Discover a new wine at New World
"Kia ora – Andrew Watson from New World Blenheim here. Keen to discover a new top drop in time for summer?
My favourite wine from this year’s New World Wine Awards is the Kingston Estate Clare Valley Shiraz 2018. Shiraz is a slightly sweet bold and fruity style, it’s more robust than Pinot Noirs but not heavy like Cab Sauv’s if you’re looking for the perfect balanced red. I find the plum notes very appealing and while this wine is young it’s still robust, and with a couple of years cellaring it will be a fantastic drop.

bloody slow Drivers!!
Now I'm being racist or anything like that BUT it seems that just about 100 % of the slow drivers are asian Indian or old people. Now there will be a lot of haters who are going to say how much of a prick I am but listen to my side of things and what other drivers are thinking because we have places to be we are not retired and have a Sunday drive every day. Yes yes say leave earlier but it's still the same and frustrating. If it's a 50 km area do 50 not 30 or 40 or pull over it's 50.. if it's 80 or 100 kms do the speed or pull over to let the other car's pass its called CONCENTRATION FOR OTHER DRIVERS all so the rear vision mirror and side mirrors are there to see what's behind you and see cars.That's my Gripe I hope this will make some people think of others apart from themselves and not be selfish & think the road is there's for a change.
And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.
The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.
The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
