  1. 1st Pinot pressing. Easy part done now for the shorts and shovel twitter.com/Nga_Waka/statu…
  2. @tripinot pressing it today, just as well we got it in yesterday now that the heavens have opened
  3. @pjbll a pressload of bot Chard and that's it, season saved by brilliant April but latest ever, need a sleep.
  4. Bot Riesling - now to turn the sow's ear into a sil purse twitter.com/Nga_Waka/statu…
  5. @finewinetwitta on reflection you're probably right, one glass for you is equivalent to teetotal for the rest of us. Get better soon.
  6. @finewinetwitta illness has affected your grammar, "no wine" does not equal "I did try this delicious sweet Vouvray. Bourillon 'La Coule"!
  7. finished picking Pinot today, latest ever but worth the wait, unbelievable after the season we've had, hooray for April
  8. @MVPinot Right, no more shaving for me then!
  9. Get the latest gorgeous cookbook AND support the Neonatal Trust! Buy from your local Mojo, Moore Wilsons or online at welcomehome.org.nz
  10. Happy vineyard manager with first load of grapes off to the press twitter.com/Nga_Waka/statu…
  11. Wet, wet, wet - panic pick or tough it out? Probably a bit of both
  12. @Lizziewine yep, latest vintage since 1993
  13. Strange having Easter off, normally picking by now. 7-10 days away - patience a difficult virtue to master
  14. Good news - we've cracked 900 heat units for the season. Less good news - ex-tropical low heading our way. Nervous days ahead.
  15. Lining up the troops for vintage twitter.com/Nga_Waka/statu…
