More New Zealand pictures
February 8th, 2010 admin
Just a few more pictures from my recent trip. The glorious views over lake Wanaka from Rippon, Central Otago ( above ). This is an aerial view showing Kawarau (left) and Pisa Range (right, with its distinctive black poplar trees), in Central Otago’s Pisa district. This is one of the black poplars at Pisa Range, this time viewed from the ground.

I’m sitting on a bench outside my room at the Carrick Lodge, a Motel in Cromwell in the heart of the Central Otago wine growing region. It looks set to be another beautiful day, which is great because I’ll be meeting up with some other journos in a while for a helicopter ride over the region. I was on my own yesterday, with…

So I’m on my way home. Two weeks on the road is probably enough: I’m missing home. Still, it has been a great trip. I’m pictured above flanked by Andrew and Katharine, with whom I have spent two very enjoyable days. I wish we lived nearer to them. I’m now sitting in the lounge at Auckland airport, sipping a very precise Man...
Just waiting for my pick up to visit Felton Road. Slept all through from 8pm to 7.30am, after drifting off to sleep watching the first of the 10 hour-long episodes of Mondovino uncut. Very entertaining, but I was horridly jetlagged. Yesterday evening I had one of the best burgers of my life at the famous Fergburger. Fergberger and fries is too much...
A bit of a change. After visiting beautiful vineyards, I’ve been stuck in a room all day. But productively. It has been the Syrah Symposium here in Hawkes Bay. A mixture of science, tasting and opinion. A tight schedule, running from 8 am until 6 pm, with four excellent tasting sessions blended in with the talks. The first, led by the excellent...
Off to New Zealand tomorrow. Not the worst time of year to be visiting Kiwiland. The flight is long, and in my spare moments I like to read, so I did an amazon raid, choosing a range of books, many of which were recommended by readers here (thank you to those concerned). The Lovely Bones, Alice Sebold – a risk, this. Could be great, could be...
Eggnog is one of those much maligned holiday traditions, taking it’s place right alongside jewel speckled fruitcakes and mincemeat pie. Being a lover of eggs, sugar and cream, I never quite got why people hate it so much, but it’s popularity seems to have waned even further in recent years due to food safety concerns as well as the...
The flavor of fairness: When a recent UC Santa Cruz study asked grocery shoppers on California’s Central Coast to rank their concerns about the food system, respondents prioritized animal welfare above the treatment of human workers on the farms. This is but one example, says Bay Guardian reporter Caitlin Donohue, of cognitive dissonance in...
Four very good visits today. Pictured above, Neil McCallum of Dry River, whose wines are just incredible. I met with him – an engaging, interesting host, and Poppy and Shayne Hammond (below), winemaker and viticulturalist, respectively. The team here is doing a fantastic job. The viticulture at Dry River is immaculate, with a split canopy system,...
Another really good day today. Began with a helicopter flight over the region to get a good sense of where everything is, together with some other journalists. We landed at Carrick for a masterclass on the various varieties and subregions, as well as a vertical tasting led by Rudi Bauer. This was followed by lunch. It was a brilliantly informative...
