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.

Does this, or does this spooky dog park tree not sort of look like a dog face? Or am I just experiencing the 4pm exhaustions…

Have had to relocate out to Waimarama beach for the week while our floors are being restored. Dogs are not allowed inside the temp house. Rikki is NOT happy. This is my bedroom view every morning.

Ever since Hawke's Bay suffered the devastation of Cyclone Gabrielle, I swore I'd get more civic-minded and contribute should a disaster ever happen again. I was fortunate to be selected into the Hawke's Bay Emergency Response Team 18 months ago & oh my gosh, the things I've learned!!

Holy rosepetals Robin! The shiny, new Zephyr Marlborough Gewürztraminer 2024 ($26-$28) is SO delicious! Roaring with exotic aromas and fresh, frisky flavours, it's lush, plush perfection to sip with spicy food. If you're a 3-chillies-on-the-menu Southern Thai Curry I'd be very afraid 😉

How epic is this photo of the ‘militiamen’ in the 1985 Māori land-wars ‘puha western’ movie UTU. Owned by Gilly Lawrence, son of Bruno Lawrence, star of this groundbreaking 40yo New Zealand film. Join me & the Screen HB team this weekend at MTG in Napier for anniversary celebrations. Tix $10

Forgot to post this Sunday snack pic yesterday. Behold my rather triumphant mussel fritters washed down with the crazy-crisp, citrus-stacked Misty Cove Marlborough Albariño

Last night Mister Lorkin sizzled up these incredible octopus tentacles on his Christmas hibachi grill. Marinated in the sous vide @ 77degrees for 6hrs then further marinated for another 18 hrs in the fridge before launching them onto roaring hot coals. They were SOOO tender & tasty!!
