The opportunity for a preview of their tasting, features at the New Zealand School of Food and Wine, on Sunday 28 July heightens the anticipation of what will be a fascinating event.

Pegasus Bay, from Waipara in North Canterbury, released its first Riesling in 1993 and today its grapes are sourced primarily from un-grafted vineyards planted over 30 years ago. Edward Donaldson also believes that while ripe fruits dominate the wine when young, given the opportunity to age, the rieslings can feel drier on the palate especially as they develop more savoury, caramel and tertiary notes.

The New Zealand Wine and Food Event is an annual three-day public event in Auckland comprising a showcase of New Zealand and international wine, cooking workshops and master classes.

An Auckland recreational boatie, Andrew Douglas Hutchings, has been ordered to pay $5,050 in fines and emotional harm payments after causing a collision on the Waitematā Harbour.

Maritime NZ Northern Regional Compliance Manager, Neil Rowarth, said Mr Hutchings had put the lives of others in danger by acting recklessly.

The collision caused all three people on board Mr Hutchings’ boat, Maraetai Star, to fall to the deck. Mr Hutchings was knocked unconscious and received a broken nose. One crew member was also rendered unconscious and received a cut to his head while the other crew member suffered a bruised hip.
