Where has the Seresin Estate Organic Marlborough Chardonnay 2023 been all my life? Stacked with citrus intensity, grilled grapefruit, lush lemon, roast peachy notes & a gasp of green apple, there's also a sexy sniff of smoke & a whiff of toasted almonds to round out its juicy, smashable finish.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.
So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.
Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

I LOVED crafting this story on one of my winemaking heroes, the incredible Jenny Dobson. She feels wine deeply; she has a ferocious work ethic; she's a passionate parent, an unshakeably supportive wife, and one of the most creative, kind, generous & funny women I know.

I was buying Jacinda's book today when a woman lurking nearby insisted on telling me her son 'had the vax and died a week later'. Now I am wondering if it was a chance situation or whether obsessive anti-vaxxers are hanging out to confront book-buyers.

Studied hate, & harms targeting Ardern over weekend on Twitter, Facebook, & YouTube - mostly driven by imminent book launch, & also short video segment posted by CBS Sunday Morning. Second time in under a week the violence against JA, & even whānau has been so explicit, reported to Police.
