It feels like everywhere in Aotearoa you go right

It feels like everywhere in Aotearoa you go right now, you can bump into a new gin. This one from Ngunguru, Tutukaka Coast. @papakaroad let’s have a taste then, aye?

There’s only one beer we drink around here and it’s not red like a fire engine, nor does it have a little lion on it. But it does have a great big Scottish heart and a coo on the label. Nothing says summer like McLeod’s. @mcleodsbrewerynz

An amazing little family of NZ whisky, with a few missing bottles and more to come. I love our New Zealand whisky whānau. @cardronadistillery @thomsonwhisky @1919_distilling @waihekewhisky @lammermoor_distillery @kiwispiritdistillery @divergencewhisky @aulddistillery @nzwhisky #nzwhisky #thisisouryear

Rare and special things are found within barrels.

Rare and special things are found within barrels. I’ve been saying for a while that marvellous things are afoot in the New Zealand whisky story and this year will really add something special to the narrative. Some of the best and biggest surprises have been slowly gathering flavour in these gorgeous barrels for some time. Something wonderful is coming soon. #waihekewhisky @waihekewhisky

POEM: When the streets are full of sunlight, newsp

POEM:
When the streets are full of sunlight, newsprint but absent of voices - may you take courage in the welcome.
Remember the blessing of voices raised warm and resonant over the bells of silverware and crystal - the laugh that trills and exclamation mark of thrown back head.
Take heart in the welcome of dirty plates, bursting flavour and mismatched plates because -
the welcome is that kaleidoscopic, flung wide open door and feast-laden table for finding justice and settling old score.
May you remember, in quiet office and empty street, staring at the same walls and art - the sky is still a painting on a grey day.
Food nourishes even after the weary argument and standoff.
Departure does not diminish the welcome, which was always the gift.

Drinking non-alcoholic doesn’t have to be boring

Drinking non-alcoholic doesn’t have to be boring nor does it just have to be about the booze. A gentle non-alcoholic palate refresher is a great way to wake up the tastebuds. Starting off right - Garden Flower made with @seedlipaus_nz @seedlipdrinks @cookandnelson at @onslow.nz - taking advantage of the summer to peruse Auckland’s new openings.

May your equilibrium be steady and easy to find in

One very lucky whisky girl with a very lovely bottle of one of her very favourites from some very gold-star humans at @four15_digital @chetmanhammer - some of the best in the business and I can’t wait for the next QBR in person!

Nothing like a brand new bottle of whisky in the m
