Bonneau du Martray has been run by Jean Charles de la Morniere since 1993, since 1994 Jean-Charles has been fine-tuning the estate that his father brought back to life. The vineyards is on the side of the great Corton Hill, near Pernand and is one of the greatest white wines produced in Burgundy. We are thrilled to be working with Jean-Charles and to have the opportunity to show you 7 vintages of Corton Charlemagne, from 2004 through to the recently arrived 2010 vintage. We will be holding a series of three tastings in May and hope that you can join us at one of them. These wines are very special and this will be a unique tasting. Venue TBC, register your interest today!

Fast becoming an institution, the Old Bottle Dinner allows every guest to bring something from their cellar that is at least ten years of age (or much older in some cases), and we always seem to find some gems here in the Victoria Park basement. You can drink only your own bottles for the evening, or share with other tables to try a wide range of rarities. The team at Dida's will prepare a delicious meal to enjoy with the wines. This will be a wonderful evening to make some new friends, and enjoy some amazing wines. If you would like to come but don't have anything to bring, please contact us and we can recommend a bottle from our cellar.

What does a 100-point wine taste like? The 2008 release of the mighty Grange has been awarded the magic 100 out of 100 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. In July, Glengarry have a limited number of seats available for a unique opportunity to try the Penfolds Grange wines, from 2001 through to the superb 2008, 100-point vintage. If you were buying these wines, you wouldn't see much change out of $5,000.00. A ticket to our tastings in Auckland or Wellington will cost you $350.00 a head, so it's a great chance to find out what this magnificent wine is all about without breaking the bank.

With winter well upon us I thought it was time to have a bit of a break from the hearty reds that we have been tasting. We know that Yves Cuilleron is a master craftsman when it comes to Syrah but this is your opportunity to experience his sheer brilliance with Viognier. We have just landed our new vintages and still have enough existing stock to be able to do three mini vertical tastings.

The vintage conditions in Bordeaux produced wines of such ripeness and alcoholic degree that the British term Claret really is a bit of a misnomer. Light in style these wines are not and what will happen to dense precocious and almost unnaturally supple wines is an intriguing question. As the world warms up is this the style that Bordeaux will become? Unfortunately first growths are beyond the budget of many and have sold out anyway, however four years down the track this selection of second and third growths should give us some answers and provide insights into the character of what is proving to be one of the most exalted years in the history of Bordeaux.

For our second Bordeaux tasting we are concentrating solely on St Emilion. As with the left bank the right bank fared just as well and produced some stunners. I have managed to put together seven lovely wines for this tasting including Angelus that Parker scored at 99 points! This will be an interesting tasting in that this is where Cabernet Franc and Merlot dominate.
