One of the "gotchas" in council's Emergency Budget is the proposal to close one of the three council-run animal shelters (Henderson, Manukau or Silverdale), plus close the animal shelter on Waiheke Island, to save $300,000.

I can only imagine what this will mean for the animals usually taken to one of those shelters.
However, my understanding is that the animal shelters are all funded from dog registration fees, impound fees, adoption fees and infringement fees, which according to the Dog Control Act 1996 can only be spent on dog control activities. So the money saved by closing the shelters would need to either be reinvested into dog control, or given back to dog owners. I don't see how it could be used to help plug council's budget gap...

This week we have enjoyed tasting and learning about innovative estates such as Burn Cottage from Central Otago, Heron’s Flight who make an exceptional Sangiovese in Matakana. Always a pleasure to taste the wines of Hans and Therese Herzog and we savoured the Mistral, a blend of 60% Viognier, 20% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne.
Te Mata’s Cape Crest showcases Hawkes Bay barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc and is interesting to compare with Sancerre from Henri Bourgeois also the owner of Clos Henri. Pegasus Bay’s Finale is New Zealand best example of a Sauternes style with deliciously ripe Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc.
Learning about New Zealand’s wine geography and tasting some special wines along the way is always rewarding.
The wines that were tasted were -
- Hans Herzog Estate, Mistral 2016
- Burn Cottage Vineyard, Pinot Noir 2016
- Te Mata Estate Winery, Caupe Crest Sauvignon Blanc 2017
- Heron's Flight Vineyard - Matakana, Amphora Sangiovese 2016
- Pegasus Bay Winery, Finale 2017
- Henri Bourgeois Sancerre, 2018 (Clos Henri Vineyard)
