s not just the top classified wines that excelled in 2009, the ‘second’ wines of the classifieds are knock-outs too, as are the petits châteaux, entrylevel wines that over-deliver in the quality stakes. Here’s an idea: purchase some 2009 wines for the cellar, then forget about them for a while and enjoy the rewards of your wisdom in the years to come.

The ‘château-on-the-side’ of Christian Moueix, the owner of Pomerol’s dazzling Château Petrus, PuyBlanquet is located within Pomerol’s neighbouring appellation, Saint-Émilion. The Merlot dominated Puy-Blanquet wines benefit from amazing vine age, with the 2009 exhibiting all the hallmarks of this great vintage, i.e. super-ripe fruit, bold tannins and the class that is encountered in all Moueix wines.

With a portion of the wine aged in new oak, it is still quite young; if you are going to try it now, give it some time in a decanter (May we suggest a Riedel one?). Will benefit from 5–10 years tucked away in the cellar. Go for a case; you won’t regret it.

‘Triusco’ translates as full-bodied, mouthfilling, exceptional. Exactly.
