Hi ,
This week wine takes a back seat to beer for Beervana and the BrewNZ awards. We've got a great deal on Auchentoshan Whisky, (which is much easier to drink than it is to say), a Grange vertical review, upcoming wine and beer tastings, Wellington on a Plate, great recipes and more...
Brewers instore at Regional - Free tastings tonight thru Friday
Being Wellington's numero uno beer destination, we've managed to nab many of the brewers in town for BrewNZ and Beervana. We've got free instore tastings of Renaissance, Yeastie Boys and Harringtons over the next 3 nights. |

Kieran's great beer recipes with brews to match
Prepare to salivate - our resident beer specialist (and judge at BrewNZ) Kieran Haslett-Moore has put together delicious recipes for Potted Shrimp with 8 Wired Hopewired IPA and another for Slow-Cooked Beef Short Rib braised in porter, matched with Yeastie Boys Pot Kettle Black. |

Wines we've been drinking and Geoff Kelly's cellar picks...
Anto's been drinking (and writing about) the Felton Road Bannockburn Chardonnay 09 over lunch and Raymond was very impressed by the latest release of Penfold's Bin wines and Grange
. Plus Geoff Kelly has some very reasonable wines to stock the cellar with this month. |

Welly on a Plate and Cuisine Restaurant Awards
Only a few days left to enjoy Wellington on a Plate, so get amongst it. Anto had a delicious lunch at Hippopotamus and also a burger at Duke Carvell's. Local eateries also did well in the Cuisine awards, find out which ones here. |

The inevitable sales pitch - a Whisky that's not Risky
We've got some great specials this week instore and online. We've got Auchentoshan 12-year-old whisky that we stand by (write up here) for only $69.95, and we've got Da Vinci Chianti 2008 for $14.95, which is a lot of wine for the money (and has the added benefit of looking rather expensive!) |
